| | 3 | PTP maintains one server with Monkey Brains in San Fransicso (gabo.mayfirst.org). |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | It does not have serial console access, instead it uses IPMI for remote access. To secure the IPMI port, there is a small Raspberry Pi (gabito.mayfirst.org) that can securely proxy web traffic to the IPMI port. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | To connect to the remote console, follow these steps: |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | * ssh to `root@gabito.mayfirst.org` |
| | 10 | * start nginx to enable proxying: `systemctl start nginx` |
| | 11 | * go to: https://ipmi.gabo.mayfirst.org/ |
| | 12 | * password is in key ringer (use upper case letters for login) |
| | 13 | * Click Remote Control -> iKVM/HTML5 |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | You can't directly paste into the console, so here is a simple work around for pasting in passwords. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | Type: |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | {{{ |
| | 20 | read -p "Copy password to clipboard then hit any key" && data=$(xclip -o) && printf "Hover mouse over iKVM window and wait 5 seconds.\n" && sleep 5 && xdotool type "$data" |
| | 21 | }}} |
