== From Larry ==<br />
<br />
For service enumeration, I am in favor of removing monkeybot and trac.<br />
<br />
I'm not familiar with nginx so we should stick with Apache.<br />
<br />
I'd prefer to use SQLite if possible. One less service to manage.<br />
<br />
For the support lifetime comparisons, the Rocky and Alma distributions do require point release upgrades to stay current until End of Support, just like Ubuntu. Debian looks like they have new versions on a 2 year cycle with support going one year past the new release so the longest we can use one version of Debian is 3 years on average.<br />
<br />
I would prefer Debian even with the short lifecycle. However I'm not very familiar with any linux as server because I'm used to FreeBSD.<br />
<br />
Cloud service: I'm familiar with Linode and DigitalOcean. Their 2GB $12 offerings are identical. The lower level nanode and droplets differ by $1. I think any of those can handle the workload. It might fall on storage or traffic dictating our choice.<br />
<br />
One thing I'd like to try is to configure the server using Ansible. I think it's a good way to semi-automate future testing and installations.<br />

<br />
I'm on board with your comments about monkeybot, trac, and Apache.<br />
<br />
I have no objection in principle to [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:SQLite using SQLite] - I think the limitations listed on that page are not a concern for our use. The instructions linked from that page about converting from MySQL/MariaDB to SQLite are from 2013; not sure if they are still valid or how much trouble it may be to convert. The other potential negative is the extra effort if someone in the future decides to switch back. But I think it's worth testing out.<br />
<br />
About distros, presumably point release upgrades on Rocky and Alma happen with a simple yum or dnf update like they do with "classic" CentOS. My thinking with Debian would be rather than sticking on the stable version for an extended time, to upgrade to the next version when it's available. I am given to understand that such upgrades tend to be smooth on Debian these days, but don't have direct experience.<br />
<br />
FreeBSD would be fine with me, but I don't have experience using it and would need to learn some of the system admin stuff. Presumably the programs involved would be configured the same way, so I could at least be useful there from the start. In a quick search I couldn't find any current info if it's possible to run FreeBSD on Linode or DigitalOcean, can look deeper into this if desired. (The docs about [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorial-series/getting-started-with-freebsd running FreeBSD on DigitalOcean] are from 2015, don't know if it's currently supported. Also, DigitalOcean basically [https://docs.digitalocean.com/support/why-is-smtp-blocked/ forbids running a mail server], which seems to me a no-go.)<br />
<br />
I added [[2024_Server_Migration#System_requirements|info about disk usage]] (currently 22 GB for everything, including the OS) to the base page to allow comparison to [https://www.linode.com/pricing/#compute-shared Linode], [https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/droplets DigitalOcean], or other plans. Currently web logs are kept for about a month, could maybe reduce usage by tweaking, also we've made no attempt to clean up other stuff.<br />
<br />
Likewise I don't have a problem with Ansible or similar, but don't have any experience with it. I would agree that our current way of doing things is very much "pet," not "cattle."<br />

<br />
== Server selection ==<br />
<br />
[https://www.linode.com/pricing?r=30335eb136f2c5f7fa3429dce9f15bea836f81d3 Linode] has been acquired by Akamai and raised their prices. Could potentially downgrade from the $12/mo (2GB RAM) plan to the $5 (1GB RAM "Nanode") plan depending on distro system requirements. Could also consider dropping paid backup service or using something different.<br />
<br />
Other VPS providers can be considered, not sure if they are any cheaper/better.<br />
<br />
== OS selection ==<br />
<br />
CentOS Linux is dead. CentOS Stream is only viable as long as Red Hat/IBM has a business case for it. Can consider other options like pure Debian or Ubuntu LTS.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>This page is to collect information about our current configuration and options for switching to a new server going forward, since CentOS 7 goes end-of-life at 2024-06-30. Please feel free to edit to add missing information or correct errors.<br />
<br />

<br />
[https://www.linode.com/pricing?r=30335eb136f2c5f7fa3429dce9f15bea836f81d3 Linode] has been acquired by Akamai and raised their prices. Could potentially downgrade from the $12/mo (2GB RAM) plan to the $5 (1GB RAM "Nanode") plan depending on distro system requirements. Could also consider dropping paid backup service or using something different.<br />
<br />
Other VPS providers can be considered, not sure if they are any cheaper/better.<br />
<br />
== OS selection ==<br />
<br />
CentOS Linux is dead. CentOS Stream is only viable as long as Red Hat/IBM has a business case for it. Can consider other options like pure Debian or Ubuntu LTS.<br />
<br />
=== Service enumeration ===<br />
<br />
Services that are currently running on the WPLUG Linode server. These should include things that are user-facing only, not infrastructure.<br />
<br />
* E-mail (Postfix)<br />
* Mailing lists (Mailman)<br />
* Wiki (MediaWiki)<br />
* Monkeybot IRC bot (infobot)<br />
** While one of the oldest WPLUG services, since [[IRC|freenode]] is essentially dead, there may not be good reason to keep it alive.<br />
* Ticketing system (Trac)<br />
** This is [https://trac.wplug.org/wplug-internet/report/6 virtually unused], likely not worth deploying.<br />
<br />
Infrastructure software which supports the services above.<br />
<br />
* Web server (Apache) - it would be possible to use Nginx instead, but I (Vance) am not familiar with setting it up<br />
* PHP (Apache mod_php) for MediaWiki - could be replaced with PHP-FPM<br />
* Let's Encrypt for TLS certificate<br />
* Python for Mailman, Let's Encrypt, and Trac<br />
* Perl for Monkeybot<br />
* MariaDB for MediaWiki - may be [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Compatibility#Database possible] to use SQLite or PostgreSQL instead<br />
* Greylisting daemon (Postgrey)<br />
* Fail2ban<br />

<div>WPLUG is the Western Pennsylvania Linux Users Group, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. The official founding of the group is dated to September 26, 1997 at 11:37:08 EDT.<br />
<br />
We are a not-for-profit organization that provides collaboration resources (including [[MailingLists|mailing lists]] and this very wiki), presentations, and [[InstallFest|installfests]], for Linux users of all backgrounds.<br />
<br />

==What is Linux?==<br />
<br />
Linux is a ''kernel'', the core of a computer operating system, created by [[Wikipedia:Linus_Torvalds|Linus Torvalds]]. It is typically packaged as a ''[[Wikipedia:Linux_distribution|distribution]]'', which includes the extra programs necessary to make a computer functional and useful. Since 1991, it has grown from a one-man project which ran on one computer to one with thousands of contributors running on everything from cell phones to million-dollar supercomputers.<br />
<br />
==What are Open Source and Free Software?==<br />
<br />
Open Source and Free Software provide you, the user, with the opportunity to see the source code of the programs you use. You are free to use it, share it with others, and even make changes to it if you wish. While the [http://www.gnu.org/ Free Software] and [http://www.opensource.org/ Open Source] communities differ in their philosophical approach, in practical terms they share nearly identical goals.<br />
<br />
==Resources==<br />

The regular meeting of the Western Pennsylvania Linux Group Board of Directors was held on Tuesday, January 16, 2018 by telephone conference call. The meeting was called to order at 8:14pm.<br />
<br />
The minutes of the August 22, 2017 meeting were approved as distributed.<br />
<br />
=== Reports of Officers ===<br />
<br />
The Chair reported that he has taken possession of the totes containing power cables and Ethernet cables/equipment and will be removing the remaining totes containing WPLUG property from the Wilkins School Community Center over the coming weeks.<br />
<br />
The Director at Large reported that he has received inquiries from recruiters and has made them aware of the wplug-jobs mailing list. However, they do not appear to have followed through and actually posted to the list.<br />
<br />
=== Reports of Committees ===<br />
<br />
The Technology Committee reported that our Linode instance was migrated to a new server to mitigate the Meltdown/Spectre vulnerabilities. Also, one deceased subscriber to our mailing lists was removed at the request of a relative.<br />
<br />
=== New Business ===<br />
<br />
The members present discussed a candidate for the steward position to take custodianship of WPLUG's assets. No specific action was taken.<br />
<br />
It was moved to schedule the next Board of Directors meeting for February 27, 2018 at 7:30pm. The motion was adopted.<br />
<br />
The meeting adjourned at 8:55pm.<br />

== WPLUG Goals ==<br />
<br />
At the October 30, 2006 meeting the acting WPLUG board established a set of five, three and one year goals. We then pared each of these sets of goals to about five different concrete and actionable items. The goal of this plan is that the one year tasks always lead us in the direction of the three year tasks, which are the foundation for the five year tasks. The one year plan should be revisited as needed during the year, with the three and five year plan revisited annually.<br />
<br />
At the [[WPLUGBoard/Meeting-20071119 | November 19, 2007]] board meeting, the board decided to review the goals set one year earlier, and update them as necessary. The previous board's goals can be found at the [[WPLUG Board 2007 Goals]] and [[WPLUG Board 2008 Goals]] pages. A new [[WPLUG Board 2009 Goals]] page is under construction.<br />

== WPLUG Goals ==<br />
<br />
At the October 30, 2006 meeting the acting WPLUG board established a set of five, three and one year goals. We then pared each of these sets of goals to about five different concrete and actionable items. The goal of this plan is that the one year tasks always lead us in the direction of the three year tasks, which are the foundation for the five year tasks. The one year plan should be revisited as needed during the year, with the three and five year plan revisited annually.<br />
<br />
At the [[WPLUGBoard/Meeting-20071119 | November 19, 2007]] board meeting, the board decided to review the goals set one year earlier, and update them as necessary. The previous board's goals can be found at the [[WPLUG Board 2007 Goals]] and [[WPLUG Board 2008 Goals]] pages. A new [[WPLUG Board 2009 Goals]] page is under construction.<br />

== WPLUG Goals ==<br />
<br />
At the October 30, 2006 meeting the acting WPLUG board established a set of five, three and one year goals. We then pared each of these sets of goals to about five different concrete and actionable items. The goal of this plan is that the one year tasks always lead us in the direction of the three year tasks, which are the foundation for the five year tasks. The one year plan should be revisited as needed during the year, with the three and five year plan revisited annually.<br />
<br />
At the [[WPLUGBoard/Meeting-20071119 | November 19, 2007]] board meeting, the board decided to review the goals set one year earlier, and update them as necessary. The previous board's goals can be found at the [[WPLUG Board 2007 Goals]] and [[WPLUG Board 2008 Goals]] pages. A new [[WPLUG Board 2009 Goals]] page is under construction.<br />

== WPLUG Goals ==<br />
<br />
At the October 30, 2006 meeting the acting WPLUG board established a set of five, three and one year goals. We then pared each of these sets of goals to about five different concrete and actionable items. The goal of this plan is that the one year tasks always lead us in the direction of the three year tasks, which are the foundation for the five year tasks. The one year plan should be revisited as needed during the year, with the three and five year plan revisited annually.<br />
<br />
At the [[WPLUGBoard/Meeting-20071119 | November 19, 2007]] board meeting, the board decided to review the goals set one year earlier, and update them as necessary. The previous board's goals can be found at the [[WPLUG Board 2007 Goals]] and [[WPLUG Board 2008 Goals]] pages. A new [[WPLUG Board 2009 Goals]] page is under construction.<br />

<br />
<u>Approval of minutes:</u><br />
<br />
No one requested that the minutes of the previous meeting be read; the minutes were adopted as posted.<br />
<br />
<u>Reports of officers:</u><br />
<br />
''Chair:'' Nothing to report.<br />
<br />
''Vice chair:'' Nothing to report; did mention that he's been getting contacted by an individual requesting that a change be made to a posting in the wplug-erie mailing list archives to change a link in a posted message - the consensus is that no change will be made.<br />
<br />
''Secretary:'' WPLUG currently has 10 members, one due to expire through the end of March, three due to expire in April.<br />
<br />
''Treasurer:'' As of February 28th, the checking account balance is $325.47. There are no transactions pending or on the statement.<br />
<br />
''Director at large:'' Nothing to report.<br />
<br />
<u>Reports of committees:</u><br />
<br />
''Event committee:'' Ted Rodgers has been in contact with Vance to do a presentation on PXE booting, but is still fighting with some of the hardware he's dealing with, so there is no specific date yet. When a date is available, Vance will check with Pat to try to get space at IBM to hold the presentation, and have some time to promote it.<br />
<br />
''Technology committee:'' Nothing to report.<br />
<br />
''Investigating committee:'' Nothing to report.<br />
<br />
''Marketing and Communications committee:'' Nothing to report.<br />
<br />
<u>New business:</u><br />
<br />
Pat offered a motion to remove the requirement that a director of WPLUG be a member of WPLUG (Justin seconded). After debate, the motion was adopted unanimously.<br />
<br />
Vance discussed the finalized WPLUG steward job description, and the list of questions to ask potential candidates, asked if anyone had any further comments or changes. We want to get this published as soon as possible. Vance has a list of places to post the job description, and anyone else can post it elsewhere as well.<br />
<br />
Joe asked if there has been any work to consolidate our physical assets. Vance indicated that no such work has been done to date, and this must occur before the handover to the steward.<br />
<br />
<u>Old business:</u><br />
<br />
None<br />
<br />
The meeting was adjourned @ 8:08pm<br />

<hr />
<div>WPLUG will have a General User Meeting and presentation on Saturday, January 21, 2017 starting at 3:00pm at [[IBM Squirrel Hill]].<br />
<br />
== Schedule for the Day ==<br />
3:00pm - Doors open, set up<br/><br />
3:15pm - Business Meeting starts<br/><br />
3:30pm - Featured presentation<br/><br />
5:00pm - Meeting ends, everyone out.<br />
<br />
== Business Meeting ==<br />
At this meeting, we will vote on the bylaws amendment proposed at the November 19, 2016 meeting. This amendment will have the effect of rescinding the bylaws.<br />
<br />
Votes may be cast by mail or in person at the meeting. Your vote must be received before the polls close to be counted, so show up by 3:15pm to be sure you get to cast yours.<br />
<br />
The ballot for this election has been e-mailed to the membership and [[Media:2017_01_WPLUG_Ballot.pdf | is available as a PDF]] on the wiki. Blank ballots will also be available at the meeting.<br />
<br />
== Speaker/Presentation ==<br />
<br />
'''Speaker:''' Vance Kochenderfer<br />
<br />
'''Topic:''' What Time Is It?<br />
<br />
Timekeeping is often taken for granted on computers, but where does that time come from? This will be an overview of how international time is established and distributed around the world. Although NTP will be discussed, this presentation will be more of a high-level view and not a how-to walkthrough.<br />

<br />
'''Speaker:''' Vance Kochenderfer<br />
<br />

Timekeeping is often taken for granted on computers, but where does that time come from? This will be an overview of how international time is established and distributed around the world. Although NTP will be discussed, this presentation will be more of a high-level view and not a how-to walkthrough.<br />

== WPLUG Goals ==<br />
<br />
At the October 30, 2006 meeting the acting WPLUG board established a set of five, three and one year goals. We then pared each of these sets of goals to about five different concrete and actionable items. The goal of this plan is that the one year tasks always lead us in the direction of the three year tasks, which are the foundation for the five year tasks. The one year plan should be revisited as needed during the year, with the three and five year plan revisited annually.<br />
<br />
At the [[WPLUGBoard/Meeting-20071119 | November 19, 2007]] board meeting, the board decided to review the goals set one year earlier, and update them as necessary. The previous board's goals can be found at the [[WPLUG Board 2007 Goals]] and [[WPLUG Board 2008 Goals]] pages. A new [[WPLUG Board 2009 Goals]] page is under construction.<br />

<div>__NOTOC__<br />
<br />
Once a year, WPLUG conducts an election to determine who will serve on the Board of Directors for the upcoming year. Per section 6.6 of the WPLUG [[ByLaws]], the prior Board of Directors (in office prior to the election) still serves as the WPLUG Board of Directors until the new slate of officers takes office. This checklist is designed to make that process easier and more efficient. This checklist is not a "list of rules", nor is it part of WPLUG's governance - it is simply intended to be a practical guide.<br />
<br />
== When the New Board Takes Office ==<br />
<br />
Section 6.5 of the [[ByLaws]] states that the newly-elected Board takes office either when the election meeting adjourns, or when the slate of officers is announced to the membership, whichever is later. Ideally, all of the newly-elected Board members (or at least a majority of them) will be present at the election meeting. In this case, they can meet privately for a few minutes during the meeting to decide who will occupy which office. While a consensus decision is ideal, a majority vote is all that is necessary. The slate of officers decided on can then be announced at the election meeting. Once the election meeting adjourns, the new Board takes office and the old Board no longer has any power or responsibility (other than turning over records/assets to the new officers in an orderly fashion).<br />
<br />
Should the newly-elected Board not reach/announce a decision during the election meeting, it will need to meet at a later time ("promptly"). This can happen at the next scheduled Board meeting as described below, or at some other time. Once a new slate of officers is decided on by majority vote, it must be announced to the membership. This can happen by e-mail to the wplug-members list, or in person at a membership meeting (GUM). The new Board takes office immediately when the announcement is made.<br />
<br />
== The Transition Meeting ==<br />
<br />
From a practical perspective, the next scheduled Board of Directors meeting following the election has often been used to facilitate the transition from the outgoing Board, to the newly elected Board. (This guide does not address how a transition would be organized if the membership should dissolve the Board pursuant to section 4.6 of the ByLaws, and the outgoing board refuses to cooperate in the transition; this will likely require action by the membership. In the event that this should happen, WPLUG most likely has bigger problems than just how to organize a transition....)<br />
<br />
=== Who Should Attend the Transition Meeting ===<br />
<br />
The transition meeting is, at its core, a regularly-scheduled meeting of the WPLUG Board of Directors. As such, a quorum of the current Board in office must attend in order to conduct any business. Ideally, all members of the old and new Boards should attend to complete the handover.<br />
<br />
=== Where Should The Transition Meeting Be Held? ===<br />
<br />
The venue for the Transition Meeting can be any location suitable for holding a WPLUG Board of Directors meeting. It is desirable that the meeting be held at a venue where wireless or wired Internet access is available, so that the wiki and server can be updated in real time, and e-mails can be sent to the membership, during the meeting. The venue for the Transition Meeting should be specified (as normal) in the meeting notice issued by the Secretary (of the outgoing board).<br />
<br />
== Template Agenda For Transition Meeting ==<br />
<br />
This template was prepared with the idea that the announcement of the new Board (and thus its entry into office) would take place during the Board meeting. Note that if the new Board officers were announced at the election meeting, or sometime before the Board meeting, then the previous Board has left office and would have no formal role during the Board meeting (although they still should be present to complete the handover tasks).<br />
<br />
* Chair (of the outgoing Board) calls the meeting to order.<br />
* Minutes of prior Board of Directors meeting are read and approved.<br />
* Officers of the ouutgoing Board give their final reports.<br />
* The Chair recognizes the members of the incoming Board and gives them the floor to discuss and decide on officer assignments.<br />
* Upon completion of those discussions, members of the incoming Board report their chosen slate of officers to the Chair.<br />
* The Chair (or another outgoing officer) sends a notification to the wplug-members and wplug mailing lists, containing notice of the new board officer assignments.<br />
* The Chair entertains a motion to recess briefly, to allow the new board a few moments to organize themselves. This is the last "official act" of the outgoing board.<br />
* After a brief recess, the meeting is called to order by the newly elected (incoming) Chair; minutes will be kept by the newly elected Secretary.<br />
* Review/confirm [[Committees | committee assignments]].<br />
* Establish Board of Directors meeting schedule for the upcoming year.<br />
* Establish GUM schedule for the upcoming year.<br />
* Incoming Chair, Secretary, and Tresurer take possession of PO Box keys from outgoing officers. Determine if any other keys are needed.<br />
* Officers of incoming Board take possession of WSCC keys and combination to WSCC storage room lock as necessary.<br />
* Incoming Secretary takes possession of membership roster from outgoing Secretary.<br />
* Incoming Treasurer takes possession of WPLUG financial records and checkbook from outgoing Treasurer.<br />
* Determine who will have signature authority on the bank account, and who will have debit cards. (Currently, the Chair and Treasurer have signature authority, and the Treasurer has a debit card. It is not specified by the ByLaws who should have signature authority and/or debit cards, so the incoming board should do what they think makes the most sense.)<br />
<br />
== Other Activities That Could (or Should) Occur During Transition Meeting ==<br />
<br />
If these activities do not occur during the Transition Meeting, they should take place as soon as possible afterwards.<br />
<br />
* Update mailing lists on server (linode.wplug.org) to reflect new officer and committee assignments.<br />
* Update [[Committees]] list on wiki as applicable.<br />
* Update [[WPLUGBoard|Board member list]] on wiki to reflect new officer assignments.<br />
* Update upcoming Board meeting schedule, and upcoming GUM schedule, on wiki.<br />
* Update [[Inventory]] list on wiki to reflect who has which keys.<br />
* Complete [[Media:Wplug-ein-change.pdf|Template EIN Update]] IRS letter.<br />
* Review WPLUG [[Inventory]] of assets and who currently has possession of them.<br />
* Create or reactivate accounts on the server for any Board members who need one.<br />
* Update files in <tt>/home/board/aliases</tt> on server to point to new Board and committee members' e-mail addresses.<br />
<br />
== Other Activities That Will Occur After Transition Meeting ==<br />
<br />
* Put the aforementioned EIN Update letter in an envelope, and mail it to the IRS.<br />
* Outgoing Chair or Treasurer prepares letter to [http://www.fcbanking.com First Commonwealth Bank] listing new signatories for bank account, and sends it to (or hand-delivers it to) First Commonwealth Bank.<br />
* New bank account signatories complete signature cards (most easily done in person at First Commonwealth Bank).<br />
* New debit card holders complete debit card application (most easily done in person at First Commonwealth Bank).<br />
* Treasurer calls First Commonwealth Bank to cancel debit cards issued to individuals no longer on the WPLUG Board.<br />
* Treasurer updates PO Box billing contact information (at Squirrel Hill Post Office).<br />
<br />
== Officer Assignments - Practical Considerations ==<br />
<br />
In addition to the requirements specified in the ByLaws regarding eligibility to hold an office, the following practical concerns should be considered when the incoming board selects it's officer slate:<br />
<br />
* The incoming Chair must have a US Social Security number, and must be willing to disclose that number to the IRS in the aforementioned EIN Update letter. An incoming board member unable or unwilling to do this will not be able to serve as Chair.<br />
* Anyone who will hold signature authority on WPLUG's bank account, or who will be issued a debit card on WPLUG's bank account, must have a US Social Security number, and must be willing to disclose that number to First Commonwealth Bank. Therefore, anyone unable or unwilling to do this will not be able to serve as Treasurer.<br />
<br />
These are regulatory requirements, and there is really no way to get around them.<br />
<br />
Holders of other offices (Vice Chair, Secretary, Director at Large) have no similar requirements.<br />

<br />
'''Speaker:''' Justin Smith<br />
<br />
'''Topic:''' Monitoring with Nagios XI<br />
<br />
Every computing device should (A) run certain software and (B) be configured a certain way. For instance, a mail server should (A) run mail software such as Postfix and (B) have enough CPU power, RAM, and hard disk space to meet users' needs. A '''monitoring server''' watches remote devices to make sure that these conditions are met. <br />
<br />
''Nagios Core'' is an open source program that is widely considered an industry standard for monitoring software because of its age and straightforward design. ''Nagios XI'' is a commercially-supported version of Nagios Core that includes additional features intended for use in enterprise environments.<br />
<br />
This presentation will related experiences implementing Nagios XI in a small business infrastructure at MIM Software, Inc. and go over how you can use Nagios XI to monitor your personal infrastructure as well.<br />
