DigitalOcean + Discourse #125

Open mxie opened 1 year ago

mxie commented 1 year ago

We're currently paying DigitalOcean which is supposedly host Discourse. We don't need either of these services as far as I know so let's work to shut these down and save some money.

Things we need to do/figure out:

  1. Do we have a Bridge Foundry-owned account to DigitalOcean? If so, who has access to this.
  2. Where is Discourse being used?
  3. Cancel/deactivate services.

IIRC Lillie set this up long ago... http://discourse.bridgefoundry.org/

looks like it was still being used in Dec '21...

Next step:

  1. see who has been using it
  2. decide if we should keep it
  3. Next steps
    • if keeping: turn on https, communicate its existence more widely?
    • if not, notify people? then turn it off
