[FREE MODULE] Alternative Server Information

[AltShopMods]

This is a module for alternative view of indicative information about a server and additionally guidelines for evaluation of its status. Even though there is already a  "Information" (in "Advanced Parameters") page with information about the server and there is also "Server Configuration" (by Mediacom87) module available, this module aims to provide a different look and use the information for a quick evaluation. Some information like OpenSSL details and kernel version is missing in the "Information" (in "Advanced Parameters") page of PrestaShop and despite the information being provided in that "Server Configuration" (by Mediacom87) module, it does not provide indication to less knowledgeable people about what this useful information actually means and how it can help.

A lot (around a half according to some CMS statistics) of servers are still using officially unsupported software without security updates being provided by official vendor (in some cases since years ago). Extended support by official vendor might be not available either. A part of that problem is the lack of awareness about it by people with less knowledge about servers and how they work.

Even though the information about server's software versions can be viewed on "Information" (in "Advanced Parameters") page, there is no clear indication about what those names and numbers actually mean. This modules aims to solve that and provide assistance regarding whether action should be taken or the server is fine for now.
