I am using the cheapest plan in http://www.rizie.com/vps/, which I think should be enough for the time being. I found this provider by searching for cheap VPS recommendations in http://news.ycombinator.com. The VPS is running Ubuntu 10.04, and the configuration is the same I had at Slicehost: an Apache front-end serving static files and proxying requests three different Xavante instances (for luarocks.org, keplerproject.org/en, and keplerproject.org/br). Each Xavante instance is independent from the others, they are different Sputnik installations. The migration process for the luarocks.org wiki was pretty painless, I didn't even have to recompile Lua, just had to install libreadline5 in the new VPS. The two Kepler wikis got a brand new Sputnik installation, and it was a matter of moving wiki-data and setting configuration parameters (salts, nice urls). I decided to just keep the new Sputnik layout and style, instead of trying to port the old ones. This part of Sputnik seems to have changed a lot, and the new layout is nicer anyway. :-) Apache may be too heavyweight for a 128Mb RAM VPS (although the virtual machine actually has 512Mb RAM), so I am thinking of moving to a Lighty or Nginx setup. -- Fabio Mascarenhas _______________________________________________ Kepler-Project mailing list Kepler-Project@lists.luaforge.net http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kepler-project http://www.keplerproject.org/
