Greetings fellow HCoop members, After nearly of a year of fighting unix gremlins, I have finally tamed Debian, OpenAFS, Kerberos, and Domtool to bring forth navajos.hcoop.net. A KVM featuring 4 cores of processing power and Debian Squeeze instead of old-oldstable, it should be a welcome upgrade for all.
To break it in I've moved over my web sites (it was surprisingly easy, I wasn't planning to do it!), but there are a still a few rough edges so I'm looking for a few volunteers willing to sit on IRC while we debug things (or: sit in awe as it Just Works (tm)). If you're curious about it working, you can simply add: webAt "navajos" "testsubdomain" with end; to your domtool configuration, which will duplicate your default virtual host on the new server as testsubdomain.$domain. It's currently pretty tricky to move everything over; I have to rewrite the Easy_Domain macro to support just setting a single flag, but I expect that to only take a day. At the time I sent this email, don't expect mod_proxy, outgoing email, or databases to work. After we get navajos shaken down, I'll be using our new automated installer to set up bog, the replacement for mire. I wasn't planning to do that for a few more weeks, but navajos has worked so smoothly that I think it may even get done this or next weekend. After that, there will be an announcment and a voluntary "migration" period (mostly moving any persistent servers over to the new machine, seeing if you still need to run your own apache behind mod_proxy, requesting firewall rules, ...). Additionally, the new server finally restores the firewalling functionality we had before migrating to peer1: <http://wiki.hcoop.net/FirewallRules>. So! Volunteers! In particular, I'm looking for folks using php, cgi in exotic languages, databases, etc. I know a number of members have been itching to upgrade their wordpress installations... -- <captain_krunk> ntk is currently using "telnet fyodor 25" to send email
