I'm starting off the first day with a simple html page. It took a while just to set everything up on the server. The site is hosted on a Digital Ocean VPS with a LAMP stack. I have an Apache 2 server sitting in front and configured as a reverse proxy to a Tomcat 8 server for any Java servlets I host. For non-servlet content (like this html page), Apache will just serve the content directly. I also have SSL set up with a certificate from Let's Encrypt. I made a Virtual Host entry in the Apache config to redirect any http requests to https. Let's be safe. No naked data!
