ULYSSIS public IRC

2020-10-13T16:15:49Z

Joachim:

ULYSSIS hosts its own IRC network. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat IRC on wikipedia]. It is a chat protocol that mainly focuses on group chat, but also allows for private chat.

If you have an urgent question, IRC is often the quickest way to contact us. But also if you don't have a question and just want to hang out in our chat, feel free to join!

==Web IRC client==
If you won't regularly use our IRC or if you just want to check it out, you can use our web IRC client. You can find it at [https://webirc.ulyssis.org/ webirc.ulyssis.org].

==IRC network details==

Below are specific instructions for some clients, but if you are already familiar with IRC, here are the details you need to connect to our server. We highly recommend using SSL.

Server: irc.ulyssis.org
Port: 6668 (SSL)
Channel: #ulyssis

If <code>irc.ulyssis.org</code> is down, you can also try the other server in the same network, hosted at <code>irc2.ulyssis.org</code>. Both are connected to each other and you can use them interchangeably. It is advised to add it as a fallback in your IRC client.

==IRC clients==
To use IRC, you'll need an IRC client. We advise the terminal based [https://irssi.org/ irssi] or [https://weechat.org/ weechat] for Linux and [https://hexchat.github.io/ hexchat] or [https://www.mirc.com/ mIRC] for Windows, but there are a lot of other free options.

You can only receive messages over IRC while you're connected. Therefore, we advise you to run irssi or weechat in either a screen or a tmux session. With a ULYSSIS account, you can run screen or tmux on our shellservers, as they keep running 24/7 you can use them to keep track of your conversations.
Screen and tmux are similar programs. Screen has been around for longer and is more tested, while tmux is more modern with new features and being easier to use for beginners.

===Using irssi on our shell servers===
====Connect to the shellserver====
Use the ssh command in your Linux or OS X terminal, or use PuTTY to connect on windows.
Extensive information on how to do so can be found on [[Accessing shell servers over SSH]].

====Start irssi in a screen====
*When on the shellserver, enter <code>screen -U</code> to start a screen session, or <code>tmux</code> to start a tmux session.
*Enter <code>irssi</code> to start irssi
*Connect to the IRC server: <code>/server -ssl irc.ulyssis.org 6668</code>
*Connect to the public channel: <code>/join #ulyssis</code>

====Screen usage====
*To exit the screen: press Ctrl-A and press D ('detach') to return to the shellserver.
*To reconnect: enter <code>screen -r</code> or <code>screen -DR</code> (the latter will create a new screen if it wasn't already made).

====Tmux usage====
*To exit the tmux session: press Ctrl-B and press D ('detach') to return to the shellserver.
*To reconnect: enter <code>tmux attach</code>

====Help, I can't reconnect to my session!====
*Check if you are on the right shell server and didn't make a typing error.
*If everything is correct, your screen may have been stopped by a crash or a reboot of our shellserver. You can check the [http://status.ulyssis.org status] section of our website for more information about possible downtimes.
*Make sure you use the right program (<code>screen</code> if you started a screen session and <code>tmux</code> if you started a tmux session)

==Using ZNC==
Alternatively, if you don't like using terminal-based clients, or just want to run your client locally, you can connect with our [https://znc.ulyssis.org/ ZNC server]. However, to use it, you'll need a ULYSSIS account. ZNC connects to our IRC server in your place (fill in the details at the beginning of this article). You can then connect to ZNC with a client of your choice, and it will send you the history you've missed while you were offline.

Log in to our ZNC server. In your settings, create a new network. Fill in the basic details (server name, nickname, set <code>BindHost</code> to <code>0.0.0.0</code>). In the server field, fill in <code>irc.ulyssis.org +6668</code>. Add <code>#ulyssis</code> as a channel. You may want to increase the buffer count. Then save at the bottom of the page.

In your IRC client, connect to the server <code>znc.ulyssis.org</code> on port 6666 (with SSL) and set <code>username/network:password</code> as password to the server. Replace <code>username</code> with your ULYSSIS username, <code>network</code> with the name of the network in your znc settings, and <code>password</code> with your ULYSSIS password.

==Using Bitlbee==

With [https://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/news.r.html Bitlbee], you can connect to other services as if they were an IRC server. It is available at <code>bitlbee.ulyssis.org</code> on ports 7000 and 7001 (SSL). For documentation on how to use Bitlbee, we refer to the manual on its website. This service is only reachable from within the ULYSSIS and KU Leuven networks.

Setting up Joomla

2017-03-19T11:23:51Z

Joachim: /* Installing Joomla on our servers is definitely easy */

==Installing Joomla on our servers is definitely easy==

Installing Joomla on our servers is definitely easy.

You download the install components from the http://joomla.org joomla-site.

Here you get a compressed file (.zip) which you have to extract..

You get a folder with files, those files (so no the folder) you copy via filezilla or an other ftp programme to your www-map on your shellaccount.

Afterwards you go to your account, I.E username.ulyssis.be, here you get a notification telling you your MySQL database needs to be configured. The fist part is the "main configuration" which will be individual for every user.

Afterwards click on ''Next'' which will prompt you for your database credentials & information:

*'''Databasetype: ''' Select ''MySQL'' from the dropdown.
*'''Hostname: ''' this is the location of the database server, use <code>mysql.ulyssis.org</code>.
*'''Username: ''' this is the name you gave during the creation of your mysql account, often this is the same as your username with ULYSSIS.
*'''password: ''' the password hat you gave during the creation of your mysql account
* You don't change the last two fields

When you're done click on “Next” twice since ftp is already configured. Here you can see the last few details.

Afterwards the install will run by its own and that's it, you have succesfully installed Joomla.

==Setting up multiple instances of Joomla==

If you want to have multiple instances of a Joomla site then you the create a new folder in your homedir from your shell account. You need a new virtual host, you can send us an [mailto:ulyssis@ulyssis.org email] and we will create one for you.

After your new virtual host is ready, you need to do all the same steps as for a regular Joomla installation.

Another option is to use the Joomla [https://docs.joomla.org/Multiple_Domains_and_Web_Sites_in_a_single_Joomla!_installation multisite] option.

Accessing your files

2016-04-27T23:52:18Z

Joachim: /* Mac */

Next to running commands, you can also use the shell servers to access your files. There are several methods to do this, some graphical, some not. The former definitely are the easiest option to go for.

On the server, your files are located in <code>/home/group/username/</code>. For a normal user with username <code>username/</code> this will be <code>/home/user/username/</code>, for an organisation with username <code>organisation/</code> this will be <code>/home/org/organisation/</code> etc.

==Graphical methods==

===Linux===

Linux normally gives you the option to connect to a server graphically. On Ubuntu, in "Files", choose "Connect to server." using the following options:
<ul>
<li>Server Address: sftp://ssh1.ulyssis.org or sftp://ssh2.ulyssis.org</li>
</ul>

If you are connecting for the first time, you will need to accept the identity of the server.
Enter your username and password and connect, if necessary, unlock your keyring by entering your computer's password.

This will open up a file browser connected to the remote server. Here, you can create new files, delete files, upload files (by copying or dragging them in the file browser), download files (by copying or dragging them from the file browser), change file rights etc.

If your distribution does not contain an option to connect to a server, you can use [https://filezilla-project.org/ FileZilla], which is completely free. See the instructions under [[Accessing_your_files#Windows|Windows]].

[[File:UbuntuConnectToServer.png]]

===Windows===

Windows doesn't support native remote file browsers, so you will have to download a program first. A good option is [https://filezilla-project.org/ FileZilla], which is completely free. Download it, install it and run it.

==== Using the quickconnect bar ====
<ul>
<li>Host: sftp://ssh1.ulyssis.org or sftp://ssh2.ulyssis.org</li>
<li>Username: your username</li>
<li>Password: your password</li>
<li>Port: 22 (you can leave this blank)</li>
<li>Connect to ULYSSIS by clicking on Quickconnect</li>
</ul>
[[File:FileZillaQuickconnect.png]]

==== Using the site manager ====
<ul>
<li>Go to Files, Site Manager...</li>
<li>Add a new site</li>
<li>Host: ssh1.ulyssis.org or ssh2.ulyssis.org</li>
<li>Port: 22 (you can leave this blank)</li>
<li>Protocol (dropdown menu): SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol</li>
<li>Logon Type (dropdown menu): Normal
<li>User: your username</li>
<li>Password: your password</li>
</ul>
[[File:FileZillaSiteManager.png|Right]]

===Mac===

Download the free and open source program [http://cyberduck.ch/ Cyberduck]

Follow the installations instructions and afterwards open Cyberduck in your Applications folder.

Click on 'Open Connection' in the left top corner.

<ul>
<li>Dropdown menu: SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)</li>
<li>Server: ssh1.ulyssis.org or ssh2.ulyssis.org</li>
<li>Port: you can leave the default value</li>
<li>Username: your username</li>
<li>Password: your password</li>
</ul>

[[File:maccyberduck3.png]]

Click on 'Connect' and you're done.

By dragging and dropping you can manipulate files from and to your Mac.

If you want to connect again later on, you can just click the Bookmarks icon on the top left.
Next you click on History.
And then you can double click to re-open the connection.

==Non-graphical methods==

You can also use a terminal (on Linux) or Putty (on Windows) to access your files. Connect to the server as described above, and use commands as <code>cd</code>, <code>ls</code>, <code>mkdir</code>, <code>rm</code>, <code>nano</code> or <code>chmod</code> to manage your files.
You can also use <code>scp</code> (secure copy) to copy files from and to the servers (don't use <code>ssh</code> first). For example, to copy a file called <code>file.txt</code> to your home dir on the server, use (with <code>username</code> your username and <code>/home/user/username</code> your home dir as described above):

<code>scp file.txt username@ssh1.ulyssis.org:/home/user/username
</code>

Click on 'Connect' and you're done.
By dragging and dropping you can manipulate files from and to your Mac.

If you want to connect again later on, you can just click the Bookmarks icon on the top left.
Next you click on History. And then you can double click to re-open the connection.

==Non-graphical methods==

You can also use a terminal (on Linux) or Putty (on Windows) to access your files. Connect to the server as described above, and use commands as <code>cd</code>, <code>ls</code>, <code>mkdir</code>, <code>rm</code>, <code>nano</code> or <code>chmod</code> to manage your files.
You can also use <code>scp</code> (secure copy) to copy files from and to the servers (don't use <code>ssh</code> first). For example, to copy a file called <code>file.txt</code> to your home dir on the server, use (with <code>username</code> your username and <code>/home/user/username</code> your home dir as described above):

<code>scp file.txt username@ssh1.ulyssis.org:/home/user/username
</code>

Accessing your files

Joachim: /* Mac */

Next to running commands, you can also use the shell servers to access your files. There are several methods to do this, some graphical, some not. The former definitely are the easiest option to go for.

On the server, your files are located in <code>/home/group/username/</code>. For a normal user with username <code>username/</code> this will be <code>/home/user/username/</code>, for an organisation with username <code>organisation/</code> this will be <code>/home/org/organisation/</code> etc.

==Graphical methods==

===Linux===

Linux normally gives you the option to connect to a server graphically. On Ubuntu, in "Files", choose "Connect to server." using the following options:
<ul>
<li>Server Address: sftp://ssh1.ulyssis.org or sftp://ssh2.ulyssis.org</li>
</ul>

If you are connecting for the first time, you will need to accept the identity of the server.
Enter your username and password and connect, if necessary, unlock your keyring by entering your computer's password.

This will open up a file browser connected to the remote server. Here, you can create new files, delete files, upload files (by copying or dragging them in the file browser), download files (by copying or dragging them from the file browser), change file rights etc.

If your distribution does not contain an option to connect to a server, you can use [https://filezilla-project.org/ FileZilla], which is completely free. See the instructions under [[Accessing_your_files#Windows|Windows]].

Click on 'Connect' and you're done.
By dragging and dropping you can manipulate files from and to your Mac.

If you want to connect again later on, you can just click the Bookmarks icon on the top left.
Next you click on History. And then you can double click to re-open the connection.

==Non-graphical methods==

You can also use a terminal (on Linux) or Putty (on Windows) to access your files. Connect to the server as described above, and use commands as <code>cd</code>, <code>ls</code>, <code>mkdir</code>, <code>rm</code>, <code>nano</code> or <code>chmod</code> to manage your files.
You can also use <code>scp</code> (secure copy) to copy files from and to the servers (don't use <code>ssh</code> first). For example, to copy a file called <code>file.txt</code> to your home dir on the server, use (with <code>username</code> your username and <code>/home/user/username</code> your home dir as described above):

<code>scp file.txt username@ssh1.ulyssis.org:/home/user/username
</code>

Accessing your files

2016-04-16T09:40:36Z

Joachim: /* Mac */

Next to running commands, you can also use the shell servers to access your files. There are several methods to do this, some graphical, some not. The former definitely are the easiest option to go for.

On the server, your files are located in <code>/home/group/username/</code>. For a normal user with username <code>username/</code> this will be <code>/home/user/username/</code>, for an organisation with username <code>organisation/</code> this will be <code>/home/org/organisation/</code> etc.

==Graphical methods==

===Linux===

Linux normally gives you the option to connect to a server graphically. On Ubuntu, in "Files", choose "Connect to server." using the following options:
<ul>
<li>Server Address: sftp://ssh1.ulyssis.org or sftp://ssh2.ulyssis.org</li>
</ul>

If you are connecting for the first time, you will need to accept the identity of the server.
Enter your username and password and connect, if necessary, unlock your keyring by entering your computer's password.

This will open up a file browser connected to the remote server. Here, you can create new files, delete files, upload files (by copying or dragging them in the file browser), download files (by copying or dragging them from the file browser), change file rights etc.

===Windows===

Windows doesn't support native remote file browsers, so you will have to download a program first. A good option is [https://filezilla-project.org/ FileZilla], which is completely free. Download it, install it and run it.

==== Using the quickconnect bar ====
<ul>
<li>Host: sftp://ssh1.ulyssis.org or sftp://ssh2.ulyssis.org</li>
<li>Username: your username</li>
<li>Password: your password</li>
<li>Port: 22 (you can leave this blank)</li>
<li>Connect to ULYSSIS by clicking on Quickconnect</li>
</ul>
