| It is a work in progress, so don't expect complete content yet. [[TableOfContents]] '''All sections should be in their own subpage. Example: ["MemberManual/GettingStarted"].''' = Getting started = This entire section is required reading for both old and new members. * How to indicate that you would like to join HCoop. * We use AFS. * It's a bit different than standard UNIX file permissions. Allows for granular control of access, and ability to access your files from any machine that has an AFS/Kerberos client. * We use DomTool. * It is a fairly unique approach to sharing access to a machine. It facilitates DNS, email, and web serving, provided that you have a domain. * Reporting problems. * Report issues with Bugzilla. * Request domains with the portal. * Logging in. * Explain that normal ssh will work fine. * Explain that access to files can expire, and how to renew access with kinit and aklog. Explain "ticket". * How to install AFS/Kerberos clients on your home computer, for easier access. How to make tickets last longer. How to make tickets automatically renew. * Security goals. * Control public access to your files. Your publicly readable files are accessible outside HCoop via AFS (maybe ... need to look into more) * Mention denyhosts. = Using DomTool = * Write to ~/.domtool. Explain how to make public or private. * Explain how to add a domain. In particular, an example, with content then annotated below. Point to relevant DomTool subpage for more. * Explain how to remove a domain. = Copying files = * Using rsync. * Using scp. * Mounting AFS on your local system. = Email delivery = * Domtool part. * {{{~/.public/.forward}}}. * {{{~/.procmail.d/procmailrc}}}. * Virtual mailboxes. * Filtering spam. = Serving Web pages = * Static sites on deleuze. (Note to self: ask Adam C. if people can point domain names at deleuze, and subdomains at mire. I'd like to do that, myself.) * Serving dynamic content on mire. * Accessing read-only site-wide DAV. Also, enabling site-specific DAV so that you can use it for writing. Link to "Using revision control -> DAV and Subversion example", = Using cron = = Running custom daemons = = Using revision control = * Example of sitewide git. We'll keep this even if we decide against managing the domtool stuff with it. * DAV and subversion for a particular site. * Does sitewide Mercurial make sense? |
