Description
The ITSquad takes care of the IT-infrastructure of the pirate party. Contact if you want to do an IT-project, need an email address, have requests for a Crew, would like to add a feature to the site, etc.
We can also help with finding, and sometimes providing, tools and services whose values are in line with the values of the Pirateparty. Take a look on our Pirates Selection page for more information.

Parley
Parley is a place where we provide simple services open for everyone. All are free software.
Upgrading
Upgrading can be done from the admin interface or from the cli over ssh. Before updating applications, make a backup. Backups will be created automatically during upgrade, but if you do them manually, you can check that they haven't failed. When doing risky upgrades, please take a snapshot from the Hetzner admin console. An example of a risky upgrade is for migrations like Debian Stretch to Debian Buster.
Landing page
The landing page is a simple HTML page with css and javascript (but has graceful degradation for those who want to disable javascript). The files can be found on our git repo. Updates should be pushed to there. More information can be found in the README.md
On the Parley server the files are stored in /var/www/my_webapp__2/www. It uses git, so updating is cd /var/www/my_webapp__2/www; git pull.
There is also an sftp connection (but can probably be removed since updating happens with git).
Jirafeau
When updating Jirafeau the config file gets overwritten. There's an issue, but it doesn't seem like something that will be fixed soon https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/jirafeau_ynh/issues/49 . Make sure you test before and after the upgrade if everything is still as it should be. Notable is that the default time to keep a file is a week, the maximum is a month.
Also note that we've added a file /home/yunohost.app/jirafeau-filesystem as a filesystem so we can limit the total uploads. See https://blog.ilja.space/~/MyLearningCurve/limiting-total-size-of-uploads-in-jirafeau
When removing Jirafeau the filesystem should be removed manually, but don't forget to also change /etc/fstab otherwise the server may not boot anymore! (See the blogpost to know what was done so you can remove safely, best is to make a take a snapshot from the Hetzner admin console beforehand so it can be put back if something fails.)
