rsync.net account for backup of the hydra database #159

Closed mweinelt closed 3 months ago

mweinelt commented 5 months ago

The infra team wants an rsync.net account for backups of the hydra.nixos.org database. This was previously in place, but paid by Graham.

We'd need roughly 2 TB of storage, which would incur about 25 USD/month.

Can the foundation decide on that, and then have someone help me create the account (wrt to ownership and payment)?

zimbatm commented 4 months ago

To get things going, I ordered:

size: 2 TB
redundancy: standard
region: Zurich (closest to Hetzner)
pricing: $259.20 billed annually (so I only have to get one invoice refunded)

With special price: $192.00

Added to Bitwarden.

I will submit this to Open Collective, and the foundation can decide whether to reimburse me. If not, no harm, no foul.

As @vcunat found out, our account is apparently not able to use zfs send. Those accounts are a different product with a minimum order of 5TB.

@zimbatm Can you check with rsync.net whether we can migrate into that instead? The price is more like 650 USD/yr.

zimbatm commented 4 months ago

thanks to vcunat for reaching out to rysnc.net, and rsync for enabling zfs send on our current plan.

that means we're keeping our current this plan.

edolstra commented 3 months ago

Thanks, will take care of the expense.

vcunat commented 3 months ago

The expense is a recurrent one, from a credit card, so... we need some plan for that?

zimbatm commented 3 months ago

I don't mind recording the expense on opencollective if the invoice is once a year. If it's more frequency, @refroni please give me a credit card to add on their file.
