+# Creating a website
+
+_updated: Jul 23rd, 2024_
+
+COSI websites are stored in docker containers on Tiamat.
+
+1. Get permission
+
+2. Create a DNS entry for your website on [zones](https://github.com/COSI-Lab/zones). 
+    - Websites are hosted on [Tiamat](../infrastructure/servers/tiamat.md)
+    - in both db.cosi and db.cslabs files create a new entry 
+    ```
+    <website name>  IN CNAME    tiamat
+    ```
+    - follow the directions in the zones' readme
+
+3. Place your repo on tiamat in the `/docker` folder with a `docker-compose.yaml`, a `Dockerfile`, and a `nginx.conf` and anything else you need. 
+
+4. Run the containers using `./run.sh`

+## Notes
+Servers like mirror and kasper that should ideally be up around the clock were placed in COLO because COLO is backed by a generator. There were a couple of incidents where the power went out on the hill campus that made COSI re-evaluate placement. If you want to know more about why the network changed you can take a look [here](https://carlone-capstone.cosi.clarkson.edu/).
+
+There is room to add more [VLANs](vlans.md) to the network. Any new VLAN that needs internet connection can use the same port as the private VLAN that connects the two primary fiber switches.
