'''Note''': This is an effort toward the end of Fall 2017 to get new hardware, determining if we can use old hardware for anything, bring many vtluug services back to life plus add new services, fix major problems relating to the page does '''not''' reflect current infrastructure, make managing the current infrastructure easier, and to provide enough documentation so that anybody can have a very good understanding . It was for planning purposes. As of how 2019 everything works without having has been migrated to ask the officers about every little everything. This goes beyond documentating what we have (aka the wiki)new infra, instead provide a sort of guide that provides an overview on how to run everything. Yes, we realize this is a massive task. Timeline TBDas explained in [[Infrastructure]].
One major change we are considering is running an oVirt cluster If you're looking for managing everything, along with offering a VPS service in addition to shell accounts on the older project [[InfrastructureUser:Acidburntelnorattti|Acidburntelnoratti]] proposed, details about it are at [[Summer_2013_New_Machines]]. This is not possible with the current hardware.
OhThis is an effort toward the end of Fall 2017 and early Spring 2018 to get new hardware, determining if we can use old hardware for anything, bring many vtluug services back to life plus add new services, fix major problems relating to the current infrastructure, make managing the current infrastructure easier, and tshirtsto provide enough documentation so that anybody can have a very good understanding of how everything works without having to ask the officers about every little thing. This will be summarized at https://vtluug.org/rtfm.txt One major change offering a VPS service in addition to shell accounts on [[Infrastructure:Acidburn|Acidburn]]. This is not possible with the current hardware.

== Getting new hardware ==
[[Infrastructure:Cyberdelia|Cyberdelia]] is the only connected physical machine right now, besides [[Infrastructure:Temp88191|our router]]. See [[Infrastructure 2017]]. We are planning to request funding from the SBB for new infrastructure as early as possible Spring 2018.
We are still working on exactly what to ask for, but here are some desirable things:
//TODO link items
{| class='wikitable' id='sortMe'
!Priority
|}
Ideally we will get 2.A much more detailed price analysis will be done for the SBB. \o/ We got $1300 to get 2 R620s!!
== Hardware Configuration ==
==== Hardware we will definitely have:====
* temp88191
* [[Infrastructure:Cyberdelia|Cyberdelia]]
* [[Infrastructure:Wood|Wood]]
* 2x SGI (Phantomphreak/Joey)
* 2x R620s (Meltdown/Spectre)
=== Assuming we do get SBB funding = Configuration ====Additional hardware: 2x R620 * Router/DNS Server: joey (sry temp88191is too old)
* NAS: [[Infrastructure:Cyberdelia|Cyberdelia]] due to its HDD capacity
* oVirt ControllerLibvirt hosts: R620* oVirt Workers (via PXE): R620 Controller, the other R620, Phantomphreak, JoeyMeltdown & Spectre
* HPC: [[Infrastructure:Wood|Wood]] due to its 4U height that can easily fit gpus
=== If we don't get SBB funding ===We probably need to get some additional RAM & CPUs for Wood Diagrams in this case in order to do the cluster.progress
* Router: temp88191* NAS: [[Infrastructure:Cyberdelia|Cyberdelia]]== Networking ==* oVirt Controller: [[Infrastructure:Wood|Wood]]* oVirt Workers (via PXE): See [[Infrastructure:Wood|WoodNetwork]], Phantomphreak, Joeyfor a mostly up to date networking layout.
Public IPv4s are the same except for a few, the local IPv4 network is different, and IPv6 is completely different because we have a prefix.
We may also get some additional hardware early Spring 2017==== Public IPv4 addresses ===={| class='wikitable' id='sortMe'!Function!DNS!IP|-|Router/DNS|joey.vtluug.org|128.173.88.191|-|One Libvirt Node (out of 2)|meltdown.vtluug.org|128.173.89.

Diagrams As per [[User:echarlie|echarlie]], "check rdns. if there isn't an entry, and it's in progressece's allocated block, we can use it." == Service Importance =='''Note''': This section's PoV does '''not''' taking into account the current state of service. Instead, it assumes services are being installed to a new infrastructure.
== Infrastructure Organization ===== Planned Infrastructure Organization ===* Use [[w:Debian|Debian]] instead of [[w:Centos|Centos]] due to better compataiblity with [[w:ZFS|ZFS]] and upgradability. Regarding the dead [[EL Migration Project]], I'd like to see some specific examples of this if it's an issue because both [[w:Debian|Debian]] and [[w:Centos|Centos]] are both very popular for servers.* Continue using [[InfrastructureSyntax:temp88191|temp88191]] as a router. OS TBD. Currently running ubuntu 14.04 (upgrade to 16.04 possible) Also see [[Infrastructure:Networking|our networking setup]]* Get a new compute server, and use [[Infrastructure:Cyberdelia|Cyberdelia]] as a NAS Overall service (possibly using [[w:FreeNAS|FreeNAS]] or [[w:FreeBSD|FreeBSD]]hostname).* Possibly use some old hardware for part of an oVirt or Proxmox cluster.
Services running on each host are covered in the following sections
== Service Importance = Essential ==='''Note''': This section assumes we get ==== Bare Metal ====* Routing (joey)* DNS (joey)* Firewall (joey)* NAS ("new hardware that enables us to do an oVirt or Proxmox cluster" dell 2900 - dirtycow, dell 2900 - cyberdelia, r310 - shellshock)* Libvirt hosts (meltdown, which would require downtime and reorganization of the current services in addition to future planned services.spectre)
=== REQUIRED =VMs ====* FreeIPA (chimera)* [https://github.com/mutantmonkey/foodforus foodforus]Web services (sczi)* Improved homepage using bootstrap and some webshit.Shell (acidburn)
=== VERY IMPORTANT Very Important ======= Bare Metal ====* VPS system via Libvirt** Somewhat automated system where a user is given a VM** Give each user an ipv6 address* NAS Backup
=== IMPORTANT =VMs ====* elk (theplague)** Need to research this a bunch* jitsi.vtluug.org (jitsi)** Proxy through sczi* emby.vtluug.org (emby)** Proxy through sczi* mirror.vtluug.org (mirror)* syncthing discovery server (sync)
=== Important ======= VMs ====* IPv6 support for [http://Tahoe-LAFS (crashoverride)* telnet BBS** How tf do these things work* wargame.vtluug.org:70 gopher://(wargame)* Archive Team Warrior* map.vtluug.org](map)
=== Other things to consider ===
* diaspora*
* finger (kerberos-based)
* talkd
* member web pages in vtluug.org/~username/
== Migration ==
=== VTLUUG Site ===
* Setup on sczi via the web ansible role
 
=== VTLUUG & Gobblerpedia wiki ===
* Backup content using dumpBackup.xml script
* Setup on sczi via the web ansible role
* Restore content to new wiki
== Issues with current services ===== VTLUUG Site Wadsworth/phenny ===* THIS IS SHITUse irc3 module instead* We're literally proxying a static github page (vtluug.github.io)* we killed off all Setup on acidburn via the dynamic pump.io and identi.ca features that used to exist; we should bring these back or at least make the site not shitsmall-services ansible role
=== gopherspace VTBash ===* server doesn't support IPv6* need to actually use /files Setup on itsczi via the web ansible role
=== hokieprivacy Hokieprivacy ===out of date* Setup on sczi via the web ansible role
=== linx Linx ===someone needs to update binary* Setup on sczi via the web ansible role
=== TOR services Acidburn ===linx, hokieprivacy, and the main site * Migrate homedirs to dirtycow NAS* Implement background tmux irc systemd service (hence vtluug.org) can be accessed over tor. advertise these urls or make them more memorable just tell people to use crontabs @reboot (or bothsounds like u got a problem w/ systemd))
=== vtluug.org/files User Accounts ===* need easier way for nonSetup on chimera via freeipa-root server ansible role* Import LDAP accounts to add stuff here???freeipa
=== ldap /tank ===ldap sucks and needs * Move main stuff to die. this is also dirtycow* Clean up a cent6 boxbit
==Issues with current services = mail ===* train spamassassin against a corpus of spam so it filters better* sieve doesn't seem to work at all; fix thatWhen (re)implementing services listed above do the following changes.
=== Most services (LDAP, others) VTLUUG Site ===* Need standard place to put script for organization on physical server We're literally proxying a static github page (aside from a git repovtluug.github.io)** [[Wadsworth]] contains debian SysV init scripts in the ircbot homedir** VTBash contains scripts in [[User:pew|pew]]'s homedir (which echarlie moved Probably should be redesigned to a sane place)** router configs are on github, as are old ldap configs and triggered in rc.localbe slightly more dynamic using jekyll or flask or something
=== VTLUUG wiki ===
* Need meeting script
* Some meetings weren't added Need to category (fixed??)* Lots clean up a lot of out of date old information---should purge or at least clean up* can't delete pages* Templates?
=== Gobblerpedia ===
* Lots of out of date information
* Need Building templates for buildings---currently using bloated wikipedia scripts that don(populate automatically from database) === Wadsworth/phenny ===* Things constantly break, but there't reflect our needss nothing we can really do about this* automagically add data scraped from webpages Migrate to gobblerpediairc3 pythong library for a stable core* can't delete pagesMigrate SysV scripts to systemd unit files
=== VTBash ===
* [https://bash.vtluug.org bash.vtluug.org] is working as of August 2017Old shitty interface converted from python2 to python3** Nothing good seems to already exist, so we probably need to write one from scratch* An issue with the code resulted in Need to merge 2 different old sqlite databases** Causes bug when only 1 quote author is entered, eathis is why they can't be merged === Hokieprivacy =ch of which ==* Mobile formatting is very large fucked -- someone should look into the hugo templates and goodfix* Out of date === Linx ===*Offload storage to NAS* We Binaries need updating* Need to convert these sqlite dbsdo reddit stress test === vtluug.org/files ===* Needs overhaulNeed easy way fo non-root to add stuff here === vtluug.org/users/~$USERNAME ===*should document for users* Shittly ported to python 3 from python 2maybe support dynamic server-side content (probably not; use js) === mail ===*Train spamassassin (use corpus)* word wrap Sieve doesn't happen seem to work === gopherspace ===* who tf uses gopher (feature fwiw, gopher was 90% of the goal of project bringing sexy back)* legacy IP only, b/c pygopherd is shite === TOR services ===linx, hokieprivacy, and the main site (hence vtluug.org) can be accessed over tor. advertise these urls or bug???make them more memorable (or both
