Replacinging Mire

Mire is a crufty old ... mire of a machine. See FritzVirtualization for details on its replacement.

Short term

• Find new admins
• Work out physical access situation
• Get new web services VM online
• Get new member shell / daemon VM online

Long Term

• Spring 2012: Kill mire
• Fall 2012: Kill deleuze
• Winter 2012: Acquire more disk space
• Summer/Fall 2013: Acquire another 8-core monstrosity (KVM server, redundantly serving everything on fritz?)

Neglected tasks

• BackupInfo situation really, really sucks. I'd use stronger language if children weren't around.

• Services need updating to latest versions (lots of config merging and testing):
  • Exim
  • imap (courier authdaemon needs [or needed] a patch to work properly, converting to Dovecot has its own set of difficulties)
  • Mailman (not clear how to have mailman stuff generated on a machine other than the mail delivery node)

Tasks which non-admins can do, too

See HcoopVolunteerTasks for a list of things non-admins can help with.
