T13, you definitely can't connect to "xtools-legacy-1.xtools.eqiad.wmflabs" directly. At a high level, you connect to the open-to-the-internet host at bastion.wmflabs.org, and that is a server behind the WMFLabs firewall that has permissions to connect to the webservers. I don't personally use that client, but https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Access provides good advice, and someone in #wikimedia-labs can provide you with specifics.

Cyberpower, that is understood, though I'm not certain what I'm being voted in for. I'm fine with being a maintainer, but I don't plan on writing code or doing much like that; I can administrate servers if needed but I'd like to mainly observe and suggest; I also will likely "abstain" on almost all votes/etc.

Cyberpower, yes. No formal training, but I'm decent.

 

Folks, you need to connect to bastion first, and then connect to xtools-legacy-1.xtools.eqiad.wmflabs. You can't SSH to the webservers directly; that is a gigantic security risk.

Actually, I suppose I did work on production on a project called the "Orion Belt Coalition", which was a cryptocurrency-related project (and is now down), but I only spent about 30 hours working on that, and a lot of that time was cursing some sysadmins who had decided to use Windows Server for some parts of it instead of a nice Ubuntu LAMP stack or similar. And I also designed some other stuff for cryptocurrency, etc, but that didn't have too much to do with PHP/JavaScript.

Cyberpower, without screenshots and/or logs, I can't help you. I'm not too familiar with PuTTY though because I mainly use GNU/Linux and other Unix-like operating systems with native ssh.

 

T13, my "qualifications and experiences" are basically "I read stuff on the Internet and I tinker and optimize on my small cluster"; nothing professionally.

I’d still prefer a discussion.  I haven’t revoked yet because I don’t want to be a dick.  As for SSHing in, I followed the instructions and keep getting “Server unexpectedly closed network connection”

T13, host is xtools-legacy-1.xtools.eqiad.wmflabs, port is default 22.

 

FYI, since it looks like no one actually has objections to me on the project and/or no one has revoked my access even though everyone on this list has the technical power to do that, I'm going to consider myself having permission to have read access to server files.

Not quite, he'll also need host/port and any additional specific information for our instance. I'm assuming that our instance will use the same key that we use for toollabs that's on wikitech.wikimedia.org

Cyberpower, see https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Access and https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Putty; I assume that'll answer your questions?

Not working with PuTTY or Bastion.   Can someone give me a step by step?  I’m horrible with linux servers.  That’s why we have Elee. :p
