Init-script

#!/sbin/openrc-run
# Copyright 1999-2016 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2

depend() {
        need net
        use dns logger
        after apache2
}

configtest() {
        ebegin "Checking ${SVCNAME} configuration"
        eend $?
}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting ${SVCNAME}"

        nohup -- su -s /bin/bash blogmh3000 -c "(cd /var/www/blog-mh3000-net/server/exe && /opt/dotnet31/dotnet Blog3000.Server.dll  --blog-data-path=/var/www/blog-mh3000-net/server/data  | logger -t blogmh3000 )" > /dev/null &

        eend ${retval}
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping ${SVCNAME}"
        kill  `ps ax | grep Blog3000 | grep " /opt/dotnet31" | grep -v "bash" | cut -b 1-5` || exit ß
}

Syslog-ng

Add this somewhere before the log(message)-lines.

# Blog
filter f_blogmh3000 { program(blogmh3000); };
destination dest_blog3000 { file("/var/log/blogmh3000.log"); };
log { source(src); filter(f_blogmh3000); destination(dest_blog3000); flags(final);};

Rename according to your own names. Note: the program() filter equals the | logger -t [PROGRAM] in the initscript above.

Logrotate

Add as /etc/logrotate.d/blogmh3000:

/var/log/blogmh3000.log {
  missingok
  notifempty
  sharedscripts
  postrotate
        /etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
  endscript
}

As before, rename according to your own names.

Further notes

Downloads

Currently a very rough feature for offering downloads from the blog is available: The authors can put files on a cdn/ftp/public website, and reference them via the "/PublicDl". The server then is called with the filename and returns the actual url to the actual download site. This would allow download-counting or one-time url for protected downlodas in the future.

No sub-folder are supported at the moment.

Downloads may not reside in the same domain, otherwise router-module of the blog-app may take over and return 404.

Perhabs in the future a javascript base downloader may resolve this issue and allow file living in the blogs url-space for more easness.

Testing SEO output

with testbox enabled e.g. use wget

wget -O - --header="User-Agent: xx-testbot-xx" --no-check-certificate https://local-ip:5001/
