# FAQ

> Frequently asked questions about atl.sh.

## What is atl.sh?

atl.sh is a pubnix (public-access Unix server) run by the All Things Linux community. You get a shell account with web hosting, Gemini, Gopher, and Finger support.

## How do I get an account?

Sign up through the [ATL Portal](https://portal.allthingslinux.org). Your shell account is provisioned automatically.

## How do I connect?

```bash theme={null}
ssh your-username@atl.sh
```

## How do I make a web page?

Edit `~/public_html/index.html`. Your page will be live at `https://atl.sh/~your-username`.

## What is Gemini?

Gemini is a lightweight internet protocol — a simpler alternative to the web. Edit `~/public_gemini/index.gmi` to create your capsule.

## What is Gopher?

Gopher is a classic internet protocol from 1991. Edit `~/public_gopher/gophermap` to create your gopher hole.

## What is Finger?

Finger is a Unix protocol for looking up information about users. Edit `~/.plan` to share what you're working on. Anyone can run `finger your-username@atl.sh` to see it.

## What games are available?

* **Nethack** — classic roguelike with a shared high score table (`nethack`)
* **Botany** — grow a virtual plant; neighbors can water it while you're away (`botany`)
* **Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup** — modern roguelike (`crawl`)
* **Angband** — Tolkien-themed dungeon crawler (`angband`)
* **SLASHEM** — NetHack variant (`slashem`)

## Can I install my own software?

You can install software to `~/.local/` using language package managers (pip, npm, gem, cargo). System packages are managed by admins — suggest additions on IRC `#support`.

## How do I upload files?

You can use **SFTP** (over SSH) or **FTPS** (Explicit FTP over TLS). Your home directory is the root for both.

## What are the resource limits?

* Disk: 5GB soft / 6GB hard (XFS/Ext4 Quotas)
* Processes (Tasks): 200 max (systemd cgroups)
* Memory: 1.5GB RAM max
* CPU: 200% (2 cores) max
