Thanks for the clarifications. I don't know if it's a reasonable
request, but I'd like to keep dc-team in CC as I'm in new territory here
and would like some mentoring/advices.

> 1) who would be the service owners?

I guess I can be. As far as I understand, this involves:

* managing user accounts and permissions on the instance
* updating KanBoard when new updates come out

I would like it if someone else can share the load/mentor me, but then
again, I'm not sure I understand completely what being a "service owner"
entitles.

I'm not running KanBoard myself at the moment but I plan to do that at
my job soonish. I guess something like this would work fine, with the
assumption that the DB runs on a separate machine:

*Web server*: KanBoard is a "simple" PHP web app. I'm used to Apache, so
that would be ideal. I'm not sure if as "service owner" I'll be playing
with VHosts or if that is all managed through Puppet by DSA.

*Database*: AFAIK you like PostgreSQL and have a dedicated database
somewhere. KanBoard can either use SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL and I
don't mind.

*Disk space*: Downloading the latest KanBoard release and unzipping it,
I get 24Mb? I don't know what is your normal guideline, but I'd be fine
with a total disk space of 20G if the database is hosted on a dedicated
machine.

People _can_ upload files to the instance, but I don't think this is a
very common use case.

So my answer would be "not a lot, how much do you normally allocate for
that kind of service?"

*RAM*: 2Gb? Is that too much? I guess 1Gb would work, but then again I
have no idea how much KB is used atm...

*CPU*: Jeez, another good one. 2 cores? 1 core would surely work, but
I'm not sure it'll support the load if people suddenly start using KB a lot.

*Packages*: from what I can read in the doc, the only packages needed
apart from Apache are:

* php7.0
* php-gd
* php-pgsql
* unzip

Which are very common dependencies for PHP web apps.

Apart from KanBoard running on a webserver, the only other thing we are
likely to run on that server is
https://0xacab.org/lavamind/python-rss2irc, the KanBoard IRC bot. This
can wait though, as it's running on lavamind's server and is not a
priority to migrate.

> 3) what's the expected SLA (roughly)?  should/can the service be
redundant?

I have no idea what a SLA is :(

I don't think this needs to be redundant at all, as KB is not a critical
system and if it dies, people can wait a few hours until I fix it.

I don't think this should be a "public" Debian service for now. I'm open
to making it "public" in the future, but my main concern at the moment
is migrating it off a personal machine so DebConf18 folks can keep using it.
