| At the core of ASL service is a distributed database, which is active-active across all nodes. Registration servers talk to this database along with the nodes list and DNS servers. These services are the core of ASL services; IAX2 registration, nodes list and DNS. All other services are nice to have, but don't affect the availability of the network for end users. | | At the core of ASL service is a distributed database, which is active-active across all nodes.

| |
| The core servers are all interconnected using host to host IPSEC. This not tunnels, but rather host to host, where traffic is encrypted between hosts using pre-shared keys. These have proven to be reliable and work well even over the best effort of the internet. The DB servers require encrypted channels, as they don't support encryption at the application level. This also simplifies networking between ASL hosts.

|
| |
|
| DNS is serviced for primary DNS with short TTL's on register.allstarlink.org. Should any one server go offline, it's pulled from the DNS and turns down after 30 seconds. For the remainder of ASL hosts, several secondary servers exist. | | DNS is serviced for primary DNS with short TTL's on register.allstarlink.org.

| All users should have access to this box via SSH keys. Please place your public key in your home directory and your user should be in the "sudo" group to enable sudo.
| |
| | |
| This box is DL360 with 12 cores and 128 GB of ram. There are 8 146.8 GB 15k SAS disks in a Raid 50 config.
| |
| | |
| It's primary IP is 44.98.254.129/27 which is a logical interface "44net" on the 44net bridge.
| |
| | |
| enp3s0f0 is 208.38.136.11 and is physically the left most port on the box. Our upstream router has a static route pointing 44.98.254.128/27 at this interface.

| The VM's are given addresses out of 44.98.254.128/27

| The ILO is at https://192.168.8.5/ This is behind the VPN and is a seperate network. You will need VPN credentials and a vpn config for this.

| The ILO needs java installed to get at the console, but is licensed for full video access.

| ===== Syslog and fail2ban =====
| |
| | |
| The VM's are setup for remote syslog to 44.98.254.129.
| |
| | |
| Fail2ban is configured to nullroute IPs and email the admin contact after 2 bad logins. As it's done with a nullroute, fail2ban can run on the hypervisor and will catch login attempts on the VM's. This means if you get locked out via fail2ban, you're locked out of all VMs.
| |
| | |
| There is a firewall configured at /etc/network/firewall.sh. Note this protects the hypervisor (INPUT) and to the 44net subnet (FORWARD). By default everything is blocked to the external interface and new services must be added to allow them out.
| |
| | |

| ===== VM management =====
| |
| [https://github.com/kimchi-project Kimchi] is used for server management of the VM's and gives a nice easy way to setup a server. It's basically a frontend for virsh
| |
| | |
| The network config is based on this https://jamielinux.com/docs/libvirt-networking-handbook/custom-routed-network.html
| |
| | |
| To provision a server from a template:
| |
| # login to [https://208.38.136.11:8001 Kimchi]
| |
| # Click on Virtualization and then Add
| |
| # Give the server a logical name and choose a template
| |
| # Click Create
| |
| # The server will be instantiated, but not started, if you want to change things, nows the time.
| |
| # You'll need to provision the network
| |
| # To assign an IP that's static we use DHCP, but assign a static lease.
| |
| # do 'echo 52:54:00:73:XX:XX,44.98.254.x' >> /var/lib/dnsmasq/44net/hostsfile" from the CLI. This needs the MAC address of the server and the static IP it will be on.
| |
| # do 'service dnsmasq@44net reload' to reload the dnsmasq config
| |
| # Double check everything and you can boot the server.
| |
| It will now boot and install ubuntu and should have a public IP in the 44net range
| |
| | |
| You will want to ensure it's auto started and will need to do that from the CLI using the virsh "autostart" command. This ensures the server will boot when the box restarts.

This is a page concerning the various servers and hosts which comprise the ASL network services
Overview
The ASL architecture is designed to be scalable across donated/purchased virtual machines. Any bare metal servers will be setup with a VM technology, ASL is agnostic to the chosen hypervisor. We are using a mixture of Cloud hosting providers to run AllStarLink.
At the core of ASL service is a distributed database, which is active-active across all nodes. Registration servers talk to this database along with the nodes list and DNS servers. These services are the core of ASL services; IAX2 registration, nodes list and DNS. All other services are nice to have, but don't affect the availability of the network for end users.
DNS is serviced for primary DNS with short TTL's on register.allstarlink.org. Should any one server go offline, it's pulled from the DNS and turns down after 30 seconds. For the remainder of ASL hosts, several secondary servers exist.
Servers
- All servers should have a local use in the format of "jdoe" for the user.
- Password auth should not be used, ssh should be setup.
- Sudo should be used for admin access.
