Current Projects

This is the list we will work from in addition to service requests.

Some important procedural pages:

• Use the Sysadmin task template if you're starting a new project. Copy and paste the wiki source page and populate the basic fields.
• This is a new way of task processing. It's subject to change.
• You can see our Open Tasks here.
• We will also start filling up the Closed Tasks category.

Please update specific projects at their own page.

• Documentation - a meta-project - please click here to update projects you've worked on but haven't documented yet
• Web logins
• Password management
• Docker and WebODM on Bronte
• Fix shinken server access
• Layout Layout
• Backup in Lilly basement
• Backup on all machines - includes backup.cs.e.e (indiana?)
• Fix Lovelace machines

Some other good projects that have been put on the back-burner and may be well-suited for work over the winter 2018 break:

• Post shutdown
• power map additions and updates - update the power map and get as much of our power data (how much we use, how much we could theoretically be using, etc.) all together
• clean up system variables, e.g. verifying that all our systems have Python 2 as a default not Python 3, using Charlie’s earlier email about cexec as a starting point (in your inbox or the mailing list, search for “A bit of cleaning on the cluster side”)
• install and configure RT
• install and configure bioinformatics software (a focus for Laurence but one that others may want to look at) - includes making sure qsub works on both bronte and pollock
• update our DNS files (and thus our store of reserved IP addresses) based on which machines are currently in use (a good chance to learn DNS, both generally and how we run it here) - cf. Verify Lovelace DNS
• modify file permissions in all user directories in the CS domain such that only the owners of files can read, write, and execute them
