<tschwinge> That was the web server.
- <braunr> isn't it gnu.org ?
<tschwinge> And flubber had the repository for developers to push to.
- <tschwinge> No, gnu.org is updated manually (by me).
- <braunr> ah
- <tschwinge> It'S a snapshot of the wiki so to say.
- <braunr> ok so, is this wiki really meant to be modifiable from a browser ?
- <tschwinge>
- http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/contributing/web_pages.html#index5h2
- <tschwinge> Yes.
- <braunr> i see
- <tschwinge> I should still be able to access the data from Barry's zenhost
- (including all the VMs it hosted), so I should be able to replicate that
- quite easily.
- <braunr> do you think it could be hosted on darnassus, or would you like a
- separate vm ?
<tschwinge> The repository for people to push to and pull from (used to be
on flubber) would be on darnassus now.
- <tschwinge> About the web server, hmm.
- <tschwinge> It's basically a security concern.
- <tschwinge> And it might get hammered by bots from time to time.
- <braunr> it won't need much resources i suppose
- <tschwinge> No. The web server (snubber) was running with 242 MiB of RAM,
- and had uptimes of several weeks typically.
- <braunr> tschwinge: otherwise, could it use the web server running on the
- host ?
- <tschwinge> The host being darnassus?
- <braunr> no
- <braunr> shattrath, the linux system
- <tschwinge> Ah.
- <tschwinge> Sure.
- <tschwinge> There is no requirement this to be a Hurd system -- was just
- nice to show to people.
- <braunr> i think it is too
- <braunr> what's the problem with darnassus ?
- <braunr> yçou mentioned security
- <tschwinge> The web server being a public-facing component which might be
- broken into.
- <braunr> how ?
- <braunr> it's so much easier to just ask for an account .. :)
- <tschwinge> Web server bugs, CGI script bugs, etc.
- <tschwinge> Sure.
- <tschwinge> I just wanted to make you aware of it. :-)
- <braunr> oh don't worry
- <braunr> ok so darnassus it is
- <pinotree> was it running apache? maybe, if other (lighter?) web servers
- are tested to work on hurd, they could be used
- <tschwinge> pinotree: Yes, and yes.
- <braunr> doesn't ikiwiki need php ?
- <tschwinge> Only requirement (I think) is abaility to run CGI scripts.
- <tschwinge> braunr: No. It's written in perl.
- <braunr> ok
- <braunr> i still think i'll use apache
- <braunr> it's really not that heavy
- <braunr> lighter servers matter when the number of concurrent clients get
- very high
- <tschwinge> Then I'll figure out how exactly the setup was between flubber
- and snubber.
- <braunr> ok
- <braunr> it's good to finally get that going :)
