'''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 OpenStack 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

== 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:

As per [[User:echarlie|echarlie]], "check rdns. if there isn't an entry, and it's in ece's allocated block, we can use it."
== Old hardware evaulation Service Importance ===== [[Infrastructure'''Note''':Wood|Wood]] ===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.
=== [[InfrastructureSyntax:Phantomphreak and Joey|Phantomphreak and Joey]] ===* Overall service (hostname)
== 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 Services running on each host are covered in the effectively 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 [[Infrastructure: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 (possibly using [[w:FreeNAS|FreeNAS]] or [[w:FreeBSD|FreeBSD]]).* Possibly use some old hardware for part of an OpenStack cluster.following sections
== Planned Services = Essential ====== REQUIRED =Bare Metal ====* Routing (joey)* DNS (joey)* Firewall (joey)* [https://github.com/mutantmonkey/foodforus foodforus]NAS ("new" dell 2900 - dirtycow, dell 2900 - cyberdelia, r310 - shellshock)* Improved homepage using bootstrap and some webshit.Libvirt hosts (meltdown, spectre)
=== VERY IMPORTANT =VMs ====* FreeIPA (chimera)* Web services (sczi)* Shell (acidburn)
=== 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
==== VMs ====* IPv6 support for [http://elk (theplague)** Need to research this a bunch* jitsi.vtluug.org (jitsi)** Proxy through sczi* emby.vtluug.org:70 gopher://(emby)** Proxy through sczi* mirror.vtluug.org (mirror)* syncthing discovery server (sync) === Important ======= VMs ====* Tahoe-LAFS (crashoverride)* telnet BBS** How tf do these things work* wargame.vtluug.org (wargame)* Archive Team Warrior* map.vtluug.org](map)
=== Other things to consider ===
* diaspora*
* finger (kerberos-based)
* talkd
 == Migration ===== VTLUUG Site ===* member Setup on sczi via the web pages in vtluugansible role === VTLUUG & Gobblerpedia wiki ===* Backup content using dumpBackup.orgxml script* Setup on sczi via the web ansible role* Restore content to new wiki === Wadsworth/~usernamephenny ===* Use irc3 module instead* Setup on acidburn via the small-services ansible role === VTBash ===* Setup on sczi via the web ansible role === Hokieprivacy ===* Setup on sczi via the web ansible role === Linx ===* Setup on sczi via the web ansible role === Acidburn ===* Migrate homedirs to dirtycow NAS* Implement background tmux irc systemd service (or just tell people to use crontabs @reboot (sounds like u got a problem w/systemd)) === User Accounts ===* Setup on chimera via freeipa-server ansible role* Import LDAP accounts to freeipa === /tank ===* Move main stuff to dirtycow* Clean up a bit
== Issues with current services ==
When (re)implementing services listed above do the following changes. === For all services using a custom systemd script VTLUUG Site ===* Need standard place to put script for organization We're literally proxying a static github page (ivtluug.egithub. some git repoio)** [[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* Templates?
=== Gobblerpedia ===
* Lots of out of date information
* Need Building templates (populate automatically from database) === Wadsworth/phenny ===* Things constantly break, but there's nothing we can really do about this* Migrate to irc3 pythong library for buildings---currently using bloated wikipedia scripts that don't reflect our needsa stable core* automagically add data scraped from webpages Migrate SysV scripts to gobblerpediasystemd 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, eash of which this is why they can't be merged === Hokieprivacy ===* Mobile formatting is very large fucked -- someone should look into the hugo templates and goodfix*Out of date === Linx ===* We Offload storage to NAS* 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 converted to python 3 from python 2 and wordwrap isnmaybe support dynamic server-side content (probably not; use js) === mail ===* Train spamassassin (use corpus)* Sieve doesn't a thingseem to work === gopherspace ===* who tf uses gopher (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 make them more memorable (or both)
