DOCUMENTATION

SSH

Each member is provided with a shell account. We have various development tools, games & more. Everything is hosted on an Alpine Linux system, so there's plenty to discover!

To prepare for connecting, in `~/.ssh/config` add `VerifyHostKeyDNS=yes`. This is for increased security. Next, SSH on port `2222`, host `altesq.net` with your username. Example: `ssh -p 2222 member@altesq.net`.

HTTP

Our webserver is NGINX and we provide website hosting for our members. In order to get started, simply upload your website files in `~/public.html`. Current index filetypes supported: txt, html.

You'll find your website at the following address: altesq.net/~member

You can browse the WWW with: lynx.

GEMINI

We use Gemserv to host Gemini capsules. To discover Gemini, simply upload an `index.gmi` file in `~/public_gemini`.

You'll find your capsule at the following address: altesq.net/~member

We have a Gemini browser installed: amfora.

CROC

Croc is a tool that allows any two computers to simply and securely transfer files and folders. It uses relays to find the IP of the other person, since it's not peer-to-peer. The relay cannot see any of the contents of the files due to them being encrypted. If you don't want to use the relay hosted by the devs, you can use the altesq one. Simply add `--relay altesq.net` and send your files. Example: `croc send --relay altesq.net picture.jpg`.

IRC

We have our own IRC server where we can interact with eachother without corporate infestation! We use Ergo, latest and greatest IRC server with IRCv3 features supported. To connect, for IP use `irc.altesq.net` and port `6697`, TLS enabled. We can't wait to meet you in #lounge!

If you want to connect to it from Altesq itself, just type `weechat` and you'll get autoconnected to #lounge with your username.

BOTANY

This is an awesome mini-game where you take care of your own plant and can help others! To get started, type botany and water your plant. All information is stored in ~/.botany.

IRIS

Iris is a tiny bit of shared message and file convention that pretends to be forum software. It is a fully usable message system, designed for use between different users on a single server. Iris is strictly text-based, requiring no GUI or web servers. To get started type iris. More information can be found below.

SECURITY
