KYAU Network is powered by [//www.archlinux.org Arch Linux] and [//kyaulabs.com KYAU Labs]. While once utilizing dedicated servers to power, everything is now located on-site via the local KYAU Labs datacenter with external access being routed through a VPS using a [//www.wireguard.com Wireguard] VPN. KYAU Labs chiefly utilizes Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVM) to separate services onto separate virtual machines (VMs). Each VM and/or VPS is setup using [//gitlab.com/kyaulabs/aarch kyaulabs/aarch].
== {{Icon|notebook}} Security & Reliability ==
Our network has been setup with security and reliability as our two primary focus points. Our DNS server has been setup to achieve an A+ with 100% in all four categories on [//dnsspy.io/scan/kyau.net DNS Spy]. Our web server, running [//www.nginx.org nginx] with [//letsencrypt.org Let's Encrypt] SSL certificates, has been setup to achieve an A+ rating with 100 points in every category on [//www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=kyau.net SSL Labs].

== {{Icon|notebook}} Why Arch Linux? ==
Wiki³ is run on-top of [//www.archlinux.org Arch Linux] at [//www.ovh.com/us/ OVH]. The machine, as seen on the right, is from their dedicated server line and located at their Beauharnois, CA facility in datacenter [//weathermap.ovh.net/#beauharnois6 BHS6]. The wiki itself runs [//www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki] on-top of [//www.nginx.org nginx] with [//letsencrypt.org Let's Encrypt] SSL certificates configured to achieve an A+ rating with 100 points in every category on [//www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=kyau.net SSL Labs].
Arch Linux was an in-house decision not taken lightly, in 2013 the switch from FreeBSD to Arch Linux was made without regret. Running Arch Linux on a server in a production environment is very feasible, provided you know a bit about [[ArchLinux:Security|security]] and keep on top of [//security.archlinux.org/advisory advisories]. That being said we do not live in a perfect world, and server logs are proof of that.
 
Running Arch Linux on a server in a production environment is very feasible, provided you know a bit about [[ArchLinux:Security|security]] and keep on top of [//security.archlinux.org/advisory advisories]. That being said we do not live in a perfect world, and my server logs are proof of that. However since 2013 when I switched my servers over from FreeBSD to Arch Linux I have yet to have a single intrusion.

The following is the complete network setup for everything that runs {{mono|kyau.net}}. While some things could be setup better, this setup was optimized for running everything on one large box doing in-house virtualization instead of running each on a separate VPS and letting someone else do the virtualization for me. In my experience, it can be very beneficial to have bare metal access when things go wrong.
The following is the complete network setup for everything that the KYAU Network is currently running.

One of the things I have always wanted to do since I was a younger was to run a shell provider. Shy of some dabbling with [//www.slackware.com/ Slackware], which I installed from a CDROM I got in the back of a book at the local library (pre-internet joys), this was my first major introduction to Linux and the command line. I spent a good majority of my youth on IRC messing around with "shells". I even got my first major introduction to programming (aside from BASIC and HTML) when I started coding [//docs.eggheads.org/mainDocs/botnet.html#what-is-a-botnet botnet] scripts for [//www.eggheads.org/ eggdrop] in TCL.

Icon KYAU Network

KYAU Network is powered by Arch Linux and KYAU Labs. While once utilizing dedicated servers to power, everything is now located on-site via the local KYAU Labs datacenter with external access being routed through a VPS using a Wireguard VPN. KYAU Labs chiefly utilizes Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVM) to separate services onto separate virtual machines (VMs). Each VM and/or VPS is setup using kyaulabs/aarch.

Icon Security & Reliability

Our network has been setup with security and reliability as our two primary focus points. Our DNS server has been setup to achieve an A+ with 100% in all four categories on DNS Spy. Our web server, running nginx with Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, has been setup to achieve an A+ rating with 100 points in every category on SSL Labs.

Icon Why Arch Linux?

Arch Linux was an in-house decision not taken lightly, in 2013 the switch from FreeBSD to Arch Linux was made without regret. Running Arch Linux on a server in a production environment is very feasible, provided you know a bit about security and keep on top of advisories. That being said we do not live in a perfect world, and server logs are proof of that.
