Penguin
penguin.webarch.net is a new 2GB RAM Xen Debian virtual server which replaced NewLiveServer and DevelopmentServer for running all non-Drupal sites and which went live in early January 2013. Drupal sites from the old servers are being migrated to PuffinServer.
The install and initial configuration of this server was tracked on ticket:470.
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
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 and backports being used, see ticket:470#comment:6 and ticket:470#comment:41 for some notes on this -- the pinning setup could do with some work, but this is non-urgent, the work-around is to manually upgrade some packages, eg:
a-up About to upgrade munin-node/squeeze-backports munin-plugins-extra/squeeze-backports No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. aptitude install munin-node/squeeze-backports munin-plugins-extra/squeeze-backports
Websites
Penguin is running nginx, the work to change all the old apache configuration to nginx configuration was done on ticket:357.

penguin.transitionnetwork.org
This is a splash page which lists what the servers is running and is also served at the server's IP address.
tech.transitionnetwork.org
This trac site is running using trac from debian backports and it is using nginx as a reverse proxy to tracd, to start and stop the server:
sudo -i su - tracd -s /bin/bash cd /web/tech.transitionnetwork.org/bin ./tracd-stop ./tracd-start
