# Service documentation

This documentation covers all services hosted at TPO.

Every service hosted at TPO should have a documentation page, either
in this wiki, or elsewhere (but linked here). Services should ideally
follow this [template](howto/template) to ensure proper documentation.

## Internal services

Those are services managed by TPA directly.

[status]: service/status

The `Auth` column documents whether the service should be audited for
access when a user is retired. If set to "LDAP", it means it should be
revoked to a LDAP group membership change. In the case of "Puppet",
it's because the user might have access through that as well.

It is estimated that, on average, 42% of the documentation above is
complete. This does not include undocumented services, below.

## Non-TPA services

The following table lists services run on torproject
infrastructure. Corresponding onion services are listed on
<https://onion.torproject.org/>.

Service admins are part of tor project sys admins team. For a rough
description of what sys admin and services admin do, please have a
look [here](policy/tpa-rfc-2-support#service-admins).

The Service Admins maintain the following list of Tor Services.

The `Auth` column documents whether the service should be audited for
access when a user is retired. If set to "LDAP", it means it should be
revoked to a LDAP group membership change. In the case of "Puppet",
it's because the user might have access through that as well.

Every service listed here must have some documentation, ideally
following the [documentation template](howto/template). As a courtesy,
TPA allows teams to maintain their documentation in a single page
here. If the documentation needs to expand beyond that, it should be
moved to its own wiki, but still linked here.

There are more (undocumented) services, listed below. Of the 20
services listed above, 6 have an unknown state because the
documentation is external (marked with `?`). Of the remaining 14
services, it is estimated that 38% of the documentation is complete.

## Undocumented service list

WARNING: this is an import of an old Trac wiki page, and no
documentation was found for those services. Ideally, each one of those
services should have a documentation page, either here or in their
team's wiki.
