Penguin
penguin.webarch.net is a new 2GB RAM virtual server which will replace NewLiveServer and DevelopmentServer for running all non-Drupal sites and is due to go live in early 2013. Drupal sites from the old servers will be migrated to PuffinServer.
The install and initial configuration of this server is being tracked on ticket:470, the oustanding things that need doing:
- Migrate trac
- Check the mysql and php settings
- Sort out munin (or collect)
- Sort out the apt pinning - there are still some problems with this
- Create a default splash page to go at http://penguin.webarch.net/ to list the services on the server, like we have for http://kiwi.webarch.net/ and http://quince.webarch.net/
Updates
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.
Due some packages from dotdeb, backports and wheezy being used there are sometimes packages which need manually updating, see ticket:470#comment:6 for some notes on this.
