Anyone who enjoys writing is welcome to join Cosmic.Voyage. To do
|
|
so you will need to choose a username for the system, and create
|
|
an SSH pubkey to log in. This is a public access unix system, so
|
|
you will be working in a command-line shell environment to
|
|
interact with the system. Getting started instructions:
|
|
|
|
For Linux Users:
|
|
- open a terminal
|
|
- generate a key using ssh-keygen (just accept all the defaults)
|
|
- your secret key is the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa
|
|
- your public key is the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
|
|
- send the id_rsa.pub file to register [at] cosmic.voyage along
|
|
with your desired username
|
|
- when your account has been approved, connect using ssh and your
|
|
user name, e.g. ssh asimov@cosmic.voyage
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Mac Users:
|
|
- use Command+Space to search for Terminal
|
|
- generate a key using ssh-keygen (just accept all the defaults)
|
|
- your secret key is the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa
|
|
- your public key is the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
|
|
- send the id_rsa.pub file to register [at] cosmic.voyage along
|
|
with your desired username
|
|
- when your account has been approved, connect using ssh and your
|
|
user name, e.g. ssh asimov@cosmic.voyage
|
|
|
|
For Windows Users:
|
|
- download the latest version of PuTTY
|
|
- use puttygen to generate a key
|
|
- save private and public keys
|
|
- send the public key to register [at] cosmic.voyage, along with
|
|
your desired username
|
|
- when your account has been approved, start pageant (this will
|
|
put an icon of a computer wearing a hat into the System tray)
|
|
- right click the icon and choose View Keys
|
|
- click the Add Keys button
|
|
- select the private key you created up above and open it
|
|
- start putty and connect to your username at cosmic.voyage, e.g.
|
|
asimov@cosmic.voyage
|
|
|
|
Once you log in to the system for the first time, you will have a
|
|
welcome email waiting for you. You can read this message by
|
|
running the 'alpine' or 'mutt' commands to open the respective
|
|
mail program. Alpine is easier for those unfamiliar with the
|
|
command line. Your welcome email will explain how to get started
|
|
on the system and where to look for help.
