@auvipy what does this issue concern?
Why do we need a new hosting service?
Yes we do. Rackspace is ending open source support for free and my credit card is configured on the account. We need to find new hosting by end of December. Shall we try to tweet to Dogital Ocean ?
Sure! Alternatively we could convert this site to a static site and host it on Github.
I just twitted them https://twitter.com/the_drow/status/930369386946408448
I can provide hosting service for Free, A little vm for example.
@PMickael Where would you host the website?
All my servers are provide by online.net, I do managed web hosting for french companies.
@thedrow I think the Github option is probably the best.
But it requires time to convert all the website to Jekyll. Until we do so, what @PMickael is offering sounds like our best option.
@thedrow how about Heroku ?
@georgepsarakis Heroku to do not offer full time online service for Free (or maybe I read it wrong) It's not like it was a critical website and resource consumer either so anyway you know if there isn't any other solution I'm open to host ^^
Please don't underestimate the loads that a website like celryproject.org generates. Here a screenshot from analytics
Here an example of what I'm hosting :) Seasonal (traffic) that why the big drop still 150k/day
At least I gave you a chance to show off :-). For me is all yours, if the guys agree I will export the DB so that you can setup the new site on your servers. For DNS instead I thinks is still Ask that manages them.
I tried contacting him the other day, no luck.
Website is going down at the end of the month
What I can do is to host it on a server paid by my own company as a sponsor for the project if you all agree but we will still need to have @ask to switch the dns before the end of the year. Or we can let @PMickael take it, for me is the same.
I just ping him on twitter :)
Yeah, DNS is on asmallorange. I can update it, but guess need IP address for the A record?
@PMickael So you ser it up or I do ?
@PMickael any news ? What do we do ? If no answer in 2 days I will move on my own server sponsored by my own company.
Got also a sql dump for restore the db.
good job @fireantology let's see
We finally can keep rackspace, they clarified in the support ticket
We apologize for any confusion communication may have caused. While we’re no longer accepting new applicants to the Open Source Discount (OSS) program, all existing OSS program customers will keep their credits
So the problem does not exist. Rackaspace will keep the support
