I discussed this with Robin a few days ago (since I was also approaching a |
| 17 |
local potential sponsor). What I heard from Robin and Jorge is, |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
* The machine originally intended for git was in the meantime used otherwise; |
| 20 |
it could not be used to host the main git setup because of local network |
| 21 |
configuration problems. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
* We are right now mainly interested in options 1) and 3) from the "hosting |
| 24 |
wishlist" that infra wrote up some time ago. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
This is again the original mail from infra (roughly a year old now): |
| 27 |

The Gentoo Infrastructure team (infra@g.o) is currently searching for |
| 30 |
hosting sponsors in both Europe and North America. We ask that sponsors |
| 31 |
contribute to Gentoo in one of several ways: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
1. A donation of at least two dedicated servers including space, power |
| 34 |
and 10Mbits of bandwidth (burstable to 50Mbit). This is the most common |
| 35 |
option that organizations prefer. Sponsors typically have existing |
| 36 |
dedicated space for their business and host hardware for Gentoo in that |
| 37 |
space. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
2. Donation of at least 8U space, 10A usable, and 10Mbits of bandwidth |
| 40 |
(burstable to 50Mbits). The Gentoo Foundation will arrange the server hardware |
| 41 |
(but not power, bandwidth, or rackspace / a rack.) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
3. A single dedicated server. Minimum specifications: 16GiB RAM, 70GB usable |
| 44 |
storage (RAID1 required, Linux MD RAID is good, SSDs are nice to have but not |
| 45 |
required). 2Mbit bandwidth commit, burst to 10Mbit. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
4. Beefy virtual machines. Minimum specifications: 8GiB RAM, 20GB storage. |
| 48 |
2Mbit bandwidth commit, burst to 10Mbit. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
5. Something else. If you think you have something useful to offer the |
| 51 |
Infrastructure team, please get in touch! |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
In the first three cases we prefer that the sponsor has remote hands for |
| 54 |
the machines (for dead drives etc). KVM-over-IP, remote IPMI or other |
| 55 |
self-service remote management is also strongly desired. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Sponsors will received in return: ads on ads.gentoo.org (the ad sidebar to the |
| 58 |
main site), postings on the sponsors page, as well as news items posted to |
| 59 |
www.gentoo.org. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Interested parties should contact infra@g.o. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Generally, the Infrastructure team will install servers fresh from a rescue |
| 64 |
environment, netboot environment or Gentoo LiveCD/DVD/USB media; as such |
| 65 |
sponsors are not required to perform any software installation or maintenance. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Sponsors often ask to host official Gentoo mirrors. Note that the Gentoo |
| 68 |
mirror network is not currently seeking new mirror sponsors at this |
| 69 |
time - we have lots of mirrors! |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
The Gentoo infrastructure team has had significant operational problems with |
| 72 |
virtual machines not mixing well with security-hardened kernels. We see this |
| 73 |
as |
| 74 |
a significant preference for physical hardware rather than solutions like Xen |
| 75 |
or VMWare, but we are willing to try out HVM/fully virtualized machines like |
| 76 |
KVM as availability dictates. |
