pypy services hosting / action needed!

Hi folks, for the last several years i cared for hosting these pypy services: - pypy.org (static generated html) - bugs.pypy.org (roundup instance, postfix server) - speed.python.org (django app) These services are living on two rented servers which cost me per-month and i am finally getting rid of them in January 2013. IIRC Maciej and others had various ideas (last year) on where the pypy services could better live. Any progress on this? ASFAIK the PSF is willing to offer a VM that we could use, at least for pypy.org and bugs.pypy.org. However, i haven't yet heart back from Noah Kantrowitz. I contacted him twice in recent weeks. If somebody has other contacts to try, go ahead and maybe CC me to avoid chaos. Note that i actually don't want to drive these efforts but offer my help in helping to migrate. I'd be happy if the currently active pypy devs determine a plan of action and drive it. best, holger

What kind of traffic are you seeing? perhaps we could offer some free hosting...

Two things: - as said i'd like to act based on a joint decision from the group. I can try to attend an IRC meeting to answer questions about the status quo. - after that and if the group wants it this way, could you start with migrating speed.pypy.org which is the heaviest service and create a speed2.pypy.org (just mail me privately the target IP address)? best, holger

So let's wait for a group decision.
Right now, we have extra servers sitting around not doing much. I'm for moving all three services there. Fijal and me have access, and I'm sure anyone else that needs it would have access too. A bientôt, Armin.

I have a slight preference for the PSF servers if it's possible, I'll get in touch with Noah and see what I can do to help move this along. Alex On Thu, Dec 6, 2012 at 9:11 AM, Antonio Cuni <anto.cuni@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi again, any progress on internal discussions regarding the hosting questions? Note that speed.pypy.org is the most important from the list as it is the most expensive, sitting on an otherwise mostly unused machine. best, holger On Thu, Dec 06, 2012 at 15:23 +0000, holger krekel wrote:

Hi all, as to migrating speed.pypy.org, how is it related to speed.python.org? just stumbled over a thread discussing the latter here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/speed/2012-October/000224.html There is even an (empty) instance running setup by Miquel Torres (the author of codespeed, the software behind speed.pypy.org) at: http://speed.python.org:8080/ Maybe it's possible to use this or setup a sister "speed.pypy.org" instance on the same machine? best, holger On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 18:11 +0200, Maciej Fijalkowski wrote:

We've been using it a bit for STM benchmarking and other stuff.

For what is worth also being hosted in the states makes it unpleasant to do manual benchmarking, so we use tannit more.
