Yay, thanks bryce.
Already, a mailman3 service is under development, which when done
will
enable us to migrate our existing mailing lists off of
SourceForge. I'm
hoping we'll start migration within a few months and complete it some
time this year. Mailing lists are the last bit of our infrastructure
remaining on SF, so this will enable us to finally retire it. Yay.
This is a long term dream.
Other services (mediawiki, mattermost, forums, planetplanet, et al)
can
also be hosted here. If you're interested in working on setting up a
service for Inkscape or migrating an existing one, and are either
conversant in ansible or interested in learning, please let me know
and
I'll help get you started.
I'm interested in a setting up a staging site for the website, athough
I'm not ansible literate although it doesn't really need much. Just
nginx, python and a few libs.
I'm also setting up a temporary web host that won't be
managed
through
ansible, that we can use to bootstrap and to host trivial
things. This
will have a basic apache web server and ample bulk storage space, but
otherwise will be extremely no-frills - no PHP, no CGI, no apache
mods/
It should be suitable for static HTML and basic http-based file
sharing.
More on this to come, or drop me a line if you can't wait.
Shouldn't it be nginx for consistancy? Apache's a bit of a beast for
just simple file hosting (even though it's CentOS default httpd) are
you planning on Ubuntu machines or CentOS machines? (or does it not
matter?)
