 Tor has been discussed previously and there were a number of objections on ethical and reputational grounds. Tor nodes are unlikely to be approved and should not be operated on our network. Tor has been discussed previously and there were a number of objections on ethical and reputational grounds.

 +===== Setup =====
 +
 +  * Ask to be added to the //colo// group, which will give you access to [[https://netbox.ehlab.uk/|NetBox]].
 +  * NetBox:
 +    * Check the list of device types, and create one if your hardware isn't already listed.
 +    * Create a device entry for your server and record the location where it will be installed. For non-rack devices, the server will usually go on the shelving.
 +    * Allocate public IPs from the Server LAN (one IPv4 per member, but as many IPv6 as needed) and link them to the device.
 +  * DNS:
 +    * Local DNS: is driven from NetBox data.
 +    * Internet DNS: forward entries are up to you, reverse entries should be requested from Tim.
 +  * Install:
 +    * Rack devices should be installed securely. If you don't have rails, get permission to stack on another person's server and don't stack multiple unsecured servers.
 +    * Route power cables at the right-side of the rack (view from the rear) and use cable ties to keep them neat and tidy. If you have dual PSUs, only connect one of them (dual PSUs will use more power, and there is limited benefit as we don't have independent power sources).
 +    * Route network cables to the left-side of the rack and connect to a Server LAN port. Record the port used in NetBox or [[https://wiki.edinburghhacklab.com/ehana|EHANA]] (depending on the switch).
 +    * Label your server with your name, and the server name (matching the one in NetBox).
