Minutes

• The present server setup was explained to Ayush
• Rohan joined late and was there for the discussion on the security software installed on the server and a primer on how DNS records work
• The server crashed in between and it was solved by powering off the server and powering it back on from the Digital Ocean dashboard
• Detailed notes about everything that was discussed was made by Ayush (I will ask him to update the same on the Metakgp:SysAdmin page for later visibility)
• Plans were made to meet again on Tuesday evening so that everyone involved could setup their own instance of a Mediawiki and get a feel for the setup.
