This repository holds configuration files and documentation about the systems used for the PHP.net infrastructure.

These systems are maintained collectively by the subscribers to the systems@php.net mailing list.

This repository is available in /local/systems on each physical/virtual host (aka boxen). Most major packages (Apache, MariaDB, Postfix, etc) needed by services on that boxen are installed using distribution packages.

Boxen configuration

All[^wip] hosts use cron-box-crontab as the crontab for the root user, which is configured to run tasks every five minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. The configuration for each boxen can be found in the file boxen/$(hostname).

Configuration for the services on all[^wip] hosts is stored in a directory in this repository named $(hostname), and a script called $(hostname)/install-config.sh will symlink them into place and restart the appropriate services.

The standard cron-box setup will alert systems@php.net when errors are encountered.

Tasks

All of the jobs run through cron are stored in this repository, mostly as shell scripts, and they are currently all located in the top level.

Secrets

Secrets, tokens, and other configuration may be stored in /local/this-box on the individual boxen, in which case the backup-thisbox task should be included in the daily cron-box tasks for that boxen.

[^wip]: Once they've all been configured, which is a work in progress right now.
