Currently most sysadmin documentation is on OLPC internal wiki, which is generally only open to NDA'ed employees and select contractors. |
|||
See [[User:Mstone/Commentaries/Infrastructure_1|Michael's proposed infrastructure-documentation-system requirements]]. |
|||
Here are some proposals on how to publish and protect i-g documentation. |
|||
1) Put docs, passwords and other information onto a protected area of |
|||
teamwiki. |
|||
2) Put the information onto public wiki, and use encryption such as |
|||
gpg to encipher sensitive data such as passwords. |
|||
3) Use git, and rely on git access controls for protection. |
|||
4) Put data into a text file on the root directory of a machine. |
|||
Please edit and add arguments pro and con. |
