Passwords
Every board member should have access to most of the relevant passwords. Some passwords for financial accounts are only held by a couple of board members.
IRC
At the moment only guan, rmd6502, and jacolatern have AFRefiorstv mode on #hackmanhattan on Freenode. obscurite has fo but that's a really weird setup.
Out of House Infrastructure and Utilities
Verizon FiOs
The building pays for 150/150 Mbps at $200 monthly.
Digital Ocean
We have a virtual machine with Digital Ocean. Backups are done with ? (I can't hear Guan over all this noise and heard something along the lines of dupe or rsync or something with two machines). This machine runs our website, wiki, building website, building wiki, and mailing lists. This is accomplished with a traditional LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP). We accomplish having multiple websites on the same host with Nginx. The machine's IP is 162.243.60.59. The typical username is hackmanhattan apparently. hackmanhattan.com points to a WordPress installation. wiki.hackmanhattan.com is a MediaWiki installation. ratpark.nyc is also another WordPress setup. wiki.ratpark.nyc is of course, MediaWiki. list.hackmanhattan is Postfix and Mailman, for mailing lists.
members.hackmanhattan.com, our in-house payment system, is a custom ?. For some reason list.hackmanhattan.com responds to requests to that hostname. Why?
Comodo
So we have SSL certs for every hostname currently involved except for ratpark.nyc, which keeps presenting hackmanhattan.com's instead. They're issued by Comodo. I would've thought we'd have had wildcard card certs for both major domains but apparently this is not the case (for *.hackmanhattan.com and *.ratpark.nyc).
Google Apps
@hackmanhattan.com (and therefore not @list.hackmanhattan.com) addresses are with Google Apps.

Notes about subnets, routes and DHCP
Since bo.x0.rs provides its own 10.133.7.0, 10.8.0.0, 10.0.59.0, and 10.0.93.0 subnets, it essentially acts as a second router. Hence, we send out classless static routes via DHCP to make sure none of the clients run into problems and the containers can identify which device is talking to them. This also means static routes are set on the router, plus the necessary DHCP-options may be found in LuCI: Network -> Interfaces -> lan -> DHCP -> Advanced -> DHCP Options.
Since the spec says to ignore the default route packet if classless static route options are seen, we include the default route in the static routes we send out.
Dynamic allocations start at 192.168.42.150.

IP and DHCP Information (Old-ish)
The previous plan called for a private Class A block (10/8). After much thought, it was decided this was unreasonable.
This new plan will use a Class C subnet: 192.168.42.0/23. This gives us a theoretical maximum of 510 IPs. The main router also handle DHCP requests for both wired and wireless clients, assigning IPs from the range 192.168.43.1 to 192.168.43.254. Wired and wireless machines will be able to set up static IPs in the 192.168.42.1 to 192.168.42.255 range. Sure, one could set up VLANs, but since we don't intend on complicating our setup, a /23 is a reasonable thing to do.

I'm not going to use proprietary diagramming tools or bother writing some script to graph this. Text is enough and more than sufficient for our purposes.

Security and Liability
It would be in our best interests to not homebrew hardware and instead use known commercial hardware. Ubiquiti comes to mind. They have the Unifi series of cameras, the UVC-Micro, UVC, UVC-Dome, and the UVC-Pro. One would use their appliance, which they provide free access to the packages for so you don't need to buy their hardware appliance and instead deploy it on your own machine.
Given that the UVC and the UVC-Micro run for ~100 each, it'd be great to cover the first floor, space, machine area, and roof with them. A separate webcam would be used for the public space webcam, and access to the appliance would be limited to the board and trusted members of the space. For about 400 dollars, we can cover the four spaces and we're not locked into some crappy online "cloud"-based DVR system.
Incidents
- 2016-05-31: The space VoIP phone was reported to have no networking. A troubleshooting monkey was dispatched, and it was found that if one plugs said phone in the inappropriate holes, it will not work. RESOLVED.
- 2016-05-23: Since our wrtnodes that run our streams operate within that band, our space stream was no longer accessible (but the front door still was?). This has been rectified by having it connect as a client to a different access point. Resolved.
- 2016-05-23: Whilst performing hotfixes to rectify the 2016-05-23 network problem, one of our volunteer monkeys disabled the wireless interfaces on our space access point, and they are currently still down. Whack the main space stream once this is fixed. UNRESOLVED.
- 2016-05-23: A building community member reported failure to obtain a DHCP lease on all over our access points' 2.4 GHz networks, which is extremely odd since they're all on the same VLAN and on the same hardware as their 5GHz radio interfaces. Regardless, volunteers attempted to look at the problem, which was magically gone by 2016-05-27. Unable to reproduce. Resolved.
