How to change the main domain name of this network

1. services
2. dns

Idea: consolidate all sites under a single domain instead of the current multitude of subdomains. At least get rid of anarcat.ath.cx.

See also ~/notes/domains.mdwn.

anarcat.ath.cx -> orangeseeds.org migration

• Domain: is orangeseeds.org the good one? kind of long... we keep it for hosted things and also use anarc.at for personnal things and shorter URLs
• DNS: zonefiles migrated, with dual-view (done)
• gmpc: change hostnames in every client should use anarc.at

anarcat.ath.cx -> anarc.at

We will keep the orangeseeds.org domain to host public stuff from others, but I'll keep my stuff on anarc.at.

Things to change:

• wiki (done!)

  • virtual host change

    •    ServerName anarcat.ath.cx:80
      

    •    ServerAlias anarc.at
      

    •    ServerName anarc.at:80
      

    •    ServerName source.wiki.anarcat.ath.cx:80
      

    •    ServerName source.anarc.at:80
      

  • keep a redirection from anarcat.ath.cx, in ikisite-anarc.at-redir

  • ikiwiki.setup changes:
    • change wikiname, adminemail, url, cgiurl
    • add old URLs to urlalias
    • change hostname, openid_cgiurl, repositories

  • change git symlink:

       root@marcos:/var/lib/ikiwiki-hosting-web/git# ln -s /home/a-wiki/source.git anarc.at.git
       root@marcos:/var/lib/ikiwiki-hosting-web/git# ln -s /home/a-wiki/source.git wiki.anarc.at.git
    

  • replace anarcat.ath.cx by anarc.at in ikiwiki-hosting.conf

  • refresh wiki: ikisite changesetup wiki.anarc.at --rebuild

• munin (see above) (done!)

  • change stats page links (done)

    cd /var/lib/munin cp -a anarcat.ath.cx orangeseeds.org rename s/anarcat.ath.cx/orangeseeds.org/ * vim /etc/munin/munin-conf.d/nodes.conf

• DNS:

  • create zonefile, a copy of orangeseeds.org (done)

  • hostnames everywhere (done):

  • roadkiller (done)

       /etc/hosts
       /etc/rc.conf
       hostname roadkiller.anarc.at
       /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf
    

  • marcos (done)

       /etc/mailname
       /etc/hosts
       /etc/resolv.conf
       /etc/postfix/*
    

• monkeysphere: monkeysphere-host n+ ssh://anarc.at/; monkeysphere-host n+ ssh://marcos.anarc.at/

• gmpc: change hostname when found, not urgent

Bug with gandi and ipv6

Gandi screwed me over big time, twice:

1. they couldn't register a .ca domain name properly. when I opened a support ticket, they figured it out and told me that the domain was now registered. two weeks later, the domain is still not registered. this is still pending (2013-08-15 - 2013-09-08)

2. when I registered a .at, I added an IPv6 glue record for my primary nameserver. this made the nameserver configuration completely fail:

   2400 : Command failed (541 Invalid attribute value; IPv6 NOT ALLOWED [ns0.anarc.at 2001:1928:1:9::1])
   

   i had to disable IPv6 on that domain for the nameservers to propagate.

Considering switching, see registrars.

Update: turns out i had to confirm registration with CIRA. They send you a password by email, usually, but i didn't receive it the first time. The second time i tried, it failed again but then i pinged GANDI again and they provided me with a password to register on CIRA and it worked. --2013-09-12
