I am actually not working with the server admin staff, but would be very interested. Also I have been discussing on and off via skype with Florian about options and server side things. Was hoping to have a more indepth chat with him about it and about how to move forward, but things came up and he was very busy. I am hoping this week I can discuss this further with him. As for me getting a LAMP stack installed on linux isnt a problem neither setting up.
I am sadly very busy, but I did not forget about you, I'll try to ping you when I find time. TDF is pro bono for me, so sometimes, the real life kicks in and needs its time...
Florian did mention the TDF getting another or some more servers, In all
That's on the agenda, but I doubt that it will happen this year, to be honest. It's a matter of money and time. But in the long run, more hardware will be ordered, because it is needed.
honesty i would rather test directly on physical hardware if that is goign to be where the forums eventually get deployed, as all we would need to do is let everyone know that here is the forums that they can start being used.
Why would you want to test on physical hardware directly? Where would be the difference?
Another thing I have noticed in my experiences in testing on the actual hardware vs virtual machines, is that issues might arise on physical hardware and not in a virtual machine and vise versa.
We are just talking about forum software, not rocket science. ;-) So, I really doubt we'll run into problems here if we test it in a VM.
Florian would it be an issue if we tested on physical hardware instead of a virtual machine for the above mentioned reason of ensuring no issues arise both in a vm and not physical machine and vice versa?
Yes, it would be, as I don't have any spare server where people can test software. I can offer a VM, but that's it.
