Osgeo6 is a Debian machine administered by SAC, hosted on OSU OSL servers since August 2015 (see also Hardware plan 2014).

It hosts several critical resources, projects web sites mail-transport and -lists, it is the successor of the ProjectsVM amd the MailVM.

The host is reachable by ssh at osgeo6.osgeo.osuosl.org.

Shell access

Anyone in the https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_shell.py has ssh access, and anyone in this group can add new people via the link. Sudo access can be provided by existing sudoer's by adding folks to the sudoers group in /etc/group, though it is normal practice to try and only extend sudo access to one user per project.

It is a shared environment and it is important that folks making changes on the system be aware of the impact they might have on other hosted services. Apache changes should be made carefully and needfully. Think about security!

See SAC#Communication in case of troubles or quick questions

Backup strategy

As of Feb 2017 backup is performed by bacula, with the BackupOg6 job, which includes the whole /var/www, /etc, /osgeo, /var/lib/mysql and more files (see SAC:Backups for info about figuring out more).

A dump of each mysql database is also stored as a separate file under /osgeo (created during the backup phase).
