Notes

Course site for the laser cutting intro course ("Introkursus til lille laser"), in Danish. Serves the course materials (slides, plancher, worked examples) for download and takes participant file uploads during the course.

Behind Traefik basicAuth — the credentials are handed out in class. Uploads are restricted to laser-relevant formats (SVG, DXF, PDF, common raster, archives), capped at 20 MB, and stored as <participant>_<timestamp>_<filename> under /srv/laser_course/uploads.

Deployed from the baobab.laser-course role in AnsibleBaobabV4 (the app source and the course materials both live in that role):

ansible-playbook play_containers.yml --limit makerfloss -t laser-course

Two things worth knowing before a course:

• Uploads are not backed up. backup_enabled is false on this VPS, and laser_course_clean_uploads_on_deploy is set to false here so that an unrelated deploy does not delete them. Collect anything worth keeping and clear the directory by hand between courses.
• The site moved here from laser.baobab.band on the home estate in August 2026; laser.makerfloss.eu is the canonical address.
