Infrastructure/VM cluster
Open Food Facts uses a cluster to host different virtual machines (VM).
The cluster is made of 4 physical machines: ovh1, ovh2, ovh3, ovh4.
Usage guidelines (to be completed)
Here is a few guides to follow for all new virtual machines:
- MUST: no direct root access without SSH key
- MUST: indirect root access with sudo, only with SSH connexion
- SHOULD: use SSH keys published on Github: giving access to a server is then simple and secure:
curl https://github.com/CharlesNepote.keys | tee -a /home/charles/.ssh/authorized_keys
- SHOULD: take care of production resources: use "nice" for scripts manually launched. Stéphane's tip: just use
nice ./mycommand -arg1 foo -arg2 bar
(nice default to lower the priority).
