Too bad one of my webservers crashed (Solid state disk failed) 3 days ago. I have roll in a new server and migrated all websites to this new server. If you miss something, please let me known.

I also updated the following software:
– Debian to buster
– WordPress to 5.4.1

PlaatBattery 2.5.0

My Experia Box v8 worked fine last 3 years but now it is failing every few days. All inbound traffic is then blocked (my websites are not accessible anymore) because it can not reach the KPN update server. See below TR069 error. If this occur the router blocks automatic all inbound traffic, preventing any access to my servers. I called the KPN helpdesk and they are willing to replace my old Expiria Box v8 with a v10. Looking forward to receive this new router as soon as possible.

Update 04-01-2018:
I received a new router. Too bad they sent a v8 version and not the promised v10. So i called the service desk again. They promised me again to send a v10, next week.

Update 09-01-2018:
Today i received the Experia box v10. Installed it directly. So now all services are back to normal 🙂

Dear friends, Last 10 years i monitor my website traffic with Google Analytics. See below chart. My website processed more then 194 thousand visitors and 2.7 million page views. That’s really great! Thanks!

Dear people since a few days ago, PlaatSoft has an official youtube channel! See trailers, gameplays and much more! Check it out and Subscribe now on YouTube.

PlaatSoft software (PlaatSign and PlaatEnergy) runs on two Raspberry Pi’s in a Dutch Church “De Oostpoort” in Gouda. The created information system will provide church visitors realtime information about the energy use and energy production (more then 100 solar panels are installed on the roof) of the church building.

Today this website has been renewed. The layout has been given a modern dark look. The website is now also suitable for tablets and smartphones. Depending on the device type, the look and feel of the information is adjusted. In the short term, the server hardware on which this website is running will also be modernized so that the interaction is also accelerated. 

My Raspberry Pi Tower is growing steadily. At this moment I have 4 Raspberry Pi’s (mini computer) running. One Pi is designed as an Access Point to the Internet and provides the SSL offloading. Furthermore, he routes the HTTP traffic via an Apache Reverse Proxy to the underlying three Pi’s. These Pi’s are arranged as web server and provide 22 websites. The advantage of this solution is that the total energy consumption (including gigabit switch) is approximately 30 Watt and the websites still provide a good response.

The following domains are hosted on the above hardware. Each domain also has a number of subdomains
PlaatSoft.nl
PlaatResort.nl
WarQuest.nl
KerkInGouda.nl
StichtingOpenHuisGouda.nl

The last 12 months I was very busy designing and building a small chalet on an island (1300m2) in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands. That’s the reason that the PlaatSoft software development was on hold. The house project is almost finished, so i am back again.

This afternoon I have upgraded my web server.

The following changes were implemented:
– WordPress is upgrade to 4.8.4
– All WordPress plugins are upgraded to latest available version.
