description A short introduction about server-side requirements

The Provisioning Server

Requirements

  • A host with a static ipv4/ipv6 address or similar setup
  • The host should run a Linux distribution
  • A DNS provider with API access

Goals

Assuming the server is reachable under the domain st-provisioning.com, then the following must be given:

  1. Support HTTPS at st-provisioning.com

  2. Listen on port 80 on every subdomain *.st-provisioning.com and *.*.stprovisioning.com

  3. Forward *.st-provisioning.com to st-provisioning.com/* and *.*.st-provisioning.com to st-provisioning.com/*/* respectively

  4. and 3. are important steps for the CT log feature, which is currently under development. It enables the tooling to request a certificate for a unique subdomain at a Certificate Authority like Let's Encrypt.
