Linux Server Deployment
Linux server deployment is the last project at Udacity's full-stack nanodegree.
The goal of the project is to deploy a project to a linux server and to protect the server.
Instructions to access the server
Use bash's ssh command line to access the remote machine according to this syntax:
ssh <user_name>@<ip_address> -p <port> -i <private_key>
-
user_name:
grader -
ip_address :
18.184.94.109 -
port:
2200 -
private_key: messaged privately
-
Url of the app:
http://18.184.94.109.xip.io
N.b. to view the app in the browser, use the url and not the ip, as Google's requires a hostname for Oauth to work on the website.
