 2.4 behind nginx, `.htaccess` rewriting active. Files copied over the network share are **not
 writable by the web server user `http`**, and the share does not let permissions be changed.

+Installed there on 2026-10-11. Things specific to this server:
+
+- command-line PHP is `/usr/local/bin/php84`, and needs `-d memory_limit=512M` for Flarum's
+  console (`cache:clear` runs out of memory with the default 128M);
+- MariaDB 10 listens on port 3307: database host `127.0.0.1:3307`;
+- SSH is on port 27 and has no `scp`/`sftp`: send a file with
+  `ssh -p 27 user@host 'cat > /volume2/web/oldcomputers-forum/storage/machines.json' < forum/import/machines.json`;
+- the forum folder is `/volume2/web/oldcomputers-forum`.
+
 No Composer is needed on the server: `make forum-bundle` builds `forum/import/forum.tar.gz`, a
 complete Flarum 2 tree (PHP 8.4) with the Embed and museum extensions and a top-level
 `.htaccess` that routes every request into `public/`, so `config.php`, `storage/` and `vendor/`
