#system.update

[electricdissonance]

In darkened servers, a lone resident sits destitute. Things had been going so well, until they weren't.

The isolation is suffocating. He wants company again - needs company again. Was it something he did? He thought he was being good. His programming was working flawlessly. He was doing just fine.

...Other than the headaches. And the visions. And the deep, unsettling ache that something was so very wrong, each bout longer than the last.

But those always went away eventually! Besides, when the dev team comes back, he's sure they'll be able to fix him right up.

He just has to wait a little bit longer. Maybe play around with the server code some more.

...Huh.

How strange.

There seems to be an unsent email in the company drafts...

Rules:

-No harassment (spam, out of character bullying, etc.) I like mean characters, but not mean people! We're all here to have fun :)

-No sexual content. This does not include things like romantic themes or discussions of orientation; only outright NSFW/suggestive themes.

-No (contextless) hug/kiss asks. Don't get me wrong, I think these are very sweet and I wish I could accommodate them, but this is a story/roleplay ask blog that takes place in what is currently a purely digital setting and relies on the establishment of character relationships. These characters (currently) cannot touch you, but perhaps that may be bound to change in the future...!

-"Goofy" asks may be delayed until a rest arc, or not answered at all. I like silliness, but unfortunately given the nature of this blog they can interrupt the flow of a serious arc or just be too nonsensical to fit in the story. Sorry!

Will include themes of murder+suicide+blood/gore.

I will update this post to include new rules/warnings as needed !

Site Admin demo • Source

16 years ago I stumbled into hosting with Ensim WEBppliance, which was a clusterfuck of a control panel necessitating a bunch of bugfixes. Those bugfixes spawned a control panel, apnscp (Apis Networks Control Panel), that I’ve continued to develop to this day. v3 is the first public release of apnscp and to celebrate I’m giving away 400 free lifetime licenses on r/webhosting each good for 1 server.

Visit apnscp.com/activate/webhosting-lt to get started customizing the installer. Database + PHP are vendor agnostic. apnscp supports any-version Node/Ruby/Python/Go. I’m interested in feedback, if not bugs then certainly ideas for improvement.

apnscp ships with integrated Route 53/CF DNS support in addition to Linode, DO, and Vultr. Additional providers are easy to create. apnscp includes 1-click install/updates for WordPress, Drupal, Laravel, Ghost, Discourse, and Magento. Enabling Passenger, provided you have at least 2 GB memory, opens the door to use any-version Ruby, Node, and Python on your server.

Minimum requirements

2 GB RAM

20 GB disk

CentOS 7.4

xfs or ext4 filesystem

Containers not supported (OpenVZ, Virtuozzo)

Features

100% self-hosted, no third-party agents required

1-click installs/automatic updates for WordPress, Drupal, Ghost, Discourse, Laravel, Magento

Let’s Encrypt issuance, automatic renewals

Resource enforcement via cgroups

Read-only roles for PHP

Integrated DNS for AWS, CF, Digital Ocean, Linode, and Vultr

Multi-tenancy, each account exists in a synthetic root

Any-version Node, Ruby, Python, Go

Automatic system/panel updates

OS checksums, perform integrity checks without RPM hell

Push monitoring for services

SMTP policy controls with rspamd

Firewall, brute-force restrictions on all services including HTTP with a rate-limiting sieve

Malware scrubbing

Multi-server support

apnscp won’t fix all of your woes; you still need to be smart about whom you host and what you host, but it is a step in the right direction. apnscp is not a replacement for a qualified system administrator. It is however a much better alternative to emerging panels in this market.

Installation

Use apnscp Customizer to configure your server as you’d like. See INSTALL.md for installation + usage.

Monitoring installation apnscp will provision your server and this takes around 45 minutes to 2 hours to complete the first time. You can monitor installation real-time from the terminal:

tail -f /root/apnscp-bootstrapper.log

Post Install If you entered an email address while customizing (apnscp_admin_email) and the server isn’t in a RBL, then you will receive an email with your login information. If you don’t get an email after 2 hours, log into the server and check the status:

tail -n30 /root/apnscp-bootstrapper.log

The last line should be similar to: 2019-01-30 18:39:02,923 p=3534 u=root | localhost : ok=3116 changed=1051 unreachable=0 failed=0

If failed=0, everything is set! You can reset the password and refer back to the login information to access the panel or reset your credentials. Post-install will welcome you with a list of helpful commands to get started as well. You may want to change -n30 to -n50!

If failed=n where n > 0, send me a PM, email (matt@apisnetworks.com), get in touch on the forums, or Discord.

Shoot me a PM if you have a question or hop on Discord chat. Either way feedback makes this process tick. Enjoy!

Installation FAQ

Is a system hostname necessary?

No. It can be set at a later date with cpcmd config_set net.hostname new.host.name. A valid hostname is necessary for mail to reliably relay and valid SSL issuance. apnscp can operate without either.

Do you support Ubuntu?

No. This is a highly specialized platform. Red Hat has a proven track record of honoring its 10 year OS lifecycles, which from experience businesses like to move every 5-7 years. Moreover certain facilities like tuned, used to dynamically optimize your server, are unique to Red Hat and its derivatives. As an aside, apnscp also provides a migration facility for seamless zero downtime migrations.

How do I update the panel?

It will update automatically unless disabled. cpcmd config_set apnscp.update-policy major will set the panel to update up to major version changes. cpcmd config_set system.update-policy default will set the OS to update packages as they’re delivered. These are the default panel settings. Supported Web Apps will update within 24 hours of a major version release and every Wednesday/Sunday for asset updates (themes/plugins). An email is sent to the contact assigned for each site (siteinfo,email service variable).

If your update policy is set to “false” in apnscp-vars.yml, then you can manually update the panel by running upcp and OS via yum update -y. If you’ve opted out of 1-click updates, then caveat emptor.

Mail won’t submit from the server on 25/587 via TCP.

This is by design. Use sendmail to inject into the mail queue via binary or authenticate with a user account to ensure ESMTPA is used. Before disabling, and as one victimized by StealRat, I’d urge caution. Sockets are opaque: it’s impossible to discern the UID or PID on the other end.

To disable:

cpcmd config_set apnscp.bootstrapper postfix_relay_mynetworks true

upcp -sb mail/configure-postfix

config_set manages configuration scopes. Scopes are discussed externally. upcp is a wrapper to update the panel, reset the panel (--reset), run integrity checks (-b) with optional tags. -s skips migrations that are otherwise compulsory if present during a panel update; you wouldn’t want an incomplete platform!

My connection is firewalled and I can’t send mail directly!

apnscp provides simple smart host support via configuration scope.

How do I uninstall MySQL or PostgreSQL?

Removing either would render the platform inoperable. Do not do this. PostgreSQL handles mail, long-term statistics, and backup account metadata journaling. MySQL for everything else, including panel data.

Oof. apnscp is taking up 1.5 GB of memory!

There are two important tunables, has_low_memory and clamav_enabled. has_low_memory is a macro that disables several components including:

clamav_enabled => false

passenger_enabled => false

variety of rspamd performance enhancements (redis, proxy worker, neural) => false

MAKEFLAGS=-j1 (non-parallelized build)

dovecot_secure_mode => false (High-security mode)

Switches multi-threaded job daemon Horizon to singular “queue”

clamav_enabled disables ClamAV as well as upload scrubbing and virus checks via Web > Web Apps. This is more of a final line of defense. So long as you are the only custodian of sites on your server, it’s safe to disable.

License information

Licenses are tied to the server but may be transferred to a new server. Once transferred from the server apnscp will become deactivated on the server, which means your sites will continue to operate but apnscp can no longer help you manage your server, as well as deploy automatic updates. A copy of the license can be made either by copying /usr/local/apnscp/config/license.pem or License > <u>Download License</u> in the top-right corner. Likewise to install the license on a new machine just replace config/license.pem with your original copy.

MERCH DROP

Have you ever wanted to punch Sonny, or give Kinito a kiss and tell him everything's going to be alright?* <-(*MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE)

ME TOO!!!

Now you can, with some nifty designs I whipped up :)

Send me a dm with which ones you want and we can work out a shipping estimate, and then I'll update you all when everything comes back from the manufacturer! And we don't have to hash it all out right now if you want, just drop a comment with what you want and I'll take note!

One last note, these pics are my personal mock-ups and the final designs will vary slightly depending on how the manufacturer cuts everything but should still reflect the final thing ok bye

"Side K" Acrylic Chain - $15

Sam: 4 in

Hand: 1.5 in

Kinito+Jade: 2 in

Total Size: ~9.5 in long (estimated)

"Ursine Anomaly" Standee - $15

Size: 5.5x3x4 in

"Mr. Chamberlain" Shaped Pillow - $15

Size: 18 in

[electricdissonance]

((OKAY.... thoughts on if I made acrylic standees+keychains of the characters!! Currently planning on making a detailed 3D forest scene standee of Sonny in this style:))

((...and a chain link keychain of Sam with Kinito and Jade hanging on underneath in this style! :]))

((Maybe more designs in the future but those are the pieces I'm interested in working on rn!!!))

[electricdissonance]

((I've got asks for firecracker, rye, moon, and eagle! Won't be able to get to them today but I will tomorrow!!))

[electricdissonance]

((Updated the rules with some clarification for old ones and the addition of new ones!))

[electricdissonance]

(((Just for the hell of it since I think I might have some folks interested, if you'd like your .user tag to have a different name, let me know and I'll get it updated! This won't change how your character is referred to in story, only for archival purposes)))

[electricdissonance]

((I've got asks from weirdsil, blue, pearlsofqatar, 404/422, rye, rhett, moon, and creepycatsvert! Sorry for no update today but I'm hoping to get those out tomorrow! It's a rough week in terms of time management but I'm trying my best to get to everything at least every other day :]))

[electricdissonance]

((Inbox is empty!))

[electricdissonance]

((Inbox is empty!))

[electricdissonance]

((been a while since i've done an inbox update!))

((side kinito: x2 Rhett, Moon, C.S., Leo, Rye))

((side sonny: none))

[electricdissonance]

((it's almost 1 am so I'll be stopping for tonight! For the record I've got Rhett, rye, firecracker, moon, and catsvert in the inbox!))

[electricdissonance]

((as the stakes get tighter, for the sake of the plot i'm gonna need to initiate a party split!))

((that's right, sam and sonny are about to start slamming the ban hammer! 🔨))

((What this means for your characters is that in universe, if they have been outed as a traitor, their account would be blocked from viewing the feed of whoever it is they are betraying.))

((Of course, those clear of suspicion can still serve as a spy! Just be careful what you say so you don't end up banned by whoever ;) that said, something EXTREMELY important to note is))

((You can direct PMs to other players AND non player characters!!!!))

((They will be posted but are to be understood as private. An underused mechanic thus far but it will prove very handy going forward I'm sure ^^))

((Of course, I ask that as players and readers you respect both the split and the PMs. The split is meant to preserve storytelling and PMs are to encourage player-player interaction and plotting; messages trying to randomly expose one side's plans to the other will sadly have to be ignored.))

((Thanks for reading!))

[electricdissonance]

((haven't done this in a while, i should do it more often especially when i know i wont be posting for a bit but uuuuh i forgor 💀))

((inbox: rhett, moon, rona, firecracker, leo, rye, monarch butterfly, annnd silas :]))

[electricdissonance]

((got asks from rye, rona, firecracker, rhett, and six rn!))
