Move inside.openhatch.org off the linode

Comment by paulproteus:

We should see if the data that lives here:

http://inside.openhatch.org/snapshots/

could live on OSL's mirror infrastructure.

Next step: Someone asks them if we may push stuff there!

Comment by paulproteus:

I've started the conversation with OSL.

Comment by paulproteus:

Well, I asked them, and they didn't say anything.

I'll plan to move these to Rackspace Cloud Files for approximately 84 cents a month in hosting. Then they'll stop cluttering up space on linode.openhatch.org.

Bumping to 0.12.01 because it's not the most urgent thing at the moment.

Comment by paulproteus:

I'm probably the only one who cares about this, but here are my concerns:

• With Rackspace Cloud Files, we can't create an "index.html" page, so we can't realistically use it for hosting the entire inside.openhatch.org site
• With Amazon S3, we can do that.
• With either one, if they delete our files, we're toast. So we need a backups strategy that keeps a second copy of our files there. We can do that with either one as part of the current backups strategy, where we put things on rsync.net.

I think this is the plan I will implement:

• Move most of inside.openhatch.org into the "Static website hosting" system we use now where nearlyfreespeech.net hosts sites for us
• For the big files in inside.openhatch.org, we should move them away from linode.openhatch.org and be sure to have a backup

And I won't do it today, so moving out of 0.12.02.
