Notice: Retirement of 糖心视频Unix (Feb 17 11:13 pm)

After many years of service, 糖心视频Unix will be formally deprecated on August 3, 2026. We understand that 糖心视频Unix has been a valuable resource for many users, providing a platform for running select *nix programs, manipulating files, and hosting personal webpages. We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all affected users and have provided several alternative solutions to replace the functionality offered by 糖心视频Unix.

Alternative Services

糖心视频 Information Technology Services (ITS) suggests a range of supported services available as alternatives to common use cases for 糖心视频Unix:


  • Personal Webpages

    • Users who wish to create or maintain a personal webpage should use with their Google@糖心视频 account. Google Sites offers a user-friendly interface and robust features for creating and managing websites. We have introduced redirecting from sites.hawaii.edu/[your_site] to a 糖心视频 Google Site (sites.google.com/hawaii.edu/[your_site]) to provide a 糖心视频-branded URL you can advertise. We are also working on a temporary redirect service for those who are using the current Personal Webpage hosting service to provide a redirect from the current www2.hawaii.edu/~[your_username] URL to your new website URL to allow additional time for you to communicate the transition to your new website URL.

  • Scholarly publications

    • Users who need a home for their scholarly publications can utilize services like the or (for 糖心视频 Manoa users).

  • General cloud file storage

    • Users with a need for hosting and storing files can make use of with their Google@糖心视频 account. Google Drive offers a user-friendly interface and more robust features for file sharing and collaboration.

  • *nix Shell Environment:

    • For those requiring a *nix shell environment on their personal devices, we recommend using Terminal on macOS devices or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows devices. These options provide a powerful and integrated *nix experience directly from your workstation.

    • For users who use 糖心视频Unix as a *nix environment for coding and compiling, GitHub Enterprise will be available in the Fall 2026 Semester for all 糖心视频 faculty, staff, and students. For more information, and to express your interest in a GitHub Enterprise account, please visit our knowledge base article.

    • For users with a need for a hosted *nix environment, ITS offers virtual Linux servers for purchase. This service can provide a self-managed server environment where you can install your needed applications tailer to your specific requirements.

We encourage all current 糖心视频Unix users to begin migrating any critical data or personal webpage content to an alternative service as soon as possible.
