Whois registry

aka The registry.

The registry contains:

AS numbers assignations
Subnet assignations
DNS root zone for dn42.

Web interface

Nixnodes provides a nice web interface, that allows you to add/edit records easily. It is available at https://io.nixnodes.net/?registry. To add records, you must first create a maintainer object.

A read-only interface is also available at http://ix.ucis.dn42/dn42/ (public or 172.22.166.3). The used PHP scripts are available from UFO a.k.a. Ivo at request.

Address space

There is nice 3djs visualisation showing current address space usage: http://dataviz.polynome.dn42/dn42-netblock-visu/registry.html [172.23.184.124, public. The input data is taken from the registry.

Another visualisation shows the prefixes seen by BGP: http://dataviz.polynome.dn42/dn42-netblock-visu/index.html [172.23.184.124, public.

Monotone

Monotone is an distributed revision control system. Monotone tracks revisions to files, groups sets of revisions into changesets, and tracks history across renames. The design principle is distributed operation making heavy use of cryptographic primitives to track file revisions (via the SHA-1 secure hash) and to authenticate user actions (via RSA cryptographic signatures). Each participant maintains their own revision history store in a local SQLite database. Monotone is especially strong in its support of a diverge/merge workflow, which it achieves in part by always allowing commit before merge. Revisions are exchanged using the custom netsync protocol which shares some conceptual ground with rsync and cvs.

Monotone servers

crest: mtn.crest.dn42
welterde: headend.srv.welterde.de(46.4.248.203)
somerandomnick: mtn1.srn.dn42(172.22.131.102)
dracoling: dn42.smrsh.net (net.smrsh.dn42)

Monotone branches

net.dn42.registry: Contains the registry and some related code

Setup

mtn genkey you@domain.tld
mtn pubkey you@domain.tld # send the output to some $monotone_server operator(do NOT send the keypair!)
mtn clone 'mtn://$monotone_server/?net.dn42.*' --branch net.dn42.registry
cd net.dn42.registry
$add_your_objects
mtn add --unknown
mtn ci -k you@domain.tld
mtn sync
