Last week, I didn't know there was such server (in fact, it seems to have been launched _after_ I sent that mail). *If* you have an account on labsconsole.wikimedia.org, *and* you go to https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NovaAddress *and* you know what a bastion host is, then you may figure it out.

It turns out you registered wmflabs.org I had been trying things like foo.wmflabs.wikimedia.org or foo.wmflabs >> 5) Reading the git instructions make me feel sick > > Well, let's give you an account, and you can fix it.

Maybe > listing the RSA keys for hosts with public IPs is a good idea... For gerrit, which is everything i could connect to. It is shown on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#settings,ssh-keys though, so you can take it out. >> 7) Why is there a unicorn ? >> > > Because this is the place for magic to happen. > > - Ryan /me waits for the magic to happen... So far, it still doesn't seem useful. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
