Working on the network

Any members of the group can ask for access to the servers, and with that, the ability to make changes. It's crucial to remember that this is a shared network and any changes you make will affect others. In particular, please don't install updates or restart machines without a good reason and checking on IRC first.

Each piece of hardware will have its own logbook page on the wiki, where you should log significant changes and problems.

Some servers, such as Babbage, run services written for the space, typically running in a screen session. The code for these can be found on Github.
