Web And Homepage

isginf manages a highly available webserver used for personal home pages and websites of the department.

Personal Home Page

Every member of the Department of Computer Science is entitled to a personal home pages. The URL of your personal home page is

http://people.inf.ethz.ch/user

where user is replaced with your nethz user name.

Access

To edit your personal home page in a linux shell environment you can log in (via SSH) to the host web-login.inf.ethz.ch using your nethz login and mail service password. The directory public_html in the home directory is the directory shown under http://people.inf.ethz.ch/user. The index file name is either index.htm or index.php.

The home directory can also be accessed via CIFS/SMB at \\fs.www.inf.ethz.ch\user (more information here). For publishing using publishing software we recommend to use SFTP to user@web-login.inf.ethz.ch:/home/user/public_html to upload your content.

Features and Limitations

You can use PHP5 and external databases. CGI and SSI scripts are disabled.

You are limited to 1GB of storage for all the files in your web home directory.

Usage

You may put up any content that is not in conflict with the BOT on your personal home page.

We recommend that you put papers and important information related to your research on the website of the group or institute. Your personal home page will eventually be deleted while websites will typically last significantly longer.

Backup

The data is backed up daily. If you have lost files you can restore them from the snapshots. On web-login.inf.ethz.ch they can be accessed at /restore/user/. The snapshots can also be accessed via the SMB share \\restore.www.inf.ethz.ch\user (more information here).

Lifetime

Your personal home page is automatically created when you start working at the D-INFK.

Your personal home page is automatically deleted when your nethz account or its mail service expires.

It is important that you keep reading mail going to your @inf.ethz.ch address after you leave. You will be informed one month before your nethz account expires and need to contact your IT Coordinator or isginf if you want to keep your nethz account and your personal home page.

Websites

Dedicated websites are available for research groups or projects. Contact isginf to order one.

External Domains

Domains other than inf.ethz.ch or ethz.ch can be used. The hosting of the DNS entry at an external provider must then be organized by the website owner.

Lifetime

The lifetime of a website is currently not limited as long as it has an owner located at the D-INFK. Websites are associated with a group. If the group is dissolved, e.g. because its professor leaves ETH Zurich, a new owner must be found.
