  • SMTP send
  • See why PDF generation works fine with Tomcat (port 16080) but not with nginx proxy
  • URL security

DNS record

forms.nasqueron.org. 300 IN CNAME www3.nasqueron.org.

Can be updated to 86400 when moved to docker-002 (www5).

Current exploration state.

We need an up-to-date image, nasqueron/orbeon.

We'd like to follow
https://doc.orbeon.com/form-runner/access-control/scenarios#1.-anonymous-data-capture-with-administrator but step 3 about web.xml doesn't match current files content (steps 1, 2, 4 are OK).

By the way, we're out of IPv4 to waste for only a domain, but nothing prevents to serve forms. with Tomcat directly in IPv6.

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/ssl-howto.html for TLS and that's it.
