= torproject.org Admins =
The admin team at the Tor project maintains our infrastructure and services.
Within the admin team we have sysadmins and services admins. Distinction within
the two is somewhat blurry, yet the rule of thumb is that our sysadmins do not
maintain every service that we offer. Rather, they maintain the underlying computers
-- make sure they get package updates, make sure they stay on the network, etc.
Then it's up to the service admins to keep their services (onionoo, atlas, blog, etc) working as intended.
For example, "the blog is returning 503 errors" is a service admin thing, i.e. the
blog service is experiencing a problem. Instead, "the blog doesn't ping" is a sysadmin thing.
I.e. the machine running the blog service has an issue.
Other tasks that the sysadmins take on are along the line of "I need this deb
installed" and "there's a firewall rule blocking my packets to that other Tor
machine" and "I need this userid added to that group".
The service admins instead are responsible of things like "the donation machine
is not handling credit cards correctly", "a video on media.torproject.org is
returning 403 because its permissions are set wrong", and "the check.tp.o
webserver crashed".
A list of user facing services and their maintainers can be found at our
[[infrastructure wiki|https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/operations/Infrastructure]].
A list of development machines can be found [[here|https://db.torproject.org/machines.cgi]]
