hellekin | DocScrutinizer05: Sarava has some puppet repositories that might be helpful https://git.sarava.org/ | 01:25 |

hellekin | DocScrutinizer05: If you can read Portuguese, there's a companion site: https://padrao.sarava.org/ | 01:32 |

DocScrutinizer05 | hellekin: thanks, but no idea what to do with puppet | 15:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sounds like a apache plugin | 15:11 |
hellekin | DocScrutinizer05: it just offers a simple reference to actual configuration | 15:11 |
hellekin | puppet is a configuration tool | 15:11 |
hellekin | configuration management tool. Like Chef or Babushka | 15:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that sounds interesting, though not the topic I need right now. I'm more interested in "which distro to use", "how to set up sshd and accounts", "how to syslog", "notes on NFS", "how to backup", "building a team hierarchy, or `why not everybody is a sysop`", "check your server for vulnerabilities", etc pp | 15:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I have some ideas for most of those topics, but for sure could use some more learning about it | 15:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | thinking about something like "O'Railey - server administration. 1349p." | 15:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sth like this: https://speakerdeck.com/futureshocked/a-linux-server-administration-tutorial-for-beginners - maybe a tad more for experts and preferably a book | 15:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialSysAdmin.html -- dunno, just asking if somebody can recommend something | 15:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ^^^ this one is nonsense mostly, it just has a list of cmds it seems. No *info* at all, like "don't allow password authentication. Change all your accounts to ssh with pubkeys", or "there are 3 tools most commonly used for backup of server clusters: ..." | 15:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | LOL >>Add system swap space for virtual memory paging: | 15:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Swap space may be a swap partition, a swap file or a combination of the two. One should size swap space to be at least twice the size of the computer's RAM. (but less than 2GB)<< KTHNX | 15:37 |
pcercuei | do you guys use udev on the nanonote's OS? | 15:37 |
larsc | no | 15:40 |
larsc | mdev | 15:40 |
pcercuei | I want to start a daemon when a network interface becomes available, but it doesn't seem to be supported by mdev, unfortunately | 15:41 |
larsc | I must admit I have not the slightest clue about these things | 15:45 |
pcercuei | ok | 15:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hellekin: e.g. >>The user id (uid) numbers and the group id (gid) numbers on both systems MUST match to preserve sanity. Check the numbers used in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. Typically this problem is solved by using a single point of authentication. Use NIS or LDAP.<<( http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialSysAdmin.html#MOUNTNFS ) doesn't help me, we don't have in-sync user/group numbers on different servers. I need a | 15:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | tutorial that explains how to handle such special cases. | 15:50 |
hellekin | DocScrutinizer05: the link in Portuguese I sent you cover those topics. Also, https://we.riseup.net/ might have some sysadmin group. I know there is some docs relative to that on riseup | 15:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | thanks :-9 | 15:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :-) | 15:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | btw just in case you're curious: the above mentioned issue with in-sync groups/users for NFS is moot, as long as your users have no more than 16 auxiliary groups, and you're not on friggin ubuntu-12.04+ which enables a idiotic "workaround" by default for NFS | 16:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | we had much fun when updating ubuntu and suddenly all our file permissions didn't work anymore as supposed, on NFS | 16:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | (there's a NFS "option" [actually botch] that makes NFS use passwd/groups of client instead those of server) | 16:05 |
hellekin | hehe | 17:32 |
hellekin | nfs fun | 17:33 |
