So some initial work was done to move all services onto an OVH 'FailOver' IP which can be moved between servers within OVH. Once that was completed a new machine was rented and work carried out in early August 2015 to move to it. This culminated in services all being moved to the new machine on 9th August 2015. As this mostly entailed just copying the exact same VMs over to the new machine, and then switching the FailOver IP to point at it instead, no new machine names resulted from this move.</ins></div></td></tr>

= The Fysh Server Called River =<br />
<br />
[[river.fysh.org]] is currently a KVM-hosted virtual machine running on [[stream.fysh.org]], a server rented from and hosted by [http://www.ovh.co.uk/ OVH]. This is paid for via subscriptions charged to the principal users of the machine. Any queries about payments, or obtaining an account, should be directed to [[Mike Ashton]].<br />
<br />
The machine generally runs the current Stable version of the [http://www.debian.org/ Debian] distribution of [http://www.linux.org/ Linux]. The majority of the software installed on it is that which is directly supported by Debian, as this makes day-to-day administration and keeping things up to date very easy. We will, however, install software by hand if sufficient need is demonstrated. Our aim is to offer a ''stable'' service first and foremost, so don't necessarily expect cutting-edge versions of software.<br />
<br />
''Note that this is a 64-bit installation, with some 32-bit compatibility libraries''. If you're trying to get something to work from source yourself you might encounter problems if it is not 100% 64-bit clean. You can try compiling with the '-m32' flag, but it would be best to get the source fixed.<br />
<br />
Between [[river.fysh.org]] and [[stickelback.fysh.org]] we provide a wide range of services, ranging from email and web pages, through hosting of domains to the more esoteric such as [http://www.goteamspeak.com/ TeamSpeak] servers.<br />
<br />
If you have a problem with, or a query about, any of the services on fysh.org, or would like to request an additional service, please send email to [mailto:root@fysh.org The Fyshy Admin].<br />
<br />
Current Supported Services:<br />
<br />
* [[Mail|Mail]]<br />
* [[Shell Accounts|Shell Accounts]]<br />
* [[DNS|DNS / Domains]]<br />
* [[News|Usenet / NetNews]]<br />
* [[FTP|FTP]]<br />
* [[Databases|Databases]]<br />
<br />
Note that the following services are now on separate machines:<br />
<br />
* [[Web|Web Services]] on [[stickelback.fysh.org]]<br />

= History =<br />
Initially fysh.org was intended to be primarily for the benefit of certain graduates from [http://www.warwick.ac.uk The University of Warwick]'s [http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/ Department of Computer Science] who were just some of the self-proclaimed [[Fysh]]. Indeed it was initially hosted, as the server crucigera.fysh.org, in the office of a friendly member of Warwick DCS staff. Since then it's been hosted for free on various DSL lines (even before those were offered publically in the UK) and at the premises of a few companies with which one of the Fyshy Admin had associations at the time before finally settling down as a paid-for dedicated server rented from [http://www.uk2.net/ UK2.net].<br />
<br />
[[bowl.fysh.org]] took over from [[crucigera.fysh.org]] in June 2001 after repeated hardware problems with the latter. The main server kept that name through another hardware change or two, including the move to the rented machine from UK2.net (where the hard disks have had to be moved to fresh hardware at least once).<br />
<br />
In November 2007 we suffered a successful hack attack against [[bowl.fysh.org]], and as a result started running services in VMware instances. We renamed the machine itself to [[tank.fysh.org]] and brought up an initial four VMware instances: [[bowl.fysh.org]], [[www.fysh.org]], [[dns.fysh.org]] and [[surfers.fysh.org]]. This rapidly proved to be too much for the hardware to cope with. We put Surfers back on [[bowl.fysh.org]] along with DNS (now chrooted) so as to run only two VMware instances. However this was still too much for the machine to cope with and things were further exacerbated when [[tank.fysh.org]] developed new hardware problems. This gave us the final push to move to [http://www.panix.com/ PANIX].<br />
<br />
So, starting from 13th March 2008 we been used two Virtual Co-locations with [http://www.panix.com/ PANIX]. The first of these was [[pond.fysh.org]] which runs the majority of services. The second was [[fyn.fysh.org]] which handles [[Web|Web Services]].<br />
<br />
By early 2010 we were encountering some problems with running newer kernels on the PANIX V-Colos so decided to change back to a dedicated machine on which we'd run virtualisation ourselves. This lead to us renting a new machine, [[reef.fysh.org]] from [http://www.redstation.co.uk/ Redstation]. We then use [http://www.linux-kvm.org/ KVM] to run two virtual machines, [[lake.fysh.org]] which replaced [[pond.fysh.org]], and [[guppy.fysh.org]] which replaced [[fyn.fysh.org]]. We migrated to these new machines during the evening of 8th March 2010.<br />
<br />
In June 2013 the Fyshy Admins decided that the Redstation server was no longer value for money and decided to move to OVH. This lead to us renting [[stream.fysh.org]]. We continued to use [http://www.linux-kvm.org/ KVM] to run virtual machines for user-facing services, this time via [http://libvirt.org/index.html libvirt]. The two VMs are [[river.fysh.org]], which replaced [[lake.fysh.org]], and [[stickelback.fysh.org]], which replaced [[guppy.fysh.org]]. At time of writing this move is not yet complete, but is expected to be carried out on 29th June 2013.</div>Athan
