Installing Debian on a new LJ web slave
=======================================
Rebuilding an existing machine?
* Take machine down on BIG-IP (optional. if not, one or two
dropped connections before BIG-IP does it for us)
Setting up a new machine?
* allocate an IP address, set it up on internal DNS server
* let that IP address SNAT out of the BIG-IP
* Reboot machine with Debian CD. If machine has no CD-ROM, open case
and attach CD-ROM to an IDE channel.
* at "boot:" prompt, press <ENTER>
Debian installation menu:
* Configure keyboard: qwerty
* Partition hard disk:
hda1 4000 / * bootable
hda2 15000 /home
hda3 1500 (swap)
(make swap double ram, / 4G, and the rest to /home)
* Init swap partition
* Init Linux Partitions:
/, then /home
(hit enter a lot, but but 'no' to linux 2.0 compatibility)
* Install operating system kernel & modules
from cdrom
where does it reside? hit enter (universal solution)
'default': The default stable archive

* new packages need to be installed? continue? <enter>
* exim configuration: 5 (we're gonna scrap it later)
* erase debs? <enter>, yes.
* "Have fun!", debian says. (Aren't we already?)
Out of the installer:
* login as root
lj-foo:~# ae /etc/apt/sources.list
Make the file be these two lines:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
lj-foo:~# export http_proxy="http://10.0.0.17:3128/"
lj-foo:~# apt-get update
lj-foo:~# apt-get dist-upgrade
More debconf!
System readable homes? sure. (no public user accounts anyway)
Restart services? yeah.

lj-foo:~# apt-get install ssh
enter, enter, enter.
lj-foo:~# apt-get install lynx
lj-foo:~# lynx -source http://www.livejournal.com/misc/pkg-webslave.txt | xargs apt-get -y install
If Squid cache is being a bitch, disable it for any missing packages:
lj-foo:~# lynx -source http://www.livejournal.com/misc/pkg-webslave.txt | http_proxy='' xargs apt-get -y install
Ntpdate debconf:
Timeserver? 'timeserver' (internal DNS name)
######### Warning: non-hax0rs can stop here ################
lj-foo:~# mount
# Then for each ext2 mount do:
lj-foo:~# tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 -j /dev/hda1
lj-foo:~# tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 -j /dev/hda2
* change /etc/fstab to be 'auto' instead of 'ext2'
* vga=1 in /etc/lilo.conf
* put new kernel on machine with ext3 (static), smp, etc.

* update-rc.d mii-tool start 41 S .
* reboot

copy /etc/postfix/* over from another debian machine.

mkdir logs
mkdir temp

run update-rc.d ljrpcd defaults 50
/etc/init.d/ljrpcd start

* run ssh-keygen, put slave:~/.ssh/identity.pub in
masterweb:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
* put masterweb:~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub in
slave:~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

(work in progress ... much more coming soon)
