Additionally, fairlystable.org is a Git/Ikiwiki project hosting service using the freely available [Piny][1] management engine.

Most repository management functions are available over SSH and HTTPS. To create a shell account, ssh to newuser@fairlystable.org or go to the [newuser][7] page in the [commands][6] list. Current features are documented with the 'pinyhelp' command and an intended feature matrix is available [here][5]. These shell accounts are carefully restricted to Piny management functions; don't expect general purpose shell accounts.

You are welcome to host random repositories here; if they wind up taking up significant resources, I might ask you to either cough up money or ask you to host your own [Piny][1] instance somewhere else.

Piny.be's service is intended to be easily replicable and easily installable using the [Piny][1] packages. [Piny][1] is flexible automated glue for existing POSIX infrastructure, including

* Git
* Ikiwiki
* PAM authentication
* SSH
* git-daemon
* standard security capabilities
* Apache (if you want PAM web auth)

...hopefully to such an extent that it can fit into existing repository hosting solutions without too much issue. [Piny][1] is still stabilizing and you're probably best off tracking changes and building Debian packages directly from [git][2] until we get to the point where releases are worth maintaining.

If you need help with or want improvements to either the hosting service or the engine, you can bug Joe Rayhawk over [IRC][3] or [email][4].
