Cito Basics
Logging in
To log into your Cito server you will need to use an SSH client. Cito does not have a graphical user interface, by design. The default user is admin
.
To start with, one admin user exists on the system and this user has sudo access.
Caution
Please be cautious when using sudo
if you're not an experienced system administrator. It's easy to cause damage to a system or break server functionality by doing so.
Prostack retains root
access for the purposes of management.
Once you are logged in you can run commands, view website contents, and navigate around.
User switching
When working on individual sites, you should switch to that user using sudo su - <username>
. You can also SSH in directly as a user.
When you create a new Cito site, we automatically copy SSH keys from admin
to the new user. This behaviour can be toggled with the -x
flag in psnew
.
User layout
Each website has it’s own system user and home directory, based in /home
. This approach keeps individual sites isolated from each other to maintain security.
You can use the pslist
command to view a list of websites with their corresponding usernames and home directories.
