This page simply aims at listing the services provided by TuxFamily.
Contents
Common services
TuxFamily hosts a few services you can use without even registering to TuxFamily:
- NTP service: ntp.tuxfamily.net
- IRC service: irc.tuxfamily.org (/join #tuxfamily)
- A few free games: http://games.tuxfamily.net/
- The TuxFamily panel public part: http://projects.tuxfamily.org/
User-wide services
The most basic services TuxFamily offers to registered users are user accounts and projects, also known as groups. Your user account notably enables you to log in to:
- the TuxFamily panel: https://panel.tuxfamily.org/
- our forum: http://forum.tuxfamily.org/
- this FAQ
Project-wide services
Here are the objects/services you can require on the panel once your project is accepted:
- Web-related services:
- Databases:
- Version control systems (VCS) repositories:
- Other services:
Also, keep in mind your project is automatically referenced on the public part of the TuxFamily panel.
Non-services
TuxFamily is a hoster, not a forge. Therefore, TuxFamily does not provide some services, such as a preformatted website, a bugtracker instance (you have to install and manage your own one on a web area) or other nifty social thingies (e.g. kudos). Also, dynamic pages on web areas may be generated by almost any stateless CGI-compatible technology; "stateless" means "generated without having to keep a process or daemon alive between two dynamic requests". Thus, most application servers (Tomcat, GlassFish, Jetty, Mongrel, Zope, ...) are not welcome at TuxFamily.
Reminder for your connection parameters
- TuxFamily panel: https://panel.tuxfamily.org your_login / your_password (you can ask for a new one if you inadvertently forgot it)
- Jabber service: jabber.tuxfamily.org your_login@jabber.tuxfamily.org / your_password
- Manage your files: if you have a project group, inform contributors they shall connect to SFTP/SSH/FTP using their own login.
- SFTP service: sftp.tuxfamily.net your_login / your_password
- SSH service: ssh.tuxfamily.net your_login / your_password
- FTP service: ftp.tuxfamily.org your_login / your_password (in case you wonder: use passive mode; do not hesitate to switch to SFTP though)
- Manage your databases:
- The database username (referred below as "database_login") is the same as the database name itself, i.e. ParentProjectName_SpecificName
- The database password (referred below as "database_psswd") can be defined/changed through the TuxFamily panel, among the database settings.
- Direct access (e.g. from your web area or your SSH shell): database_login / database_psswd; notes:
- The server hostname is "sql", using standard TCP ports (3306 for MySQL, 5432 for PostgreSQL).
- Yes, the server name for both MySQL and PostgreSQL is simply "sql", with no extension.
- Yes, it works as is.
- No, we do not have a lot of imagination.
- No, we will not change anything anywhere to make "localhost" act the same way.
- No, it cannot be accessed remotely from outside TuxFamily (for security reasons, e.g. this kind of things).
- PhpMyAdmin: http://phpmyadmin.tuxfamily.org/ database_login / database_psswd
- PhpPgAdmin: http://phppgadmin.tuxfamily.org/ database_login / database_psswd
- Access your mails:
- from a proper client (MUA, Mail User Agent):
- IMAPS service: imaps.tuxfamily.org your_login / your_password
- IMAP service: imap.tuxfamily.org your_login / your_password
- POPS service: pops.tuxfamily.org your_login / your_password
- POP service: pop.tuxfamily.org your_login / your_password
- from a web browser:
- https://webmail.tuxfamily.org/ let you choose between Squirrelmail and RoundCube your_login / your_password
- Also available without TLS on http://webmail.tuxfamily.org/.
- from a proper client (MUA, Mail User Agent):
- Let TuxFamily manage your domain:
- NameServers: ns1.tuxfamily.net and ns2.tuxfamily.net
- Web areas entry point: set your DNS records to 212.85.158.4 (A) or web.tuxfamily.net (CNAME) -- do not forget the www subdomain if you want it.
- Let TuxFamily manage your mails for that domain:
- Set your DNS records (MX) to mx1.tuxfamily.net and mx2.tuxfamily.net
