Current project:

Here are our current build documents:

  • Goals – what we're trying to accomplish in building the new servers
  • Basics – system names, etc.
  • TODO – what's left to do before moving to production
  • Timeline – order in which things need to proceed
  • IPs – what needs to be changed when changing IP addresses and/or domains

Here's the order that the build should generally proceed:

  1. Hardware – description of the hardware configuration
  2. Debian – base OS installation and configuration (including hard drive partitioning)
  3. Solaris – base OS installation and configuration

  8. Security – security changes to base installation (primarily SSL certificates)
  9. IMAP – Courier IMAP email access
