Virtual Hosts on nginx (CSC309)

When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world) using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one may wants to host three different web apps respectively for example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on the same machine using a single IP address.

How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers

Implementing State Machine On Eloquent Model*

* Update (12.09.2017): I have improved the trait so that it can be used with objects other than Eloquent Models.

Some days ago I came across a task where I needed to implement managable state for an Eloquent model. This is a common task, actually there is a mathematical model called "Finite-state Machine". The concept is that the state machine (SM) "can be in exactly one of the finite number of states at any given time". Also changing from one state to another (called transition) depends on fulfilling the conditions defined by its configuration.

Practically this means you define each state that the SM can be in and the possible transitions. To define a transition you set the states on which the transition can be applied (initial conditions) and the only state in which the SM should be after the transition.

That's the theory, let's get to the work.

Background

DevOps started out as "Agile Systems Administration". In 2008, at the Agile Conference in Toronto, Andrew Shafer posted an offer to moderate an ad hoc "Birds of a Feather" meeting to discuss the topic of "Agile Infrastructure". Only one person showed up to discuss the topic: Patrick Debois. Their discussions and sharing of ideas with others advanced the concept of "agile systems administration". Debois and Shafer formed an Agile Systems Administrator group on Google, with limited success. Patrick Debois did a presentation called "Infrastructure and Operations" addressing
