Unicorn
Unicorn is a homage to our long dead server, formerly known as Stallion.
It has no guaranteed uptime or functionality; it is up to you to keep the services you want running, running. Like a stallion.
This utility server is 4 cores, 24gb ram, 120gb ssd storage and 12tb bandwidth.
Volunteers warmly encouraged to setup and maintain it! Please contact us via the main Noisebridge Discussion Mailing List

- Domains: Current domains and subdomains hosted on this server: (see
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*
)
- DNS: all
*.noisebridge.info
subdomains point to this server, as does the naked domain (noisebridge.info
)
- SSL: certbot runs every day to renew certs for all (sub)domains it knows about
- To add a new service at, say,
somethingcool.noisebridge.info
...- Create a file similar to
/etc/nginx/sites-available/noisebridge.info
called/etc/nginx/sites-available/somethingcool.noisebridge.info
- Run
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/somethingcool.noisebridge.info /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/somethingcool.noisebridge.info; sudo nginx -t

Rules and Guidelines
- Be excellent to each other
- Don't fuck up other people's shit
- Usage of containers is encouraged where practical, but not required
- Databases sometimes have issues running in Docker, for example
- If you need a different version of some database that is already running on the default port, run the version you need in a Docker container, or on a different port (and that stores its data in a different directory!)
Access
For SSH access, ask @jslack, @elimisteve, or @Rando in Slack, or visit the Unicorn Slack channel and ask.
SSH Config
Consider generating a new SSH key pair with
$ ssh-keygen -b 4096
then calling it, say, unicorn-nb
, then add this to your ~/.ssh/config
file:
Host unicorn-nb
User noisebridge
Hostname 172.93.55.252
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/unicorn-nb
If your SSH pub key (~/.ssh/unicorn-nb.pub
) has been added to unicorn-nb:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
, you should now be able to shell in by typing
$ ssh unicorn-nb
...and thanks to the ~/.ssh/config
entry, the name of the server you're trying to SSH into -- namely unicorn-nb
in this case -- should autocomplete!
