Techrights-sec2I've added the prerequisite CPAN modules to Alpine, some via the packageJul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2manager (when possible) the remainder via the CPAN module    Jul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2I've created some placeholder accounts; hopefully the group memberships are Jul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2correctJul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2Please try some of the work flow to be sure; I am sure there are still roughJul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2edges with the file system permissions.Jul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2I've adjusted Apache's vhost configuration extensively.  Jul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2I'm wondering how we can split out the scripts and such from the main Git branchJul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2I notice that the TLS certificate is not using the right host name nor a wildcardJul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2I added coreutils so that the 'date' utility will behave as expected in the Jul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2shell scriptsJul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2The only downside to Alpine so far, and its a big one, is the lack of manual pagesJul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2We should turn off password authentication for sshd as soon as convenientJul 23 07:37
Techrights-sec2The CSS still needs a lot of polish Jul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TR0/Jul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TRgmJul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TRwonderful news about CPAN and package managers being able to retrieve all the required depsJul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TRI've grown to like SPAN after Jul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TRSPANJul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TR>CPANJul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TRafter first finding out about it 2 decades ago, it was a little intimidating at first Jul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TRthe syntax, the permissions, the way to invoke the software and specify modules basedJul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TRon their context, how to locate/name themJul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TRtrying account access now, tests..Jul 23 07:37
schestowitz-TRafter attempts to use the new account to access via ssh I realised, seeing /home, that it is not Jul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRa UNIX account on the system and therefore refers to something elseJul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRoh, I seeJul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRweb-endJul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRok, I have attempted to add node via tuxmachines and royJul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRit tries to use /bin/nanoJul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRrather than Jul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TR/usr/bin/nanoJul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRwhich is where 'which' tells me the binary isJul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRI can change this push to git and then pull to server but not yet sure about the workflowJul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRalso, to get to 'roy' (keys and passwords did not work) I su roy from hv->tm-newJul 23 07:53
schestowitz-TRok, git.tuxmachines.org and beta.tuxmachines.org registered nowJul 23 08:14
schestowitz-TRI've pulled from TM git just nowJul 23 08:15
schestowitz-TRdo you want me to mail marius with password for the beta to give feedback?Jul 23 08:15
Techrights-sec2ackJul 23 08:15
Techrights-sec2checkingJul 23 08:15
Techrights-sec2yes please his feedback is important since this is for him alsoJul 23 08:15
schestowitz-TRone quick questionJul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRyour username is aaaaJul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRif that's iuntentional, then we can allow read-only access to git.tuxmachines.org for people to Jul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRcheckout the CMS and maybe replicate it, give back etc.Jul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRunless there is something sensitive in the commit log Jul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRat a later stage, assuming we have gemini.tuxmachines.orgJul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRwe can reuse the code from TR to present TM Git over geminiJul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRit would be one afternoon's workJul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRI've just exited cpanel, but before doing so I added subdomain gemini.tuxmachines.orgJul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRnot that this is a priorityJul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRit would need its own separate dir with files (another format)Jul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRand something like agate on port 1965Jul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRbut at least the server now had 4 aliasesJul 23 08:21
schestowitz-TRgemini, beta, news, and gitJul 23 08:21
Techrights-sec2I'm not sure about how to set up read-only access, Git is complicated that wayJul 23 08:22
Techrights-sec2thanksJul 23 08:22
Techrights-sec2something for later  Jul 23 08:22
Techrights-sec2still fighting with Git on news.tuxmachines.org :(Jul 23 08:22
Techrights-sec2when it works, it is rather good (i.e. useful) but it is hard to useJul 23 08:22
Techrights-sec2and even harder to configure Jul 23 08:22
schestowitz-TRI'\ve just written the output as root history to my homedirJul 23 08:25
schestowitz-TRassuming that might come in handy later when we do the same with TRJul 23 08:25
schestowitz-TRmaybe TR will have the same workflow and CMSJul 23 08:25
schestowitz-TRalongside the existinf stuffJul 23 08:25
schestowitz-TRworkflow consolidation would simplify thingsJul 23 08:25

schestowitz-TRnow it tries to find /usr/bin/tidy Jul 23 08:29
schestowitz-TRthanksJul 23 08:29
schestowitz-TRrecord added :-)Jul 23 08:29
Techrights-sec2ok, the scripts are now available on news... Jul 23 08:29
Techrights-sec2addingJul 23 08:29
Techrights-sec2addedJul 23 08:29
Techrights-sec2I forgot about the binary dependencies :/Jul 23 08:29
Techrights-sec2excellentJul 23 08:29
Techrights-sec2ok test the tm-extract... scriptJul 23 08:29
schestowitz-TRthe -b option is no longer valid Jul 23 08:32
schestowitz-TRI tried without it, as the paths are the sameJul 23 08:32
Techrights-sec2tm-extract-posts-sql.pl -f -v -d $(date -d yesterday "+%Y%m%d") -sJul 23 08:32
Techrights-sec2steps 2 - 5 in the workflow can be rolled into a single script    Jul 23 08:32
schestowitz-TROK, the node shows up OK, I think the genration of front page, rss etc. is still a separate thingJul 23 08:38
schestowitz-TRbut it looks like some time soon rianne and I will add new nodes to both sites at the same timeJul 23 08:38
schestowitz-TRto dry-testmaybe at a later stage let people have a sneak peak, maybe by month's end?Jul 23 08:38
Techrights-sec2 those are separate scripts for nowJul 23 08:44
Techrights-sec2thanksJul 23 08:44
Techrights-sec2there is an obnoxious variant of vi on alpine, I have to figure out what's theJul 23 08:44
Techrights-sec2deal with that and if it can be counteredJul 23 08:44
Techrights-sec2the sqlite3 database is the authority for TM, from it new layouts and pages Jul 23 08:44
Techrights-sec2can be generated, it is also there to force an absolute, rigid structure onJul 23 08:44
Techrights-sec2the data contained withinJul 23 08:44
schestowitz-TRbtw, tuxmachines is not "orginal" "content" but techrgihts isJul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRbut thinking about it, putting pertinent static pages in git would not be a good ideaJul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRas that would not keep sqlite in sync and basically manifest two versions with possibly Jul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRconflicting editsJul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRthe techrights DB grows a lot faster because of Daily Links for the most partJul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRI've just checked db dumps, they are OKJul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRdmesg shows very few xfs-related messagesJul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRbut sometimes some gz files can still 'fail'Jul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRwhen I say "few" I mean, I observed maybe 1 or 2 warnings per dayJul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRhaving that said, after xfs_repair it seems like the issue isn't criticalJul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRfrom the lenses of kaniini, I don't want to bother too muchJul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRseeing that everything generally works, inc. the lion's share of backups,Jul 23 08:47
schestowitz-TRas we transitioned to a more "modern" and robust workflow, systemJul 23 08:47
Techrights-sec2ok but file system problems are very worrysome even if they are "just" warningsJul 23 08:48
schestowitz-TRI agree. I will addJul 23 08:52
schestowitz-TRa) this was recently looked at, fixedJul 23 08:52
schestowitz-TRb) kaniini said from the admin's (hv) end it looks not a big deal, not to say "benign"Jul 23 08:52
schestowitz-TRc) I want to issue a payment soon, don't want to "waste" more time for nowJul 23 08:52
schestowitz-TRnot sure if you noticed, but debian.community will likely be confiscated soonJul 23 08:52

schestowitz-TRthe OS migration task is finally, years late, "in progress"Jul 23 08:53
schestowitz-TRtuxmachines can be a model for techrights later, many of the same commands to be run thereJul 23 08:53
schestowitz-TRas the OS is identicalJul 23 08:53
schestowitz-TRwe can make suibsites, e.g. wiki.techrights.org, with legacy URLs still working Jul 23 08:53
