Information on this page is intended for the Tech Team.
Email Accounts
- STAR's emails are managed via admin.google.com/standrewsradio.com
- STAR has a G Suite legacy account (i.e. created before December 2012), allowing the creation of unlimited free accounts, each with 15GB of storage.
- We started using G Suite around May 2008 (citation needed)
- Email addresses for committee members should follow [email protected].
- There are also multiple groups, e.g. news@, music@, programming@, and hello@. Committee members can be added to groups to receive emails sent to the group. Emails cannot be sent from a group address.
- Both users and groups may have aliases, e.g. bo@ redirects to manager@.
- The invalid user account, *@, will catch any emails sent to non-existent addresses within our domain. This is useful for unlocking old STAR pages connected to long-departed committee members.
Stream URLs
Domains
- STAR also owns standrewsradio.co.uk; it should simply redirect to the main site.
- Domains are managed by Rachel Hughes, Union Design & Marketing Manager ([email protected])
- The rapid.standrewsradio.com subdomain was associated with RapidSwitch; STAR moved from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean in 2019, so no rapid. URLs should now be in use.
Subdomains
- studio.standrewsradio.com: the version of the Buzzbox displayed in the studio, showing listener counter and help section.
- listen.standrewsradio.com: a separate version of the Buzzbox.
- buzzbox.standrewsradio.com: the listen. subdomain without the STAR logo at the top.
- help.standrewsradio.com: contains the help section, which is also shown within the studio. subdomain.
- archive.standrewsradio.com: you are here.
- status.standrewsradio.com: website status (subdomain created 5th Feb 2020).
- manage.standrewsradio.com: .svg version of 2012 Gorilla Joe logo.
manage.standrewsradio.com/grafana: graph of listener stats (Grafana removed 5th Feb 2020 due to unreliability and a planned move to Google Analytics).- manage.standrewsradio.com/icecast: global server stats, and list of mount points.
- manage.standrewsradio.com/netdata: extensive server stats.
Tools
- Podcast Recorder: shell script that records, stores and cleans up archived podcasts.
- ic2ga: Java programme that forwards Icecast statistics to Google Analytics.
- Stream Status: PHP page that checks if the stream is currently silent.
