    Terms of the competition
    It is necessary to configure the nginx web server in such a way that when accessing the address http: // your_vps_ip the website prepared for this purpose is displayed.

    Requirements
    Files of this site are now located in the directory: / home / administrator / contest_files.
    They need to be moved to a separate partition of 1gb or more (xfs file system), created by reducing the current partition / dev / sda3

    What to do
    • use OS booting over the network
    • upload new files to the server that were not used when installing the current version of the OS or were not on the server
    • You cannot install packages that have not been installed before.
    • you cannot disable the firewall
