Thinkin’ Docs!

The Thinkin’ Rocks* documentation repository!

Here we store all of the technical documentation: how to handle events, run and access services, apply for things, how to deploy stuff and so on. This set of pages is the ultimate authority on all technical decisions. It is maintained by our wonderful IT team.

Protocols

• Nerd Out is a big event we are running. We, of course, have a protocol for running it.

Pages

• kanboard.thinkin-rocks.local, a Kanban board for tracking our tasks and progress.

• gitea.thinkin-rocks.local, a Gitea instance for hosting our runners and git repositories.

• secrets.thinkin-rocks.local, our Vaultwarden instance where we keep all our secrets.

• docs.thinkin-rocks.local, the central point where we try to document everything.

• files.thinkin-rocks.local, a small shared file services for any general-purpose files that need to be accessible from all devices.

Services

RFCs

We have our own RFCs! They serve as formal spec for the decisions that we make. You can view our RFCs.
