About This Project

This website is the front-end component of a cloud server project built for ICT171 — Introduction to Server Environments and Architectures at Murdoch University (2026, Semester 1).

The system demonstrates a practical use case for cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): a shift clock-in and clock-out tracker suitable for small teams or volunteer groups.

All server configuration was performed manually through SSH — no pre-installed bundles or marketplace images were used. The web server is Apache 2 running on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

How It Works

  1. Enter your name in the Worker Name field.

  5. View totals, delete individual records, or clear all history at any time.
