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.
Munin Stats
There are munin stats for the server available here
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.

Websites
See WordPress.
SSL Certs
The server has a copy of the *.transitionnetwork.org wild card certificate installed and this is used for https://parrot.transitionnetwork.org/
The server also has a dedicated IP address for the https://intransitionmovie.com/ site and SSL certificate.
All the other sites use a free http://cacert.org/ certificate, see ticket:540#comment:1 for a list of domains. To get rid of the security warnings that you will get if you don't have the CAcert root installed you need to install the root cert from http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3 to do this using Windows simply click http://www.cacert.org/certs/CAcert_Root_Certificates.msi and for Firefox and Chrome click https://www.cacert.org/certs/root.crt
