# IX Web Hosting Server

`ix.azcomputerguru.com` — Arizona Computer Guru's cPanel/WHM shared-hosting box.
It hosts ACG's own public-facing static sites (including **radio.azcomputerguru.com**),
the community forum, the analytics server, and ~87 client WordPress installs.

> Deep operational detail (cPanel account hygiene, WordPress hygiene, mail
> accounts, the Cox→Cloudflare BGP workaround) lives in
> [`wiki/clients/internal-infrastructure.md`](../clients/internal-infrastructure.md).
> This article is the **systems-level** record and the home for the ACG static
> sites deployed here.

## Host facts

| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Hostname | `ix.azcomputerguru.com` |
| Internal IP | `172.16.3.10` (Tailscale required) |
| External IP | `72.194.62.5` |
| Stack | CloudLinux 9.7, Apache, WHM/cPanel, per-account MySQL/MariaDB |
| WHM | `https://ix.azcomputerguru.com:2087` — **DNS-only / grey-cloud** in Cloudflare (`:2087`/`:2083` can't traverse the tunnel) |
| SSH | `ssh root@172.16.3.10` (internal) or `ssh root@72.194.62.5` (external) |
| Vault | `infrastructure/ix-server.sops.yaml` |
| Edge | Cloudflare tunnel `acg-origin` (UUID `78d3e58f-1979-4f0e-a28b-98d6b3c3d867`) on Jupiter routes the ACG hostnames to IX `:443` |

[WARNING] Do NOT attempt interactive/key-based SSH from scripts to the `gurushow`
account host path — for that account use paramiko with `look_for_keys=False,
allow_agent=False`. Root SSH uses the vault password (`infrastructure/ix-server.sops.yaml`).

## Hosted ACG sites

| Hostname | Stack | cPanel account / doc root |
|---|---|---|
| **radio.azcomputerguru.com** | Astro static (+ React islands) | `azcomputerguru` → `/home/azcomputerguru/public_html/radio` |
| azcomputerguru.com | Astro static (public site) | `acg` / `azcomputerguru` |
| community.azcomputerguru.com | Flarum forum | (forum DB) |
| analytics.azcomputerguru.com | Matomo | — |
| (radio audio archive) | static MP3 archive | `gurushow` → `/home/gurushow/public_html/archive/Radio/` |
| ~87 client sites | WordPress | per-client cPanel accounts |

All four ACG hostnames above reach IX through the Cloudflare tunnel (all returned
HTTP 200 via tunnel as of the 2026-04-13 cutover). `ix.azcomputerguru.com` itself
stays grey-cloud (direct to `72.194.62.5`) so WHM/cPanel ports work.

## radio.azcomputerguru.com — "The Computer Guru Show" website

The public site for the radio show. **Built by Claude; source lives in the
ClaudeTools repo**, not on the server — the server only holds the built `dist/`.

| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| URL | https://radio.azcomputerguru.com |
| Source | `projects/radio-show/website/` (ClaudeTools repo) |
| Framework | Astro `^6.0.4`, `output: 'static'` |
| Islands / libs | `@astrojs/react` (React 19), `@astrojs/mdx`, `@astrojs/sitemap`, `@astrojs/rss`; `wavesurfer.js` (episode audio waveform), `fuse.js` (client-side search) |
| Node | `>= 22.12.0` |
| Content | Markdown/MDX collections at `src/content/episodes/` and `src/content/blog/` (`src/content.config.ts`) |
| Pages | `index`, `about`, `community`, `contact`, `live`, `subscribe`, `episodes/`, `blog/`, `feed.xml` (RSS), `404` |
| Layout | single `src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro`; components under `src/components/{global,home,episodes}/` |
| Analytics | Matomo site ID 3 — tracker injected into built HTML before `</head>` |

### Build & deploy

```bash
cd projects/radio-show/website
npm install          # first time only (node >= 22.12.0)
npm run build        # -> dist/
# deploy: rsync dist/ contents to the IX doc root
rsync -az --delete dist/ <ix>:/home/azcomputerguru/public_html/radio/
```

`astro.config.mjs` pins `site: 'https://radio.azcomputerguru.com'` (correct
canonical URLs + sitemap + RSS). There is no server-side runtime — it is a pure
static deploy.

### Relationship to the radio-show project

The website is **tier 1/3** of the post-show content workflow documented in
[`wiki/projects/radio-show.md`](../projects/radio-show.md): each episode produces
an episode page (`src/content/episodes/sXXeYY-slug.md`) and 1–3 deep-dive blog
posts (`src/content/blog/<slug>.md`), generated from show-prep + debrief and
deployed here. The audio-processing pipeline, archive DB, and FastAPI browse UI
are separate from this static site.

### human-flow note

The site is Astro static but ships **React 19 islands**, so the `human-flow`
AST scanner can analyze its `.tsx` island components (it skips `.astro`
templates). Point it at `projects/radio-show/website/src/components` for a
component-level Friction Index; the page-level `.astro` flows still need a
manual/heuristic pass.
