Services

This page described the services on freehackers.org, and how to access or use them. Both for casual users and from a sysadmin point of view.

[edit] Services

Whenever you get an account (say, "login") on freehackers.org, you automatically get the following

ssh access with "ssh login@freehackers.org"
Home dirs are located on a RAID-1 array.
A homepage http://www.freehackers.org/~login. You need to create a ~/public_html, and tell me about it, because we use a virtual server for web hosting and this won't appear automatically. Php is available, as well as mod_python. There’s also a Mysql base running, if needed.
A mail account "login@freehackers.org". You can either forward it (you can change your forward in webmail, or in the file ~/.forward), and access it through pop3-ssl (port 6995, Warning : this is not the standard port), imap-ssl, or webmail (https://secure.freehackers.org/horde).
Mail delivery is done through maildrop, so you can configure the file ~/.mailfilter to filter and sort your mail.
To send mail through freehackers.org, you can use the authenticated smtp, from any place in the world, using the same login/password as for login and the default port, 25.
Incoming mail is scanned by spamassassin, which set some header flags, that you can use to filter spam.
I can create mail aliases (other fh mail adresses whose messages are sent to your login)

There’s a low traffic mailing list about fh administration
fh can be either master or slave DNS.
fh can be either primary or secondary MX.
fh hosts web sites using apache virtual hosting.
fh hosts subversion and mercurial repositories(and can do CVS if you really need).
fh hosts mailing lists : to create one, ask here ("create list, once connected").
fh hosts rsync repositories.
