Hi,

I could offer a server currently running a mirror for open source projects (www.veidrodis.com  sponsored by one of my customers) which isn't used very frequently (about 300 GB traffic per month),  and 2 other live sites which will move to a different server anyway. The free resources (incl. a second ip) could be used to host aolserver.com .

The mirror needs aolserver (4.5 with tcl8.4) incl. most common modules, postgres 7.4  to run  an older  openacs  version (5.2), and daemontools. This software is installed already  and can be used.
 
Well there's
a rub in it, i'm pretty busy and don't have the time to administrate another live system, so incase there is an interest in using the server, I would give you  root access, and the administration of aolserver.com (inst. of software, keepalive etc.)  will be up to you (or the person you name for this job ). So far that only the mirror is going to stay on that server there is no security issue from my side.

Server details:
Unlimited traffic,
100 MBit Network connection (fully switched) 
2 GB RAM  (about 0.8 GB are used)
160 GB RAID 0 &nb sp; (i would need about 100 GB for the mirror incl. what will be needed in the future)
CPU  : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 148 , 2.2 GHz , 1 MB Cache
OpenSUSE
 
The host has a 
ISO 27001 certificate. They have 2 data centers in central europ (connected to different carriers), where the second  is the fall back for the first, in tests they always have the higest availability of all tested hosts.

I'm not sure if this is of any help to you, but especialy the new docs are in some cases extremly slow , which I hope is going to change.
I case you are going to use the server, it'll be great if you put a sponsored by (or a like) link  to the mirror.

P.S.: I'm Bjoern Kiesbye, i worked on the nsjabber module some years ago, maybe some one remembers me. Currently I use aolserver  just to run my customers sites.

Turns out, the aolserver.{com,net,org} DNS was set up as A records to

66.35.250.210 instead of CNAME's to vhost.sourceforge.net - which

recently changed to 216.34.181.97 with the SourceForge move to Chicago.



I've put in the necessary request to get the DNS updated at AOL (who

still manages the DNS for the domains).



No idea how long it'll take for them to act on the request. You can

access the site at http://aolserver.sourceforge.net/ for now, though.

Hi,

So, several generous offers have been made towards hosting of the
AOLserver project. What does the project actually need? Here's a short
list off the top of my head:

1) Web content hosting, preferably using AOLserver itself

2) Code repository hosting

3) Bug tracking

4) Project file downloads

5) Mailing lists

(Have I left anything off the list? Please add anything you feel is
missing.)

How should this be accomplished? Should we set this up in OpenACS? Use
third-party services (Google Code, Launchpad, etc.)? Something else,
entirely?

Or, should we just leave everything the way it is?
