Developer Management

Server Information
We used Dreamhost for our shared hosting setup. We give out usernames that belong to our group in order to help out development.
Server
overlap.org
Current Developers
Policies
- DO NOT share your username and password with anyone
- DO NOT use FTP (an insecure protocol)
SSH
ssh USERNAME@overlap.org
FTP
FTP is unsecure and not supported. DO NOT USE IT.
SFTP
SFTP uses a secure ftp connection for file transfer. You can use it from the commandline or with most ftp clients. You use your same username and the overlap.org hostname for the connection. It requires a password, which is the same as your account on overlap.org.
Settings on Server
Please add this to your ~/.bash_profile (same as /home/USERNAME/.bash_profile):
umask 002
You can edit this file from the commandline after SSH'ing into your account, like so:
nano /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.bash_profile
or
nano ~/.bash_profile
Work on overlap.org
After having logged into your account with #SSH, then:
cd /home/overlap/
From there you should be able to see how the project is setup.
The path to the live website is:
cd /home/overlap/overlap.org
Shortcut to Overlap.org
Log into your account with #SSH, then do this from your home (cd ~):
ln -s /home/overlap .
This creates a shortcut called overlap to the overlap home folder. Then you can just do this from your home directory:
cd overlap
or, from anywhere on the server:
cd ~/overlap
to get to the overlap project home folder.
New Developers
Please email the overlap mailing list to get a new username and account on our server. We require new users to have done the following steps in order to get into the CORE developers:
- Sign up for overlap.org (add your blog, blog feed, and join the mailing list)
- Make one significant contribution to the community (whether code, some task, etc)
- email the list with your public ssh key, desired username, real name and real email address
