- | ===== Basic platform info ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The new waffle.tech (read in the same voice as New Coke) is a single physical machine with dual 4-core Xeons (with HT), 128 GB RAM, 1TB of moderate performance (for SSDs) solid-state storage mirrored for redundancy, and 4TB of spinning platter storage also mirrored for redundancy. It is located in a shared rack in a mid-tier data center in Las Vegas, NV. The internet connection is very fast but is capped at tens of TB of transfer per month. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The basic platform is the open-source enterprise virtualization engine Proxmox. Most virtual machines run CentOS 8, but login.waffle.tech runs Fedora Server 32 to offer more recent versions. Access control is centralized by FreeIPA and, soon, Keycloak for SAML and oauth. All virtual machines share an internal network in reserved IP space, and the VM host forwards connections on many ports to various VMs. Some VMs (such as login) have an additional network interface which is directly on the internet with a public IP. | + | |

- | * Website auth (this website) is not against LDAP yet, due to some configuration issues. | + | |
- | * The mail server has occasionally been very slow due to filesystem performance issues. This seems to be fixed but I'm not counting my chicks yet. | + | |
- | * The Kubernetes environment needs some polish so that it's more usable - e.g. a way of distributing keys for kubectl. | + |
