Parrot

parrot.webarch.net is a 1GB RAM Xen Debian Squeeze virtual server running Transition Network WordPress sites. It has the ​Webarch Secure Hosting scripts installed.

This server is due to be upgraded from LennyToSqueeze on ticket:535 in May 2013.

The install and initial configuration of this server was tracked on ticket:537.

Console Access

There is a Xen shell available for console access, see wiki:XenShell.

Updates

All systems updates are recorded on ticket:218.

There is a script in /usr/local/bin called a-up which can be used to update the system via aptitude, the advantage of using this script is that it writes things that are changed to the /root/Changelog and the time spent doing the updates can then be reported via ticket:218, see AptitudeUpdateScript for a copy of a-up and the logchange script it uses to update the Changelog.
