New shell server beta testing
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2018 10:58 am
Hello!
So we've been working on a new shell server. Try it here:
sh.sonic.net
Fingerprint:
MD5:44:ef:ed:17:07:d1:a9:83aa:43:a3:00:77:60:7e
SHA256:2v/NEm+2VjOi7WV/W/BV42TG5D8rBYrHELsCVyEbciA
If you have shell access on Bolt, you should be able to log in to sh.sonic.net, the address of the new shell server. Both password and ssh public key logins should work -- so if you have a public key in your Bolt ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, it should also work on sh.sonic.net .
This is a beta test of a work in progress -- please, any and all feedback is very much appreciated.
A few caveats:
We would really like to redo the backend for our mail spools, and in order to do that, the format may be changing. Because of this, the unified interface to mail from sh.sonic.net is secure imap.
Pine is replaced with alpine. For help setting up alpine with imap, run the command "alpine_help.sh".
For mutt, you can either run imutt.sh -- or, alternately, run mutt_help.sh and follow the instructions there.
This is a bit of an experiment, where we are using sshfs mounts for home directories and web directories, all in a chrooted environment. Cron jobs should still work, as they automatically fire off one's chrooted environment.
Please give it a try and tell us what you think!
Thanks,
-Scott
