What is the impact of this approach on internet dependence? The main
problem I have is to create an offline
service with content. This has led to the creation of 'bernie', a copy
of the schoolserver on an external 1TB drive.
There are, of course, many problems with dependencies. I view resolving
these as the task in making bernie. I am
not sure what is meant about cross contamination. There are many
duploicates in the current bernie - for example, Rachel
includes a sizable number of items from the Gutenberg project as does
OLE Nepal's Pustakalaya. There is enough hard drive
space so this duplication is no problem.

Greetings!
I haven't written to this list in a while.
I am working with some other OLPC-SF members to package and make
available Pathagar using the snaps (http://snapcraft.io platform). We
are currently doing this as part of a two-day hackathon
(http://hackathon.sfsu.edu/challenges/snap-ify-pathagar).
Of course, the work continues past this hackathon, but let's see how
far we can get today. Right now, we are using the NextCloud snap
(https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap) as a base example and
adding/removing to it to see if we can put together a snap.
If you haven't used snaps before, try it out the NextCloud snap. On
Ubuntu/Debian, try "sudo snap install nextcloud" Give it a few
minutes, and when installed go to http://<youripaddress> and it should
be there.
Our proposal and approach is to first do this with Pathagar, and then
see if we can do this with all the other services on the school
server. This will give deploymentw a menu approach to adding services
without worrying about dependencies and cross-contamination and such.
It's a little bit more work to architect services that do talk to each
other, but we think that in the end it's a much cleaner solution.
Ideas? Comments?
Please let us know. Andi Gros, Aaron Borden and myself are working on
this currently.
cheers,
Sameer
