Eglide
Eglide is a shell server donated by Sandlayth for an independant shell project.
Responsibilities and involvement
- Eglide is an independent shell project free to use
- Nasqueron supports the infrastructure and ITC management
- Wolfplex Hackerspace gives support to users @ Libera Chat #wolfplex (there is also a channel #eglide)
Create an account
What do you need?
- A username
- A SSH key (see PuTTY with SSH key tutorial if you're on Windows) - keep the private part for you, communicate only the public part
Workflow
To create an account, we follow the following workflow:
- You create a task to request an account
- A change is created by your or an ops for our operations repository
- The change is deployed by an ops
Anyone can create the change, while Nasqueron Operations SIG is responsible for approving and deploying commits to Operations repository.
If you want to submit the change yourself
You're welcome to submit a change for our Operations repository following How to contribute code.
Specific notes about how to configure environment can be found at Operations grimoire/Operations repository.
You need to submit a change with just two files to edit:
- rOPS: pillar/core/users.sls: your user account
- rOPS: pillar/core/groups.sls: add yourself in the group
shell(that's the first one)
UID can be picked by running ./utils/next-uid.py or by looking carefully in users.sls the next one available in the 2xxx series (uid in 5xxx are deprecated).
Networking
IP connectivity
IPv4: 51.159.150.221
IPv6: 2001:470:1f13:896:0:c0de:15:11fe
IPv6 is provided by an HE tunnel, our range is 2001:470:1f13:896::/64.
It's possible to reserve an IP for a service, and customize reverse DNS. Also, if we move from one ISP to another, or from one DC to another, this block moves with us while IPv4 will probably change.
Working network configuration state can be found on Devcentral.
