Welcome to Tigris

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a member of the Felidae family and the largest and possibly most dangerous of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 3.3 metres (11 ft) in total length, weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), and having canines up to 4 inches long, the larger tiger subspecies are comparable in size to the biggest extinct felids. Aside from their great bulk and power, their most recognisable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes that overlays near-white to reddish-orange fur, with lighter underparts. The most numerous tiger subspecies is the Bengal tiger while the largest subspecies is the Siberian tiger.

Wait... What?

This present site is the placeholder page for the tigris.fr domain, formerly leapingtiger.org. Said domain is a tiny group of mostly private servers, some of which — read: one of them — are hosting a few public resources. Go check out the Links section for directions to more interesting places. Fear not, they're not all related to tigers.

The domain name — obviously (un)inspired from the tiger's latin name — is in no way related to other tigris websites. All former resources from leapingtiger.org can be accessed on tigris.fr as well. If your website is hosted on tigris and seems unreachable, you may want to check the Network Status page.

2017-11-22: Debian upgrade complete

Hisoka was upgraded to Debian 9 (stretch) today. Apart from some touchy configuration (looking at you dovecot and mariadb) it went pretty well. The server was also rebooted to use the latest available Linux kernel, thus resetting our uptime after nearly 500 uneventful days.

As usual, if you notice some of your stuff is broken after this update, please holler at me and I'll fix it as soon as I can!

Planned Interventions

I'm a bit too busy to do proper planning these days. I mean to do the things listed below. At some point.

Website overhaul and better management of our users.
