New CSC Machine

2024-06-11T21:57:11Z

F5tao: Included a hint for the location of where the passwords are stored for convenience.

= Firmware Updates =

Vendors such as Dell provide firmware updates that should be applied before putting new machines into service. Even if the machine's warranty has expired, security updates are still made available.

It is recommended to use the following sequence when updating firmware on the Dell PowerEdge servers ([https://downloads.dell.com/solutions/general-solution-resources/White%20Papers/Recommended%20Workflow%20for%20Performing%20Firmware%20Updates%20on%20PowerEdge%20Servers.pdf]):

# iDRAC
# Lifecycle Controller
# BIOS
# Diagnostics
# OS Driver Pack
# RAID
# NIC
# PSU
# CPLD
# Other update
For consumer grade hardware, go to the motherboard vendor's website and find the way to upgrade the firmware.

= Booting =

* Put the TFTP image in place (if dist-arch pair installed before, you may skip this).
e.g. extract http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz to caffeine:/srv/tftp/oneiric-amd64

* Force network boot in the BIOS. This may be called "Legacy LAN" or other such cryptic things. If this doesn't work, boot from CD or USB instead.

It is preferred to use the "alternate" Ubuntu installer image, based on debian-installer, instead of the Ubiquity installer. This installer supports software RAID and LVM out of the box, and will generally make your life easier. If installing Debian, this is the usual installer, so don't sweat it.

* Most of our newer servers (e.g. PowerEdge R815) need non-free firmware in order to boot. This means that if you are using a new netboot image, it is highly recommended to include the entire non-free firmware bundle in the boot image. See [https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/NetbootFirmware] for more information.
* For office terminals, create a boot USB (via dd, for example) and boot from USB.

= Installing =

== debian-installer ==

At least in expert mode, you can choose a custom mirror (top of the countries list) and give the path for mirror directly. This will make installation super-fast compared to installing from anywhere else.

Please install to LVM volumes, as this is our standard configuration on all machines where possible. It allows more flexible partitioning across available volumes. Since GRUB 2, even /boot may be on LVM; this is the preferred configuration for simplicity, except when legacy partitioning setups make this inconvenient.

You may enable unattended upgrades, but do not enable Canonical's remote management service or any such nonsense. This is mostly a straightforward Debian/Ubuntu install.

= After Installing =

Add the machine's name to ~git/public/hosts.git, and run the ansible playbook (https://git.uwaterloo.ca/csc/playbooks/blob/master/update-hosts.yml) to distribute the updated hosts file to all machines.
== apt ==

Delete/clear the file <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> and paste something like the following into <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources</tt> (replace "bookworm" by the the current Debian stable codename):
<pre>
Types: deb
URIs: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian
Suites: bookworm bookworm-updates bookworm-backports
Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg

Types: deb
URIs: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian-security
Suites: bookworm-security
Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
</pre>

Install the CSC archive signing key:
<pre>
wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/csclub.gpg http://debian.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/csclub.gpg
</pre>

Paste the following into <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/csclub.sources</tt> (or copy from another host):
<pre>
Types: deb
URIs: http://debian.csclub.uwaterloo.ca
Suites: bookworm
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/csclub.gpg
</pre>

In order to make Debian use packages in our repository by default, set our repository to the highest priority. Create <code>/etc/apt/preferences.d/99-csclub</code>: <syntaxhighlight>
Package: *
Pin: origin debian.csclub.uwaterloo.ca
Pin-Priority: 1001
</syntaxhighlight>You should now run <tt>apt-get update</tt> to reflect these changes.

For unattended upgrades in the future, install the <tt>unattended-upgrades</tt> package and copy <tt>/etc/apt/apt.conf</tt> from another host.

== Network ==

Note that debian 11 will use NetworkManager or <code>/etc/interfaces</code> by default if you install a desktop environment, which doesn't seem to do DHCPv6 nicely. For simplicity and consistency across machines, we will use <code>systemd-networkd</code>. First stop and disable NetworkManager:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
systemctl disable --now NetworkManager.service networking.service
apt autoremove NetworkManager
</syntaxhighlight>Then, create a network configuration file at <code>/etc/systemd/network/10-wired.network</code>:<syntaxhighlight>
[Match]
# Check the interface name using `ip a`
Name=enp3s0

[Network]
# DHCP for IPv4 should work just fine
DHCP=ipv4
# IPv6 doesn't seem to work properly. Manually set them here
Address=ALLOCATED_IPv6_ADDRESS
Gateway=IPv6_GATEWAY
</syntaxhighlight>Then start and enable <code>systemd-networkd.service</code>. Also remember to specify the campus DNS at <code>/etc/resolve.conf</code>. You can copy it from another CSC machine.

== Kerberos keys ==

If this is a reinstall of an existing host, copy back the SSH host keys and <tt>/etc/krb5.keytab</tt> from its former incarnation. Otherwise, create a new Kerberos principal and copy the keytab over, as follows (run from the host in question):<syntaxhighlight>
kadmin -p sysadmin/admin # or any other admin principal; the password for this one is the usual root password
addprinc -randkey host/[hostname].csclub.uwaterloo.ca
ktadd host/[hostname].csclub.uwaterloo.ca
</syntaxhighlight>This will generate a new principal (you can skip this step if one already exists) and add it to the local Kerberos keytab.

== Configuration ==

=== General ===
Install packages that we will need:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
apt install krb5-user nfs-common nslcd sudo-ldap
# This package are automatically installed already, but we need to install our version so that NFS can connect to our crappy NetApp server
apt install --reinstall libk5crypto3
</syntaxhighlight>The following config files are needed to work in the CSC environment (examples given below for an office terminal; perhaps refer to another host if preferred).

<tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt><syntaxhighlight>
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

kdc = kdc2.csclub.uwaterloo.ca
admin_server = kadmin.csclub.uwaterloo.ca
}
(rest omitted for brevity, see any CSC machine)
</syntaxhighlight>Notably, <tt>allow_weak_crypto</tt> is currently needed to mount <tt>/users</tt> (/music and <tt>/scratch</tt> is sec=sys and thus will always mount, even when krb5 is down and/or broken). Otherwise, you will get a mysterious "permission denied" error (even though the server claims to have authenticated the mount successfully).

Furthermore, the lines <tt>dns_lookup_kdc</tt> and <tt>dns_lookup_realm</tt> have been added - they are needed to stop the KDC from throwing its arms in the air and giving up if IST's DNS servers ever explode - an event that has happened in the recent past far more often than I'd like it to.

Change all lines in <tt>/etc/pam.d/common-*</tt> to have <tt>minimum_uid=10000</tt> so that Kerberos won't interfere with local users. Note that pam configs are notably different on syscom-only hosts. Look at an existing syscom-only host to see the difference.

Alter <tt>/etc/default/nfs-common</tt> <syntaxhighlight>
# Alter these lines:
NEED_STATD=1
NEED_GSSD=1
# -l for gssd is to allow legacy crypto suites
RPCGSSDOPTS="-v -l"
</syntaxhighlight>to enable <tt>statd</tt>, and more importantly <tt>gssd</tt> (needed for Kerberos NFS mounts). Start <code>rpc-statd.service</code> and <code>rpc-gssd.service</code> manually for now.

Add <tt>/users</tt>, <tt>/music</tt> and <tt>/scratch</tt> to <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> (as appropriate for the machine's role), make their mount points and mount them. Note that <tt>/scratch</tt> are sec=sys whereas <tt>/music</tt> and /users is sec=krb5p (with exceptions granted on a case-by-case basis for servers only, office terminals are always sec=krb5p for security reasons).

To allow single sign-on as <tt>root</tt> (primarily useful for pushing files to all machines simultaneously), put the following in <tt>/root/.k5login</tt>:
sysadmin/admin@CSCLUB.UWATERLOO.CA

Also copy the following files from another CSC host:
* <tt>/etc/ssh/ssh_config</tt> and <tt>/etc/ssh/sshd_config</tt> (for single sign-on)
* <tt>/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts</tt> (to remove hostkey warnings within our network)
* <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> (for host tab completion and emergency name resolution)
* <tt>/etc/resolv.conf</tt> (to use IST's nameservers and search csclub/uwaterloo domains. Only required if you are not using <tt>/etc/network/interfaces</tt> to configure DNS)

=== Audio ===

On an office terminal, copy <tt>/etc/pulse/default.pa</tt> from another office terminal.

If this is to be the machine that actually plays audio (currently <tt>nullsleep</tt>), the setup is slightly more complicated. You'll need to set up MPD and PipeWire to receive connections, and store the PulseAudio cookie in <tt>~audio</tt>, with appropriate permissions so that only the <tt>audio</tt> group can access it. If this is a new audio machine, you'll also need to change <tt>default.pa</tt> on all office terminals to point to it.

=== Password ===
Change the root password to the specified password in the usual place under the termcom user. If it's an office terminal, change the local user's password to the one specified in the usual place.

=== Prevent suspend and hibernation (Office Terminal) ===
Set <code>AllowSuspend</code>, <code>AllowHibernation</code>, <code>AllowSuspendThenHibernate</code> and <code>AllowHybridSleep</code> all to <code>no</code> in <code>/etc/systemd/sleep.conf</code>, and reboot.

== Records ==

You probably already created the host in the University IPAM system beforehand. If not, please do so.

Please also add the host to the [[Machine List]] here on the Wiki.

== Munin (System Monitoring) ==

If the new machine is not a container, you probably want to have it participate in the Munin cluster. Run <tt>apt-get install munin-node</tt> to install the monitoring client, then
edit the file /etc/munin/munin-node.conf. Look for a line that says <tt>allow ^127\.0\.0\.1$</tt> and add the following on a new line immediately below it:
<tt>allow ^129\.97\.134\.51$</tt> (this is the IP address for munin.csclub). Save the file, then <tt>/etc/init.d/munin-node restart</tt> and <tt>update-rc.d munin-node defaults</tt>.

Then, ssh into munin.csclub and edit the file /etc/munin/munin.conf and add the following lines to the end:
<tt>

[NEW-MACHINE-NAME.csclub] 
addr 129.97.134.### 
use_node_name yes</tt>

== Prometheus (System Monitoring) ==

We are currently using Prometheus to monitor our systems. On the new machine, install <tt>prometheus-node-exporter</tt> and <tt>stunnel</tt>.

Change <tt>/etc/default/prometheus-node-exporter</tt> to this:

ARGS="--web.listen-address=localhost:9101"

and start <tt>prometheus-node-exporter.service</tt>.

Then set up stunnel. Create <tt>/etc/stunnel/prometheus-node-exporter.conf</tt> with this content:

setuid = stunnel4
setgid = stunnel4
pid = /var/run/stunnel4/exporter.pid

debug = 7

[prometheus-node-exporter]
accept = 0.0.0.0:9100
connect = 127.0.0.1:9101
CAfile = /etc/stunnel/tls/server.crt
cert = /etc/stunnel/tls/node.crt
key = /etc/stunnel/tls/node.key
verifyPeer = yes

Copy <tt>/etc/stunnel/{node.crt, node.key, server.crt}</tt> from <tt>prometheus:/opt/prometheus/tls</tt> or the same location on other machines.

Finally, start <tt>stunnel4.service</tt>.

If it's a new machine, you'll also need to add it to the list of monitoring at <tt>prometheus:/opt/prometheus/prometheus.yml</tt>. Add it under a suitable label (or create a new label) in 'node_exporter' job.

= New Distribution =

If you're adding a new distribution, there a couple of steps you'll need to take in updating the CSClub Debian repository on [[Machine_List#sodium_benzoate|sodium-benzoate/mirror]].

The steps to add a new Debian release (in the examples, jessie) is as follows, modify as necessary:

=== Step 0: Create a GPG key ===

Use "gpg --gen-key" or something like that. Skip this if you already have one.

=== Step 1: Add to Uploaders ===

The /srv/debian/conf/uploaders file on mirror contains the list of people who can upload. Add your GPG key id to this file. Use "gpg --list-secret-keys" to find out the key ID. You also need to import your key into the mirror's gpg homedir as follows:

gpg --export $KEYID | sudo env GNUPGHOME=/srv/debian/gpg gpg --import

You only need to do this step once.

=== Step 2: Add Distro ===

Add a new section to /srv/debian/conf/distributions:

Origin: CSC
Label: Debian
Codename: '''jessie'''
Architectures: alpha amd64 i386 mips mipsel sparc powerpc armel source
Components: main contrib non-free
Uploaders: uploaders
Update: dell chrome
SignWith: yes
Log: '''jessie'''.log
--changes notifier

And update the '''Allow''' line in /srv/debian/conf/incoming:

Allow: '''jessie>jessie''' oldstable>squeeze stable>wheezy lucid>lucid maverick>maverick oneiric>oneiric precise>precise quantal>quantal

=== Step 3: Update from Sources ===

Run:

sudo env GNUPGHOME=/srv/debian/gpg /srv/debian/bin/rrr-update

If all went well you should see the new distribution listed at http://debian.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/dists/

=== Step 4: CSC Packages ===

Now that we've got our new distribution set up we need to generate our packages and have them uploaded. Namely, ceo and libpam-csc. For libpam-csc:

Get the package:

git clone https://git.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/public/libpam-csc.git
cd libpam-csc

Update change log:

EMAIL=[you]@csclub.uwaterloo.ca NAME="Your Name" dch -i

Update as necessary, i.e:

libpam-csc (1.10'''jessie0''') '''jessie'''; urgency=low

* Packaging for jessie.

-- Your Name <[you]@csclub.uwaterloo.ca> Thu, 10 Oct 2013 22:08:48 -0400

Build! (You may need to install various dependencies, which it will yell at you if you don't have.)

debuild -k'''YOURKEYID'''

Yay, it built now let's upload it to the repo. The build process which create a PACKAGE.changes file in the parent directory (replace PACKAGE with the actual package name).

Copy the dupload file from corn-syrup and dupload:

mv /etc/dupload /etc/dupload.bak
scp corn-syrup:/etc/dupload /etc/dupload
dupload libpam-csc_1.10jessie0_amd64.changes

Finally, log into mirror and type "sudo /srv/debian/bin/rrr-incoming". This is supposed to happen once every few minutes however it is always faster to run it manually.

And you're done. For CEO, see https://git.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/public/pyceo/src/branch/master/PACKAGING.md

Machine List

F5tao: typo (suica->suika)

Most of our machines are in the E7, F7, G7 and H7 racks (as of Jan. 2022) in the MC 3015 server room. There is an additional rack in the DC 3558 machine room on the third floor. Our office terminals are in the CSC office, in MC 3036/3037.

= Web Server =
You are highly encouraged to avoid running anything that's not directly related to your CSC webspace on our web server. We have plenty of general-use machines; please use those instead. You can even edit web pages from any other machine--usually the only reason you'd *need* to be on caffeine is for database access.

== ''caffeine'' ==

Caffeine is the Computer Science Club's web server. It serves websites, databases for websites, and a large amount of other services.

= General-Use Servers =

These machines can be used for (nearly) anything you like (though be polite and remember that these are shared machines). Recall that when you signed the Machine Usage Agreement, you promised not to use these machines to generate profit (so no cryptocurrency mining).

For computationally-intensive jobs (CPU/memory bound) we recommend running on high-fructose-corn-syrup, carbonated-water, sorbitol, mannitol, or corn-syrup, listed in roughly decreasing order of available resources. For low-intensity interactive jobs, such as IRC clients, we recommend running on neotame. '''If you have a long-running computationally intensive job, it's good to nice[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_(Unix)] your process, and possibly let syscom know too.'''

These machines can be used for (nearly) anything you like (though be polite and remember that these are shared machines). Recall that when you signed the Machine Usage Agreement, you promised not to use these machines to generate profit (so no cryptocurrency mining).

For computationally-intensive jobs (CPU/memory bound) we recommend running on high-fructose-corn-syrup, carbonated-water, sorbitol, mannitol, or corn-syrup, listed in roughly decreasing order of available resources. For low-intensity interactive jobs, such as IRC clients, we recommend running on neotame.

Music

2024-02-18T03:40:57Z

F5tao: Changed markdown code snippet to XML

Music is run off <code>powernap</code>, since that's the computer with the speakers attached.

Office staff/termcom/syscom permissions are required to play music in the office.

We also have MPD available, however this method is rarely used after 2022. ''kids these days''

==How to play music==

# Run <code>ssh [watid]@powernap.csclub.uwaterloo.ca</code>
# Run <code>bluetoothctl</code>
# Type <code>pairable on</code> and <code>discoverable on</code> into the console to enable pairing and discovery
# Connect to <code>powernap</code> from your device
# Respond yes to all the prompts on the terminal from <code>powernap</code>
# Type <code>trust [device_mac]</code> to automatically allow audio from your device next time
# You should be able to play audio like a normal audio device now

==MPD Controls==
To view the keybindings of ncmpcpp, press F1 while it's running.
The number keys switch between tabs in it.

*1 is current playlist
*2 is browsing files
*3 is search
*4 is browsing the media library
*5 is browsing saved playlists, etc.

You can add your own ''absolutely legitimately obtained'' music by copying them to <code>/music</code> on powernap. Then type <code>u</code> in ncmpcpp to refresh the database.

==Termcom Info==

*We require https://github.com/hrkfdn/mpdas to get scrobbling working as it "official" last.fm integration was removed from mpd in 2013.

Machine List

2023-04-23T04:29:45Z

F5tao: Turns out bit shifter has the same internals as strombola.

Most of our machines are in the E7, F7, G7 and H7 racks (as of Jan. 2022) in the MC 3015 server room. There is an additional rack in the DC 3558 machine room on the third floor. Our office terminals are in the CSC office, in MC 3036/3037.

= Web Server =
You are highly encouraged to avoid running anything that's not directly related to your CSC webspace on our web server. We have plenty of general-use machines; please use those instead. You can even edit web pages from any other machine--usually the only reason you'd *need* to be on caffeine is for database access.

== ''caffeine'' ==

Caffeine is the Computer Science Club's web server. It serves websites, databases for websites, and a large amount of other services.

==== Specs ====

* currently a virtual machine hosted on phosphoric-acid
** 12 vCPUs
** 32GB of RAM

==== Services ====

* Club and member web sites with [[Apache]]
* [[MySQL]] databases
* [[PostgreSQL]] databases
* [[ceo]] daemon
* mail was migrated to [[#mail|mail]]

= General-Use Servers =

These machines can be used for (nearly) anything you like (though be polite and remember that these are shared machines). Recall that when you signed the Machine Usage Agreement, you promised not to use these machines to generate profit (so no cryptocurrency mining).

For computationally-intensive jobs (CPU/memory bound) we recommend running on high-fructose-corn-syrup, carbonated-water, sorbitol, mannitol, or corn-syrup, listed in roughly decreasing order of available resources. For low-intensity interactive jobs, such as IRC clients, we recommend running on neotame. If you have a long-running computationally intensive job, it's good to nice[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_(Unix)] your process, and possibly let syscom know too.

== ''corn-syrup'' ==

PowerEdge 2950

==== Specs ====

* 2 × Intel Xeon E5405 (2.00 GHz, 4 cores each)

= Progcom Only =
The Programme Committee has access to a VM on corn-syrup called 'progcom'. They have sudo rights in this VM so they may install and run their own software inside it. This VM should only be accessible by members of progcom or syscom.

= Syscom Only =

The following systems may only be accessible to members of the [[Systems Committee]] for a variety of reasons; the most common of which being that some of these machines host [[Kerberos]] authentication services for the CSC.

==''xylitol''==

xylitol is a Dell PowerEdge R815 donated by CSCF. It is primarily a container host for services previously hosted on aspartame and dextrose, including munin, rt, mathnews, auth1, and dns1. It was provisioned with the intent to replace both of those hosts.

*http://www.dell.com/support/home/ca/en/cabsdt1/product-support/servicetag/51TYRG1/configuration

==== Services ====

* Containers: [[#auth2|auth2]]

==== Notes ====

* The network card requires non-free drivers. Be sure to use an installation disc with non-free.

* We have separate IP ranges for cobalamin and its containers because the machine is located in a different building. They are:

** VLAN ID 506 (csc-data1): 129.97.18.16/29; gateway 129.97.18.17; mask 255.255.255.240
** VLAN ID 504 (csc-ipmi): 172.19.5.24/29; gateway 172.19.5.25; mask 255.255.255.248

* For some reason, the keyboard is shit. Try to avoid having to use it. It's doable, but painful. IPMI works now, and then we don't need to bug about physical access so it's better anyway.

F5tao: Moved multiple old/retired office terminals to the decommissioned sectioned

Most of our machines are in the E7, F7, G7 and H7 racks (as of Jan. 2022) in the MC 3015 server room. There is an additional rack in the DC 3558 machine room on the third floor. Our office terminals are in the CSC office, in MC 3036/3037.

= Web Server =
You are highly encouraged to avoid running anything that's not directly related to your CSC webspace on our web server. We have plenty of general-use machines; please use those instead. You can even edit web pages from any other machine--usually the only reason you'd *need* to be on caffeine is for database access.

== ''caffeine'' ==

Caffeine is the Computer Science Club's web server. It serves websites, databases for websites, and a large amount of other services.

==== Specs ====

* currently a virtual machine hosted on phosphoric-acid
** 12 vCPUs
** 32GB of RAM

= General-Use Servers =

These machines can be used for (nearly) anything you like (though be polite and remember that these are shared machines). Recall that when you signed the Machine Usage Agreement, you promised not to use these machines to generate profit (so no cryptocurrency mining).

For computationally-intensive jobs (CPU/memory bound) we recommend running on high-fructose-corn-syrup, carbonated-water, sorbitol, mannitol, or corn-syrup, listed in roughly decreasing order of available resources. For low-intensity interactive jobs, such as IRC clients, we recommend running on neotame. If you have a long-running computationally intensive job, it's good to nice[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_(Unix)] your process, and possibly let syscom know too.

== ''corn-syrup'' ==

*http://www.dell.com/support/home/ca/en/cabsdt1/product-support/servicetag/51TYRG1/configuration

==== Services ====

* Containers: [[#auth2|auth2]]

==== Notes ====

* The network card requires non-free drivers. Be sure to use an installation disc with non-free.

* We have separate IP ranges for cobalamin and its containers because the machine is located in a different building. They are:

** VLAN ID 506 (csc-data1): 129.97.18.16/29; gateway 129.97.18.17; mask 255.255.255.240
** VLAN ID 504 (csc-ipmi): 172.19.5.24/29; gateway 172.19.5.25; mask 255.255.255.248

* For some reason, the keyboard is shit. Try to avoid having to use it. It's doable, but painful. IPMI works now, and then we don't need to bug about physical access so it's better anyway.

aspartame was a taurine clone donated by CSCF. It was once our primary file server, serving as the gateway interface to space on phlogiston. It also used to host the [[#auth1|auth1]] container, which has been temporarily moved to [[#dextrose|dextrose]]. Decomissioned in March 2021 after refusing to boot following a power outage.

==''psilodump''==

psilodump is a NetApp FAS3000 series fileserver donated by CSCF. It, along with its sibling phlogiston, hosted disk shelves exported as iSCSI block devices.

psilodump was plugged into aspartame. It's still installed but inaccessible.

==''phlogiston''==

phlogiston is a NetApp FAS3000 series fileserver donated by CSCF. It, along with its sibling psilodump, hosted disk shelves exported as iSCSI block devices.

phlogiston is turned off and should remain that way. It is misconfigured to have its drives overlap with those owned by psilodump, and if it is turned on, it will likely cause irreparable data loss.

F5tao: Changed CPU on multiple machines from Sandy Bridge to Broadwell

Most of our machines are in the E7, F7, G7 and H7 racks (as of Jan. 2022) in the MC 3015 server room. There is an additional rack in the DC 3558 machine room on the third floor. Our office terminals are in the CSC office, in MC 3036/3037.

= Web Server =
You are highly encouraged to avoid running anything that's not directly related to your CSC webspace on our web server. We have plenty of general-use machines; please use those instead. You can even edit web pages from any other machine--usually the only reason you'd *need* to be on caffeine is for database access.

== ''caffeine'' ==

Caffeine is the Computer Science Club's web server. It serves websites, databases for websites, and a large amount of other services.

= General-Use Servers =

These machines can be used for (nearly) anything you like (though be polite and remember that these are shared machines). Recall that when you signed the Machine Usage Agreement, you promised not to use these machines to generate profit (so no cryptocurrency mining).

For computationally-intensive jobs (CPU/memory bound) we recommend running on high-fructose-corn-syrup, carbonated-water, sorbitol, mannitol, or corn-syrup, listed in roughly decreasing order of available resources. For low-intensity interactive jobs, such as IRC clients, we recommend running on neotame. If you have a long-running computationally intensive job, it's good to nice[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_(Unix)] your process, and possibly let syscom know too.

==== Services ====

* Containers: [[#auth2|auth2]]

==== Notes ====

* The network card requires non-free drivers. Be sure to use an installation disc with non-free.

* We have separate IP ranges for cobalamin and its containers because the machine is located in a different building. They are:

** VLAN ID 506 (csc-data1): 129.97.18.16/29; gateway 129.97.18.17; mask 255.255.255.240
** VLAN ID 504 (csc-ipmi): 172.19.5.24/29; gateway 172.19.5.25; mask 255.255.255.248

* For some reason, the keyboard is shit. Try to avoid having to use it. It's doable, but painful. IPMI works now, and then we don't need to bug about physical access so it's better anyway.

These machines can be used for (nearly) anything you like (though be polite and remember that these are shared machines). Recall that when you signed the Machine Usage Agreement, you promised not to use these machines to generate profit (so no cryptocurrency mining).

For computationally-intensive jobs (CPU/memory bound) we recommend running on high-fructose-corn-syrup, carbonated-water, sorbitol, mannitol, or corn-syrup, listed in roughly decreasing order of available resources. For low-intensity interactive jobs, such as IRC clients, we recommend running on neotame. If you have a long-running computationally intensive job, it's good to nice[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_(Unix)] your process, and possibly let syscom know too.
