===== Servers and Web Resources =====

**NOTE: Currently under revision**

VHS Operates many servers inside our space and rents a few Virtual Servers for external operations.

==== Virtual Servers ====

We currently have multiple virtual servers from Digital Ocean and Leaseweb.

  * talk.vanhack.ca - used for projects, website and forums
  * krampus.vanhack.ca - mail server and membership system

=== VHS API ===

VHS API is a simple HTTP interface to store values from various sensors.  VHS API has a notion of a "Hackspace" which may have various "Datapoints".  Each "Datapoint" has a current value, a time it was last set, and a full history of changes.

The code is up on Github: https://github.com/vhs/api  Read the README for more information on how to hack on this software.

==== Inside our Space ====

The VHS LAN uses the IP address range 172.16.0.0/16.

The following servers and computers have a (semi-)permanent place on the network:

=== VM Server ===

{{ ::server.jpg?nolink&300|Our VM server, NAS and miscellany}}

VHS has a server for members to run Virtual Machines (VMs) on. If you want a VM, ask on the vhs-members mailing list and someone will help you set it up.  We also have a 6TB NAS server, which should hopefully provide your VM with in-space backup.  No warranty expressed or implied, etc etc.

The VHS VM server also runs a PBX (Private Branch Exchange, i.e. telephone switch) for the hackspace.


=== Server Policy ===

All servers inside VHS are available for hacking on by all members*.  Ask around in the space for the password, and get busy!

* Does not apply to computers that drive the laser cutter, CNC mill or other dangerous moving equipment.
