Setup

Members of RTM: check out the "RTM Reference" collective on our nextcloud for information on how to set up tailscale, ssh access, and user accounts on our servers. Without this, you won't be able to do operations.

Once you have network access, install abra. Read the "Install" and "Quick start"/"New operators tutorial" sections of https://docs.coopcloud.tech/abra/, which will guide you through wgetting abra.

Then, run:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.coopcloud.tech/RTM/rtm-config.git
$ cd rtm-config
$ abra server add laylotta.resisttechmonopolies.online
$ abra server add mango.resisttechmonmopolies.online
$ abra server add sootie.resisttechmonopolies.online

If you skipped the --recurse-submodules flag, you can still do git submodule update --init later to get the rtm-astro-recipe recipe.

Usage

Once you've got this repo cloned and abra installed, you can run abra commands. To test:

$ abra app logs resisttechmonopolies.online

Should give a list of logs for our website! Other abra commands will work here.

From here, use abra to make changes (and reach out to a member of our infra/member-services working group for a tutorial if you would like!). Then, contribute your git changes back to this repository so everyone else sees what you've done and doesn't clobber your changes.

Dev environment

Sootie is our dev server. If you would like to experiment with changes and fuck around there, use sootie! The implication here is that sootie has a greater chance of having uncommitted changes in its environment than other servers, and that these changes are safe to clobber over.
