Shells services

Services

Main server

Web

We run an Apache web server to host our own and our users web content. By default you will get a username.insomnia247.nl website with your shell account.

See the websites page for more details.

Database

We run a MariaDB server for database service on our main server. We do not create one by default but you can requests as many as you need using the manager command. If you require additional users or special permissions for your database, please ask a staff member to configure this for you.

You will receive a unique username and password for each database.

E-Mail

Every user gets an email address on our server that can be used to both send and receive email. The email address is username@insomnia247.nl. You can use this mailbox over SSH with a client like mutt or alpine, or use a traditional email client like Thunderbird or Outlook.

If your mail client supports autoconfig XML files, it should be able to pull down the correct configuration automatically. Alternatively you can configure SMTP, IMAP or POP3 by hand. Each of these only support authenticating over TLS secured channels. Your username and password will be the same as those you log into your SSH account with.

We also provide a webmail client as part of our Nextcloud service.
