Secure a nextcloud instance on Debian 7 Wheezy that can no longer get certificates via certbot

We were running a shared NextCloud instance at nextcloud.libreinfra.org for sometime on Debian GNU/Linux 7 Wheezy. It was setup on a shared hosting tool that is no longer maintained (Manu would know the details), upgrading the host was not possible. Most other services were migrated to other systems but this nextcloud service remained on this host. Sometime back certbot stopped working (likely because the openssl version is too old and it does not support newer crypto) and we could not continue using https, so this was left untouched for a long time.

My Experience of attending DebConf22 in Kosovo

This blog post was originally published on Ravi’s personal blog and we reposted here for more visibility.

I just came out of what has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life– DebConf in Kosovo. DebConf is the annual conference of Debian contributors from all around the world. This was my first time attending a DebConf ever, which presented a great opportunity for me to explore different cultures and food, along with making many new friends in the Debian community as it featured 210 attendees from 38 countries.
