Hi @codexx666,
Several services on the current hosting are already under configuration management (ansible), so this guide can be just a short README in this repo (non-public currently). another point: Secrets sharing among all parties isn't solved yet (ie various CI access tokens etc). I wounder if we should organize a meeting/call (mumble / nextcloud talk or similar) to discuss this topic? Sincerely, PS: Ok if I delete the obvious ad-SPAM post above me? |
Hi ! Folken and Max replied meanwhile. it seems that we are all quite busy at the moment, so my suggestion that we pick up that issue end of January / Februar next year. But as I stated above - it was the quickest setup we could do around May, but it's also far from "cheap". So I want to relocate in the next months. You bringing some up a good points we need to clarify and define. I think a online meeting would be best. I could setup for example a MS Teams meeting or we use something like mumble, nextcloud or whatever ;-) Let's get to that in January and find a date which works for all involved people. Ok? Regards ps: yes... strange posting. probably f***** spam |
80/Monthly $ is a lot for what we have. We currently use:
we currently run:
In 231 days we did about 1.6TB of traffic |
Hi guys, I just want to raise that topic again. How do we want to proceed? How about having a (virtual)meeting/call this month? If something else would be better, than please propose it here. topics
How about a doodle for finding a date that works for everyone involved? regards |
Hi there, due to COVID-19 I had some free time today picked up on the XCSoar hosting issue. Regarding the server I've checked today a few hosting providers and the offers for dedicated and virtual root servers. As I see it, we don't really need a huge or high performance system. The market is quite big and a lot of providers offer dedicated hardware root servers. I'm running other servers at Hetzner and have had so far only good experiences with them. I would make the suggestion to pick one of those used servers for around 30EUR. What do you think? Who can do the migration of the website? looking forward for your input and thoughts... regards |
Addition Maybe we can have a virtual meeting to discuss details? |
Check your aws contract. If one commits long term to a vm you save up to 80% on the costs. its really the flexible volume that you pay for. https://aws.amazon.com/savingsplans/ Hetzner is nice, but its the one we moved away from because they depreacted the server hardware. |
Hi, yes I checked that. that's definitely an improvement, but it's still more expensive than other solutions.
Hmm... was XCSoar running in a virtual / hosted environment? Again: |
Ok i created a discord server: https://discord.gg/ygJdhE @kerel-fs |
Hi,
we need to clarify some details regarding the hosting for the XCSoar website.
In a quick action we relocated the XCSoar website to an AWS EC2 instance to avoid a longer downtime.
Since beginning of May we switched to this (temporary) hosting solution.
The EC2 instance is doing 'fine' at the moment, but it generates way to much costs. Approx 60-80$ / month.
So... I strongly advise that we find a different solution here.
If anybody can provide a long term hosting solution - great!
Otherwise I suggest that we move to a new rented hosting solution, for example with the german hosting provider Hetzner. My experience with Hetzner was quite ok so far over the last 10 years.
So I suggest we could get a hosting solution there.
To relocate we need a guide / documentation what needs to be setup / configured.
we should define some requirements
we need to assign some responsibilities (who can manage the DNS entries, ...)
long term: how can we "fund" the hosting? it's not that much, but it sums up over the month & years
I've tried to contact Max Kellermann and Folken a few times via EMail, but so far no response. :-/
