First post on 2015!

I have a raspberry pi several months ago, and I often use it to recording temp and humidity, uploading to a cloud host, but after a home movement, it had been stored in my drawer. Last day of 2014, while waiting 2015, I want build it and host an external disk for MacBookPro backup(Time Machine), but failed for power supply, normal power supply is not enough for raspi, so I should buy another USB Hub powered by itself.

My raspi used a wireless NIC to connecting with my router(OpenWrt), but I want use a ethernet cable for it, so it can get a unique IP on Internet, but when I pluged it, the wireless NIC would down, because of ifplugd or something else, so I keep the wireless NIC working and add some rules on route, port forward, WAN 80 to rasp 80, WAN 443 to rasp 443.

Install nginx viasudo apt-get install nginx, remove default siterm /etc/nginx/sites-enable/default, add conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d, like this:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name dawncold.me;
  return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

# HTTPS server

server {
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name dawncold.me;

  root /usr/share/nginx/dawncold.me;
  index index.html index.htm;

  ssl on;
  ssl_certificate /usr/share/nginx/dawncold.me/dawncold.me.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /usr/share/nginx/dawncold.me/dawncold.me.key;

  ssl_session_timeout 5m;

  ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1;
  ssl_ciphers ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv3:+EXP;
  ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

  location / {
      try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
  }
}

I got a SSL certificate from nc.me(github student pack), so I rewrite HTTP to HTTPS.

start nginx via sudo nginx or reload config via sudo nginx -s reload.

Oh, your should update your domain A record to your router WAN ip address, you can write a script or use your router buildin DDNS function.

Octopress supported rsync publishment, so edit your Rakefile and enter your raspi ssh account and nginx html root path, like /usr/share/nginx/www.

publish to github and rasp: rake gen_deploy rsync or only to raspi: rake rsync.
