Add server region select feature for country code based server allocation

[n-ce]

• We will use the client side date time to ascertain the region.
• Then allocate it to closest available piped instances.
• A list of all instances are available here.

Not currently, you may try your hand at it.

should I allocate the closest piped instance based on the distance between the user's country and countries mentioned in locations of piped instance

should I allocate the closest piped instance based on the distance between the user's country and countries mentioned in locations of piped instance

stage 1: first we will have a basic implementation

• we will categorize instances into lists by country
• note: An instance may be available in more than one countries which means it will appear in more than one category. ex.

  { 
  global : [kavin.rocks] ,
  india : [kavin.rocks, segfault.in],
  netherlands:[],...
  }

• then if userCountry in categoryList
• assign instance to it, otherwise global.

Stage 2 : we will include a <select> element with same characteristics so as to let user choose.

stage 3 : distance based allocation, ex, pakistan will get server allocated to india.

so currently do I need to implement all Stages?

no just focus on first, this is kind of a big implementation so it needs to be collaborative effort. Note : this might not even get merged if it was too computationally intensive to perform, so our final stage is optimisation .
