IUT - Network service infrastructure setup

Installation and configuration of network services on a virtual Debian environment

Cover

Context

Academic project focusing on system administration and network service deployment in a virtualized environment. The project addresses practical aspects of server configuration and management.

Objective

Implementation of a complete network service infrastructure emphasizing:

  • Virtual machine setup and management
  • Core service installation and configuration
  • Remote access configuration
  • Database system implementation

Implementation

1. Virtual environment setup

  • QEMU-based Debian virtual machine deployment
  • CLI-focused installation without desktop environment
  • Port forwarding configuration for remote access
  • Backup and recovery procedures implementation

2. Core services configuration

  • SSH service deployment for remote management
  • Apache web server installation and verification
  • PostgreSQL database setup and user management
  • Remote database access configuration

3. Service integration

  • Network service intercommunication setup
  • Security configuration for remote access
  • System monitoring implementation
  • Performance validation

Results

Key deliverables:

  • Fully functional Debian virtual environment
  • Configured network services (SSH, Apache, PostgreSQL)
  • Remote access capability for all services
  • Comprehensive technical documentation

This infrastructure provides a foundation for web application hosting with database backend support, accessible both locally and remotely through configured port forwarding.
