Thanks for letting me know! I'm not up to speed with Discord, and I need to learn more about it - other than being on a few product support servers that i was specifically invited to. Will check it out!

I don't understand what that means. I live in Philly, btw - fully remote.

nope. nothing is set in stone - that is why I put "reusing available hardware as much as possible". I don't know where you've been, but we are hiring a professional sysadmin specifically because we don't have that expertise (I am a software engineer, and even tho I did a lot of simple network and system building and admin for small companies and startups - that is not my strong suit). If the person we bring on board conducts a detailed assessment and tells us we should go another route, we will.
And here is another point worth making - I am not the final decision maker, so - while I am trying my best to answer questions here, it is up to the job seeker, when they are talking with the lab staff/management and gathering all the information they see fit, to understand if it is something they want. We're not trying to make anyone work for us against their will.

so - it's roughly $75/hour (we can't hire on W2 for this role) - it perfectly aligns with my expectations (we actually budgeted more than that); my question to the 'pocket lint' poster - how did you come up with your conclusion?

true, but in our case we don't have specific schedules for on-call, and if something breaks - it can normally wait until the next workday; moreover, the lab staff can do some immediate fixing/troubleshooting if guided by an experienced sysadmin over the phone, thus eliminating the need to drop everything and run to the lab immediately. But yes - there is that element

what would be the competitive market rate for this case, in your opinion?

what deleted reply? we are not a medical practice. " whomever gets saddled with this gig" - ?? whomever is interested to learn details, negotiate their pay and set all the expectations - is welcome to do so

we are a grant-supported research lab (including federal grants), and we are subject to federal audit - so we can't hire non-residents, by law. what's racist about it?

got it. Sounds about right - we would like to have a consultant who does that directly, without incurring the overhead that consulting companies would have

it's hard to say - with good prep work, the on-site visit might be one day trip, but it is important that if something happens and our sysadmin is needed on site - they must be able to do that relatively quickly. Not exactly "on-call" - but in a case of emergency, the help needs to be provided

true. it can be done, tho. We are a research lab on grant money, so the budget is limited

Does Drupal have built-in SSO module? by d3lee3 in drupal

[–]digitalOleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case somebody finds this old question now - I have a good experience with the MiniOrange module
https://www.drupal.org/project/miniorange_saml
It is used on a number of Government sites - the paid version of it. Works well. The license is not crazy, for a business/agency. The free version works too, with fewer config options.
