A short list of projects from the VGTU “Cloud Computing” course:

1. MMO Serveris (2nd lab)

A Dawn of Light DAoC private game server, deployed two ways:

Windows Server + DOLServer - manual install on an Azure Windows VM (MariaDB, HeidiSQL, .NET 10, DAoC Portal). Manual approach.
Linux Ubuntu + Docker Compose - one-shot docker compose up -d spinning up mariadb:10.6 and ghcr.io/opendaoc/opendaoc-core:latest.

2. Hugo + Github Pages (3rd lab - this site)

A static blog generated by Hugo, hosted free on GitHub Pages. Source files live in a private repo Dason222/hugo; compiled HTML is pushed as a git submodule into the public repo Dason222/dason222.github.io.

Hi! I’m Armandas Kaleinykas, a student at Vilnius Tech (VGTU).

This site was built as part of the “Cloud Computing” course, 3rd laboratory work. The whole stack is automated end-to-end:

The page is generated by Hugo using the Beautiful Hugo theme.
The source lives in a private GitHub repository (hugo).
The compiled HTML is pushed to a public repository (dason222.github.io) and served by GitHub Pages for free.

Feel free to browse the blog for cloud notes.

Hello Cloud - setting up nginx on Azure

Sun, 24 May 2026 19:16:40 +0300

This is my first Hugo post, published as part of the VGTU “Cloud Computing” 3rd laboratory work. Below you will find a picture of the Microsoft Azure logo and a code snippet showing how I configured nginx on my Ubuntu Server VM.

nginx site config

The custom site is served from /home/azureuser/www/index.html. The minimal nginx server block looks like this:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;

    root /home/azureuser/www;
    index index.html index.htm;

    server_name mypage.com;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
}

Bringing it up

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y nginx neofetch
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mypage /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl status nginx

That’s it - my page is now live on Microsoft Azure.
