Welcome to the 雨HUT wiki. For now, assume that the totality of [the sr.ht wiki](https://man.sr.ht/) applies here until further notice.

# FAQ

(Frequently-Asked by the guy I just made up)

## Why the name?

This place is run by ~aleteoryx, whose website is <u>**a**</u>leteoryx.<u>**me**</u>. ame! あめ! 雨!
雨 is Japanese for rain, and with the backend software being called SourceHut, rain-hut seemed like a good name.
This is also the reason for the tagline.

## Why SourceHut?

The admin is both a snob and tired of hosting large software projects.
The largest self-hosted git forges are bulky, messy pieces of software.
Many also give the admin some sort of bad vibe.

SourceHut is by no means a small project, but it is simple to host and significantly simpler on the frontend than any alternative.
The admin also likes that its email-based features essentially allow accountless contributions.

## What services are running?

- [project hub](https://amehut.dev)
- [git repos](https://git.amehut.dev)
- [mercurial repos](https://hg.amehut.dev)
- [wikis](https://man.amehut.dev) (you're here right now!)
- [mailing lists](https://lists.amehut.dev)
- [issue trackers](https://lists.amehut.dev)

The subdomains have parity with sr.ht subdomains, e.g. `meta.sr.ht` == `meta.amehut.dev`.

## Any services inbound?

A CI service is inbound, but will require more setup effort (egads, touching wireguard configs!).

Eventually, a pages solution will be setup, likely pending on the admin learning `mod_md`.

Similarly, a pastes solution will eventually be setup.

These last two are both considered non-critical, and easily handled by other services.

## What's this thing running on, anyway?

A 2008 Dell Inspiron with 2 gigs of DDR2 and a Core 2 Duo.

Yep.

Pic coming soon!

## Anything else I should know?

The mailserver has some haphazard bits of configuration that might impact spam filtering.

The admin will fix it.

Eventually.

Also the API does not work currently. A fix is inbound.

## Well that's probably fine, how do I sign up?

Right now? You don't.
If you know the admin, contact them off-of-here and ask for an account.
If you don't, you're SOL. Try regular SourceHut lol.
