Simple project server, emphasis on availability and uptime.
Most likely, this server will continue operating for several years, even as newer and better servers supplant it.
Login
On any unix terminal emulator, enter the command:
ssh <userName>@HacDC-shared-m335-1.hacdc.org
On other platforms, try applications like PuTTY with similar settings.
CommandReference
Routinely important commands unique to this server documented as follows.
Users
List
List OpenVZ VMs created for you.
cat ~/hovzList
Startup
sudo /usr/sbin/vzctl start <name>
Shutdown
sudo /usr/sbin/vzctl stop <name>
Console
Opens command line of running VM <name> .
sudo /usr/sbin/vzctl enter <name>
Root (Admin)
hostedOpenVZ
- ./hovzNewUser <userName> # Creates user account with default OpenVZ VM and permissions.
- ./hovzDelUser <userName> # Deletes user account, associated VMs, and associated OpenVZ permissions.
- ./hovzNewVM <userName> <VM_Number> <dist> # Creates VM accessible to non-root user <userName> .
Autostart
Through normal reboots, host will suspend/resume any guest VMs.
iptables
Investigation
- iptables -t nat -L -n -v #Lists port forwarding rules.
- iptables -t nat -F #Deletes port forwarding rules.
- iptables -D PREROUTING 1 #Deletes port forwarding rule.
Forwarding
Specific
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 20283 -j DNAT --to 10.174.10.5:22
Persistent
Package iptables-persistent has been installed. Upon installation, existing iptables rules were saved. Edit /etc/iptables/rules.v4 .
ReInstall
- Install OpenVZ, documented at http://openvz.org/Installation_on_Debian .
- Install hostedOpenVZ, documented at https://github.com/mirage335/hostedOpenVZ .
- Change default kernel in /etc/default/grub.cfg .
- Apply "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" .
Characteristics
- CPU - E2200 Dual-Core 2.2GHz
- RAM - 1GB
- HDD - 500GB
- Hostname - HacDC-shared-m335-1
- FQDN - HacDC-shared-m335-1.hacdc.org
Redundancy (RAID)
None yet, keep backups. Nonetheless, hard disk is kept cool, so the server should have a long life ahead of it.
Policies
Permissions
Root
HacDC members with a demonstrable need or willingness to manage non-root users may be given root access. Imperative that root users do not jeopardize uptime.
Shell
All HacDC members are welcome to non-root shell accounts, directly provided by the server, and used to manage OpenVZ VMs.
OpenVZ
All HacDC members are welcome to OpenVZ Virtual Machines. Resources, including CPU, disk space, and external network ports, will be allocated on an as-needed first-come-first-serve basis.
Root users, please use the provided hostedOpenVZ scripts. Following the naming conventions set therein helps account for which resources belong to whom.
Notifications
Internal server email will notify users, if feasible, on the following schedules, subject to change.
- Three days before planned downtime exceeding one hour.
- One week before planned permanent downtime (obsolescence).
Removal
- Three months before removal of ex-member accounts. Exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
DataLoss
- Users should regularly backup critical data offiste.
- Onsite data storage is not guaranteed to be reliable.
- All server data may be deleted after obsolescence.
- Removed accounts may be deleted immediately and permanently upon deactivation.
Privacy
Machine is physically accessible to all keyholding HacDC members. Although HacDC members are generally responsible, privacy should not be expected.
AcceptableUse
Sharing
Sharing of account resources is permitted, however, additional resources will be allocated according to individual member needs for specific purposes. As a reminder, compromised accounts will be immediately removed as discovered.
Bandwidth
Hard bandwidth limits have not been set to ease administration of local file servers. However, please configure applications to limit maximum bandwidth use where possible, particularly for web servers.

Special Services
Funtoo
Funtoo (enhanced Gentoo) build server is available, with binary packages and weekly full-os tarballs for new installations.
After obtaining the password for remote access, upload a key and set PORTAGE_BINHOST="ssh://[email protected]:<port>/opt/mirage335OS-x64/usr/portage/packages" .
ssh-copy-id -i "./key.pub [email protected] -p <port>
This also provides access to regularly generated tarball images for re/installation of a fresh OS.
