Admin Panel Restorage, API down and IPV6 deactivation
Restored the Customer's Administration Panel (CloudPanel) as the port was blocked, fixed the API as it had compilation issues on the source code and deactivated IPV6 as requested.
THE PROBLEM
Administration panel down, server could not be managed. Port was blocked in firewall configuration. API's source code contained errors and could not be compiled properly.
THE RESULT
Unblocked the CloudPanel administration port at the firewall level, restoring its access to the management panel. Fixed the API as it contained errors in the javascript compilation (Nodejs), once that was fixed, the API was running again. Disabled IPV6 at the network config in Ubuntu 22.04 as the customer requested.
EVIDENCE:
Technical Implementation
Deactivating IPV6
Applied sysctl settings to disable IPv6 at kernel level in Ubuntu Server 22.04 (/etc/sysctl.d/99-disable-ipv6.conf)
Cloudpanel not working
The cloudpanel was running on the port 80 which was already used by Nginx's default page, so the page had to be disabled in order to regain access to the administration panel.
Node.js API Compilation Fix
The API was missing packages, and that's why it could not run, had to install "jsonwebtoken" as the customer added the line to user but didn't actually install the package
Challenges Overcome
- •Admin panel blocked by another application, no access or control. Everything had to be done without an interface.
- •Source code messed up, unstable and with errors.
- •There were multiple API endpoints in a single file which made it harder to debug.
Key Outcomes
- ✓Admin panel back online and working as it should.
- ✓Cleaned up the source code, installed packages and made sure it run.
- ✓Divided API endpoints in dedicated files to prevent this to happen again.
