User Management
We currently have a license with 25 seats. This means, only 25 accounts can be active at the same time. Administrators are able to activate and deactivate accounts as needed. Generally, the core team has constant active accounts while external people only get activated when needed.
Frontend Linking
To allow Frontend access to newly created spaces the permissions have to be properly set. The following is a list of steps to make a space available in the Frontend.
Create new Space
Go to "Space Settings" and then "Permissions".
Click on "Edit Permissions" under "Individual Users".
Add the "Convergence" users with only the first "All - View" permission set.
Save the permissions.
Go to the Frontend page and link to the create space.
The "Convergence" user is registered with the Email "convergence@iad.zhdk.ch" and password "kF%ekz7Gbm8A?RxBRzmY". It has an API access token with the key "9Jjsj9vtpohfJvZajwPx026A" to access the Confluence API.
Frontend Management
The custom frontend running on http://iad.zhdk.ch is called "Convergence" and can be found here. The software reads pages from Confluence and caches them for 30 minutes. In the bottom right corner is a link to invalidate the cache when needed.
Frontend & Lab Borrowing System Server
The Frontend and the Lab Borrowing System are run on our "cloud.iad.zhdk.ch" server. You need to login as root using SSH with a key that has already been registered on the server. (https://github.com/dokku/dokku)
SSH access:
: ssh root@cloud.iad.zhdk.ch
: dokku apps
Change mail account for lab.leihs:
: set MAIL_SENDER=user.name@zhdk.ch SMTP_USER=******** SMTP_PASSWORD=******
From the you can use the "dokku" tools to interact with the deployed applications.
Trouble Shooting
The Wiki and Lab Borrowing System can be restarted with the following command after logging in on SSH:
: dokku ps:restart --all
If that fails, contact Joël Gähwiller.
