Retiring hachi -- HURRY LIMITED TIME AVAILABILITY

[Luke-Jr]

The time has come to retire my server, hachi. This currently hosts for the project the AA Beta site, the primary resource repository mirror, the ratings system and website, and all our historic packages. I hope to have all these things migrated off within the next week. I am prepared to supply the development team with a VPS at my expense if necessary. However, either way I do suspect I may need some help with the migration. Any volunteers?

Tank, can some of this perhaps be moved to our Dreamhost account?

[Tank Program]

I think most of it can go on dreamhost no problem. What technologies are we looking at? Things that need shell type access I can run at home. (That's how the servers list is updated.)

[Luke-Jr]

I suspect the only things Dreamhost will give us problems with are ratings and resource uploading. The latter requires setuid PHP script support. Last I checked, Dreamhost was infamous for being insecure in this regard. I am considering setting up a git-based live mirroring system that may come in handy as well...

I would also be willing to offer you devs an account on a debian 4 based dedicated server that I use exclusivly for tron servers. I am not reselling servers on this particular dedicated server and would happily share it with you guys. Just pm me or respond on this thread if your interested. I am only using this server to host my American TheServerPharm servers, nothing else. It has 1gb ram and about 18gb free disk space. I have no plans to use this server for any purpose other than a few more additional tron servers.

[Z-Man]

Oh, totally missed this.

I also still have that VPS thing. It's kind of underused as a game server. It runs latest Debian stable; software side, anything should be possible there. It's on a bandwidth budget, tough (about at least 1500 gigs per month to spare, but still).

[Luke-Jr]

So... bump plz.

[Tank Program]

Sorry for the delay... I'm working on it.

[Luke-Jr]

Literally moving tonight. hachi may disappear in 2 hours or 24... but most likely will NOT be around Sunday.

[Luke-Jr]

So Hachi is gone now. Aabeta is as well, it seems. Is there an IP I can point aabeta.dashjr.org to (probably the best place to change DNS)?

[Luke-Jr]

For a VERY limited time only, if anyone missed something on hachi, it is available at 2002:62b30:2b0:d0ff:fe49:6b31 until I complete a total backup (of my own stuff).

[Z-Man]

I'd totally grab that, but don't have ipv6 anywhere, and there doesn't seem to be a good and fast way to get it (theoretical tunneling support is there, but no other end of the tunnel, and it's 1 AM). Can't you just pull the AABeta and Resource stuff yourself and upload it later to that simamo thing you should now have access to?

[Luke-Jr]

wanif=eth0
lanif=eth1

ipv4="$(/sbin/ifconfig $wanif | sed -r 's/^ *inet addr: *(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}) +.*$/\1/;t;d' | head -n 1)"
ipv6prefix=`echo $ipv4 | awk -F. '{ printf "2002:%02x%02x:%02x%02x", $1, $2, $3, $4 }'`
ipv6subnet=0000
relay6to4=192.88.99.1

ip tunnel add tun6to4 mode sit ttl 64 remote any local $ipv4
ip link set dev tun6to4 up
ip -6 addr add ${ipv6prefix}::1/16 dev tun6to4
ip -6 route add 2000::/3 via ::${relay6to4} dev tun6to4 metric 1
ip -6 addr add ${ipv6prefix}:${ipv6subnet}::1/64 dev $lanif

[Z-Man]

No dice. I don't have a dedicated router PC any more, so I just set wanif to the LAN interface and omitted the last line. That's only to integrate your LAN interface with ipv6 correctly, right?

Then initialise 'ipv4' var to your IPv4 WAN and set the router to DMZ your host... You can keep the last line to provide it back out onto the LAN.

[Z-Man]

Heh, yea, figured that after I went to bed For outgoing connections, DMZing seems to be not necessary, though (NAT works fine). The router box doesn't support specific routing rules depending on the source IP and I already have the machine with the master server and stuff as exposed host, anyway.
However, next problem: my account seems to be gone. I used to be able to ssh in as z-man without password, but that no longer works. And unfortunately, ssh is so far the only application supporting ipv6 that I have installed in a working state. I'll reboot in a bit and check the other system.
Edit: No, I was just being stupid, the web browsers do support ipv6. However, it's not really possible to navigate to the aabeta files that way. Help?
