Sysadmin Notes

Users

The SSH login user for a PANDA instance is the default Ubuntu login: ubuntu. However, in order to keep them isolated, the various processes that makeup PANDA run as a number of different users:

• Login: ubuntu
• Postgres: postgres
• Solr: solr
• uWSGI: panda
• celeryd: panda
• NGINX: www-data

Certain important folders (outside of /var) are also owned by relevant users:

• /opt/solr: solr
• /mnt/panda: panda

The Postgres user that uWSGI and celeryd use to connect is also called panda.
