gm thanks

schestowitz-TR

I think some perl modules are needed to get the gemini capsule updating, but have

schestowitz-TR

choked for time due to rss feeds etc

Techrights-sec

yes, I'll make a list

at the moment agate runs sort of interactively from the CLI, I cannot quite recall how it was configured, but at least people get served (got some emails asking about gemini down)

agate was run from a systemd unit file so whatevery CLI options need to be

Techrights-sec

included in that, it should go in /etc/systemd/system/agate.service

Techrights-sec

then systemctl enable agate.service ; systemctl start agate.service

schestowitz-TR

I tried to find that file, but after a while gave up

schestowitz-TR

perl stuff installed

Jan 18 01:38

Jan 18 01:48

Techrights-sec

ok, I can make a new unit file, but what would you like on the CLI? Can you

Jan 18 01:48

Techrights-sec

paste the manual options?

Jan 18 01:48

schestowitz-TR

perl install at 95%

Jan 18 01:49

schestowitz-TR

regarding agate, I can give you the command I ran

Jan 18 01:49

schestowitz-TR

I realised they changed the syntax

Jan 18 01:49

schestowitz

also needs deploying (not rotating things yet) sudo service gemini-tcpdump-logger start

Jan 18 01:50

schestowitz-TR

perl done now

schestowitz-TR

apt-get actually timed out a bit towards the end, I had to rerun it

Techrights-sec

Techrights-sec

the command I ran:: /home/gemini/bin/agate.armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --content /home/gemini/gemini/ --certs /home/gemini/certs/ --hostname gemini.techrights.org --lang en-GB

Jan 18 01:54

Jan 18 01:56

then stop the manually launched agate and try the enable, start, and status

Techrights-sec

cron is not necessary, afaik, systemd recovers if agate were to crash

Techrights-sec

or is that just for the logs?

Techrights-sec

gemini is now available!

schestowitz-TR

I saw it having an issue and gave it a kick

schestowitz-TR

there was a job running as root as a process, writing connections with addresses

Jan 18 02:14

schestowitz-TR

to a daily file under log and I think that's a missing piece

Jan 18 02:14

Probably the wrong settings in the Unit file, it's esoteric and not clearly

Techrights-sec

documented so I had to guess.

schestowitz-TR

schestowitz-TR

was what I ran

Techrights-sec

yes, that part is ok AFIAK the Unit file

Jan 18 02:24

Techrights-sec

has all kinds of weird options and they have to combine just right

Jan 18 02:24

Techrights-sec

try recopying now and the daemon-reload etc

Jan 18 02:24

schestowitz-TR

schestowitz-TR

i think you aced it this time

Techrights-sec

systemctl daemon-reload

Techrights-sec

systemctl restart agate.service

Techrights-sec

I hope so, it's hard to do much more than cargo cult based on other unit files

schestowitz-TR

ibm did TWO articles about buying suppor rt this monday

Jan 18 02:27

schestowitz-TR

in redhat.com

Jan 18 02:27

Techrights-sec

yes the decommoditization of Linux

Jan 18 02:27

schestowitz-TR

let me focus for the next few mins on irc bulletin etc. ipfs follows at 3am

Jan 18 02:28

Failed to restart gemini-tcpdump-logger.service: Unit gemini-tcpdump-logger.service not found.

Jan 18 02:30

Techrights-sec

Techrights-sec

yes the logging does not have a service file yet, but I see in

Techrights-sec

journalctl that there is already logging, it is "just" a matter of processing

Techrights-sec

and extracting

Techrights-sec

journalctl -u agate

Jan 18 02:40

schestowitz-TR

this one is different because it uses another source for the data

Jan 18 02:40

schestowitz-TR

so far the workflow has gone as expected, but let's see ipfs at 3am

schestowitz-TR

gemini is alomost perfect now

schestowitz-TR

just need the refresh cycles and stats, I think, and that's all done

Techrights-sec

ok logs on the way

schestowitz-TR

i see now

schestowitz-TR

tyhe logger we have uses tcpdump

schestowitz-TR

i think it is the latest version

schestowitz-TR

and that accomodates the file we need ro run the script that also updates the sta

schestowitz-TR

ts page, irc scrollback page etc

schestowitz-TR

it also ues the format that lets me see who hoards traffic

I have just installed tcpdumb and so the script, if run manually, runs OK. Is it configured as a daemon too?

Jan 18 10:17

Techrights-sec

I can't recall how that was set up to run. Perhaps a unit file is necessary.

schestowitz-TR

i have just checked wifi device name

schestowitz-TR

the irc scrollback in gemini is now back

schestowitz-TR

but the logger sends no output to the file except start and end

schestowitz-TR

maybe debian 11 changed somethihing

schestowitz-TR

regarding irc, having just solved the ipfs index (html) mystery,

Jan 18 10:39

Techrights-sec

ok I have to check the script, the keys don't work

Jan 18 11:00

Techrights-sec

ok I have to check the script, the keys don't work :

Techrights-sec

the diectory /home/links/ must be in the group links for that to work

Techrights-sec

since o=rx ipfs will be able to pass through down to the relevant subdirectory

Techrights-sec

and write access is not needed (in addition to breaking keys).

Techrights-sec

$ sudo chgrp links /home/links/

Techrights-sec

ok testing

Techrights-sec

ack

schestowitz-TR

I changed that back

schestowitz-TR

short story: I was trying to overwrite an old file, which was not possible

schestowitz-TR

So I was messing with directories instead

schestowitz-TR

that file was the output.txt file

Techrights-sec

the two latest files are in the wrong date format:

Jan 18 11:10

Techrights-sec

should be 220117.html and 220116.html like the others

Jan 18 11:10

schestowitz-TR

I seee

schestowitz

cp $IRCDATE.html /home/links/ipfs/$ISODATE.html

schestowitz-TR

don't woprry about that

schestowitz-TR

it's because I did not follow the script

Techrights-sec

can they be renamed so the script can get them?

Techrights-sec

The input to the script is filtered so that it cannot fetch arbitrary files.

Techrights-sec

only root or xxxxxx can do that

Techrights-sec

or links

schestowitz-TR

yes, hold on

schestowitz-TR

I have renamed the two latest files

schestowitz-TR

the scripts will choose the right date, starting tonight

not buffering, nothing is getting through the pipe to awk or anthing else

it doesn't like bullseye either

the journlctl approach can preserve ip numbers but not resolved names

There is probably a regression in tcpdump in regards to output buffering in
