What do we want to host ourselves?
Clearly we don't want to host anything that can't be upgraded reasonably
easily. I.e. not Wikka.
We already outsource our git repository (Github), and file downloads (Google
Code).
The server currently runs:
- Mailing lists (Mailman); this could possibly be outsourced free.
- Several websites with and without SSL. This could be done on any php host,
but we need multiple IP addresses.
- MANTIS. This is quite heavy.
- Our current wiki Wikka (NOT PACKAGED, has to be manually kept up to date).
It will soon run:
- Two MediaWiki wiki's (doc-fr and our new wiki migrated from sourceforge).
This is reasonably easy to set up and upgrade, we can use the debian package
with multiple instances.
- Possibly Lurker, although there is an argument for entirely outsourcing
mailing list archives, or just relying on the very basic support built in to
mantis.
A side-issue is whether we want help (volunteers) with system administration,
and whether we can trust people who come forward. Do we have any policy on who
should have root access? If you want to help then mail me ...
Do we really want to host any of the above ourselves?
IMHO we should outsource all these generic tasks. Our core expertise is
developing the Freenet, not hosting websites/wikis/maillists/... on the
internet.
