This is a comphensive index dealing with aspects of system administration and management of our clusters, as well as some of the more archine bits of setup required to make it work.

===Servers===

List of servers on linode: [http://wiki.soylentnews.org/wiki/Category:SystemAdministration/Servers Category:SystemAdministration/Servers]
* [[soylent-www]] - Primary Apache and slash servers for main site.
:: [[Hydrogen]], [[Fluorine]], [[Boron]]
* soylent-db -- mysql servers, holds the slash database.
:: [[Helium]], [[Neon]]
* dev -- Development server.
:: [[Lithium]]
* staff-slash -- Staff only Slash server.
:: [[Nitrogen]]
* irc -- IRC server and related services.
:: [[Carbon]]
* [[SystemAdministration/Backups|backups]] -- Backup services.
:: [[Oxygen]]
* directory services -- LDAP and Kerberos.
:: [[Helium]], [[Boron]]
* [[soylent-services]] - mail, wiki, other services as needed.
:: [[Beryllium]]

==Known Problems==

* '''Need cron job to backup server'''
* No init script for Apache.
* Broken https configuration
** Mostly fixed, Slash is the problem child now
* Gluster is occassionally misfiring, manifests as Apache or slashd crashing depending on the node, can be fixed with the following command cocktail
<pre>
sudo umount -l /srv/soylentnews.org # tells linux to lazy unmount, required when glusterd took a dive
sudo service glusterfs-server restart
sudo mount -a # will remount gluster without an issue

Then restart Apache/Slashd as required
</pre>

==Stuff That Needs To Be Addressed==
* Hydrogen is off line due to performance problems
* Gluster is unstable on Fluorine
* icinga/monitoring project needs to be picked up and completed
* Should have some sort of SN password safe
* Privilege Duplication - making sure that all services have multiple admins
* DNS, Audioguy is investigating some goofiness
* Systems Documentation needs to revised and brought up to date.
* Work Coordination, not always good communication when fundamental things change.

==Work Notes==
DNS is completely run and managed by Linode's DNS Manager service. This was an expedient decision when trying to get off bluehost. We may want to investigate putting the master zone file on helium or boron and having external services handle serving out our dns.

==Resources==
* [[SystemAdministration/AccessInstruction|Access Instructions]] - how to get on the nodes, get around, and kerberos for users primer
* [[SystemAdministration/GroupPermissions|Group Permissions]] - understanding our LDAP groups, what machines they can access, and where you can sudo
* [[SystemAdministration/LDAPManagementForDummies|LDAP Management for Dummies]] - how to do basic shit in that source of miserary known as LDAP
* [[SystemAdministration/TheRiseAndFallOfNewNodeManagement|The Rise And Fall Of New Node Management]] - from bash to fully intergrated node, this doc has it
* [[SystemAdministration/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheli694-22Domain|The Hitchhikerr's Guide to The li694-22 Domain]] - machine list, general information
* [[SystemAdministration/KerberosAdministration|Kerberos Administration Or Everything You Wanted To Know About Kerberos But Were Afraid To Ask]]
* [[DnsRecords]] - copy of the zone file pasted from the machine that was accidentally turned off
* [[EmergencyProcedures|Emergency Technical Procedures]] - in case of fire, break glass (Read before messing with servers)
* [[SystemAdministration/Backups|Backup Information]] - information on where and what is being backed up.

Mechanicjay:

== Basic Information ==

This node's ip address: 72.14.184.41

Services set to run at startup (can be restarted via /etc/init.d/<script>):

*postfix - SMTP server, handles incoming and outgoing mail.
*dovecot - IMAP server and mail delivery agent.
*mailmain - listserv, this is just the qrunner service which picks up stuff in the queue to mail out.
*saslauthd - Mail authentication.
*mysqld - mysql databases
*httpd - apache webserver running multiple virtualhosts

Currently, mechanicjay, robind and ncommander have ssh access to this box.

== Apache Config ==
All vhost configs are in /etc/httpd/conf.d/<servicename>.soylentnews.org.conf
All vhost wwwroots are in /var/www/vhosts/<servicename>
--mailman (lists.soylentnews.org) is the exception since that was installed as a system package via yum

Current virtual hosts:
*lists
*postfixadmin
*wiki
*forums
*webmail (squirrelmail install)
*rt (not currently active)
*000_default (nothing to see here page if no or unrecognized host header is passed)

== Mysql ==
Just a basic mysql install.

Current databases:
*postfix -- handles mail accounts -- all mail services auth against this db
*wiki
*forums
*rt

== Mail Config ==

This is a nightmare, and will have to spend some time figuring out how to document it in a sane way.

== System Packages ==

Stuff that was installed from yum will go here

Soylent-www

2014-03-15T21:28:28Z

Mechanicjay:

== Basic Information ==

Ip address: 198.58.127.22

Services that *should* be running:
*varnish
*httpd
*slash
*nginx?
*memcached

Note:
Only httpd does *not* have an init script, needs to be fired manually via apachectl.

== Varnish Config ==
Varnish is a caching reverse proxy that listens on port 80 and proxies traffic to the local apache running on port 2600.

It's current set to cache only status objects: css, js, gif, jpeg, etc.

== Nginx Config ==
No idea, I didn't set this up.

If it's passing to Varnish, it probably won't work because slash is brain-dead about upstream reverse proxies and doesn't really parse the X-Forwarded-For header properly.

If it's passing directly to the local apache, it might work a bit better.

== Apache Config ==

Listening on Port 2600, there is a setting in one of the slash includes to get perl to recognize the XFF header stuff

== Slash Config ==
No Idea, I didn't set this up.

== Memcache Config ==
This caches mysql queries so fewer queries have to go back to the db.
I didn't set this up, someone else need to document the config.

'''This is the Wiki for [http://soylentnews.org SoylentNews.org]'''

This is a home for information about how this project was started, the vision for it, and discussion about it's future.

==Project Goal==

'''To everyone involved... THANK YOU!'''

We are building a community-driven news site alternative to Slashdot. We have a functioning main site, and we are working on tweaking and improving as we grow.

The vision is to maintain a news aggregation site that delivers what's important - better articles, less fluff, and all the functionality you expect from the moderation system.

* The proposed business model is [[Finances|here]] <br>
* Some business planning is [[Business|here]] <br>
* A statement of functionality (turn into a requirements document?)--- [[FeatureList]]

== Site Name ==

We have a '''temporary''' name!

Thanks go out to everyone who made suggestions - some of them were
absolutely brilliant! For example, it hadn't occurred to me to choose a name based on a
non-English word, or a palindrome, or a puzzle. Many of the entries were quite clever.
(Adies, it took me more than a day to figure yours out. Bravo!)

I won't post the runners up because squatters might take the names before we hold the real
contest. We'll figure out a way to prevent this somehow - at worst case we can choose judges
and do it privately.

Jerry had the winning entry.

The temp name is: '''SoylentNews''' with the tagline: '''SoylentNews is people!'''

Does this rock? It hits the trifecta of website goodness:

* Descriptive in a way that mundanes will understand (compare "Photoshop" with "GIMP", "Internet Explorer" with "Firefox", and "MediaPlayer" with "VLC")

* It's part of Nerd culture, a pun, and slightly twisted

* It's suggestive of being community driven

* Possible Trademark issues

* It is attached to some movie about eating corpses and implies "News fresh as processed corpses" (??)

This will be a hard act to beat. Start thinking up names for the contest, or throw your weight
behind this one. The contest will be held soon after we open the doors.

(And it was poutine (from IRC) who suggested we use a temporary name. Others may also have suggested it, but it was his post that I noticed. Be sure to thank him if you see him on IRC.)
