Alkane is the new codename for our platform to host PHP and static websites.

Alkane servers offer:

  • nginx to serve static content directly and proxy other requests
  • php-fpm to serve PHP content

We maintain a state-of-art installation in the continuity of our shared hosting expertise: up-to-date PHP versions, dedicated site users for privilege separations, custom PHP pools.

Sites are published to Alkane by a Jenkins job running on CD. Again for privilege separation, Jenkins uses different containers per site to build the site artefact.

Alkane is a work in progress to track at T1803.

Why Alkane?

Oh, it's a word Dereckson thought about while thinking about a new webserver-<word> to replace webserver-legacy.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT suggested "pulse" among other uninspired names.

Some fun about what ChatGPT has to say about Alkane: 

   Alkane could be a good product name for a webserver distribution for PHP and static sites. The name "Alkane" is a chemical term that refers to a type of hydrocarbon molecule that is characterized by its stability and simplicity. This name could be interpreted to mean that the webserver distribution is stable and easy to use.
   
   Additionally, the name "Alkane" has a unique and memorable sound, which could help the product stand out in a crowded market. The name is also short and easy to spell, which could make it easy to remember and type into search engines.
   
   ______
   
   Alkane, with its connotations of stability and simplicity, could be a good fit for a PaaS that offers a reliable and user-friendly hosting experience. The name also has a technical-sounding quality that could resonate with developers and IT professionals who are familiar with the concept of hydrocarbons in chemistry.

Both Alkane and Pulse are aligned with Nasqueron values: 

   Alkane, with its connotations of stability and simplicity, could reflect the value of elegance and simplicity that Nasqueron promotes. Meanwhile, Pulse, with its connotations of speed and responsiveness, could reflect the values of innovation and continuous improvement that Nasqueron also promotes.
