Installation

• Install RocketChat on the VPS (details to follow shortly - waiting for bitcoin payment with a low fee to clear).

1. Use WebRTC troubleshooter and see if any problems.
2. Enable Jitsi
3. Tell me what to do to connect to it!
4. I may need a little help setting up a backup for it, depends on how easy to use virmach.com's backup stuff is.

That's all really, anything that is configurable in the UI I should be able to do. Hopefully, we will have a little time left over for chatting on the platform and ironing out any problems that arise.

Backup

Just some notes, I need to check how reliable a roll-your-own backup thing would be, compared to what virmach provides (at a price).

• Checked with virmach - they do include 'free' backups but it sounds like just one, and they charge a 10 dollar recovery fee if you need to restore. So, we need a backup plan of our own.
  • more than one e.g. daily plus weekly
  • automatic - cron job maybe
  • initiated from outside (??)
  • maybe back up to dropbox, it keeps old deleted files for restoration so you can overcome the 2GB limit effectively.
  • Need multiple backups in case one overwrites a good backup with a faulty one.
• scp does not properly preserve all inode attributes. Consider using rsync -aHAX
