This is really appreciated and welcome in this time of rebuilds, thanks!
Now the bottleneck has clearly become the front-end (at least in terms
of RAM, disk space, CPU.) I think we have to consider moving the
front-end elsewhere, possibly on this new machine or the one provided by
TUM.
For that, we’ll need volunteers to help with:
1. general sysadmin work.
2. packaging of Hydra and its dependencies (Hydra is written in Perl
and depends on a number of Perl libraries.)
For the brave hacker, there’s also this option:
2b. Write a Hydra replacement in Scheme, probably building upon
David’s neat guix-web.
Volunteers are eligible for a beverage offered by me. :-)
