Sysadmin 101 workshop for new relay operators

BSD George shared his proposal of running a sysadmin 101 workshop for new relay operators. We should find:

a) Possible dates (April?)
b) Find a linuxy facilitator
c) Discuss the training outline

Relay Operator - Sysadmin 101

  • who are you?

    • running a relay/bridge
    • want to do it right
  • but ask first: is running a relay on your own the right thing to do?

    • find others to run with, affinity, university, etc
    • start small... a bridge at home/vps
    • if not, donate to the TPO
  • general diversity

    • ideal: 1 op/node (instead..), All OSs (not just linux), all AS (US/EU), bare metal (mostly VPS?)
  • which OS?

    • diversity versus familiarity
    • use the OS you can secure and maintain
  • running a publicly accessible internet service

  • patching/upgrading

  • connectivity: residential v commercial hosting

  • DNS: A records, PTR, resolv.conf

  • logs

  • SSHD: zombies, keys

  • NTPD not rdate or ntpdate

  • single-purpose

  • not multi-user

  • DNS

  • optimizing

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
