Members is the Digital Ocean droplet hosting members.somakeit.org.uk.

Configuration

Members is configured to run the members areas software called HMS (https://github.com/NottingHack/hms2). The software and its deployment is largley maintained for us by its creator (we still handle package updates and simlar tasks).

Ansible

An ansible playbook to configure the server can be found on github https://github.com/somakeit/members_ansible_config (currently only visible to org members), this is fairly up to date but may not contain changes since the last time the config stored here was checked (this can be done by running the playbook with --check) in most cases the files on the server should be considered the correct configuration should they differ from ansible. The ansible-vault password used to encrypt the server secrets in this repo is stored with the trustees and with the members who manage the server.

Original Setup notes

These are the instalation steps taken to set members up when Scorpia @ Bracken replaced the much more expensive droplet. These will not include any changes since the oringal install

Access to the server

There are accounts for a few members on the machine which are the main way to access the server. There is also a trustees account for which they have the password should other users be unavaliable.
