[opensuse-project] Wanted: New hosting for opensuse-community.org
Dear community We need new hosting for the opensuse-community.org website as Bruno "tigerfoot" Friedmann can't host it anymore for personal reasons. If you're not familiar with the site, it's just a basic place for hosting information and one-click installers for multimedia codecs, the YaST Community Repositories "feed" and similar things. For legal reasons it's better to have these things at arm's length outside the official openSUSE infrastructure. However outside the United States I'm pretty sure there should be no legal concerns about hosting this content (note: IANAL). It's been hosted by different individuals in a couple of different European countries for a decade or more now with zero issues. The technical requirements are next to none. Maybe a few megabytes of storage required for static html/css and a few xml files. I assume there's a substantial number of hits/visits, but I don't have statistics. However the files are very small, so the amount of data traffic shouldn't be overwhelming. I'm willing to continue to maintain the content, if I can get access to the new hosting via ftp or whatever. So if you're interested in taking over the hosting, don't hesitate to step up, and Bruno will assist with transferring the domain and any other formalities. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Martin I'll be happy to host it here in Switzerland. (www.hostsuisse.com). You can have ftp and ssh access. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks a lot for the offer. We also got another offer of hosting off-list, I'll report back when there's a decision. Very soon I hope. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Why not statically host it through github or gitlab pages? It's free, including TLS through lets-encrypt, and all you have to do to publish a change is 'git push'. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/ -- James Mason Technical Architect, Public Cloud openSUSE Member SUSE 2219 Rimland Dr Ste 301 Bellingham, WA 98226 USA (P)+1 360.752.6707 james.mason@suse.com

That is probably not a good idea given what Martin wrote upthread:

And since both GitLab & Github have legal entities and their servers
partially in the US, anyone hosting the content via their account could
be subject to legal persecution (given how valuable github/gitlab
accounts have become, that is probably undesirable for many).
Cheers,
Dan

Hmm good point the xml could be generated and pushed as well http://opensuse-community.org/openSUSE_Leap_152_Community_Additional.xml -- Best regards Luboš Kocman Release Manager openSUSE Leap SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nuremberg Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Managing Director: Felix Imendörffer N�����r��y隊Z)z{.��k�7��맲��r��z�^�ˬz��N�(�֜��^� ޭ隊Z)z{.��k�7���0�����Ǩ�
You can host it on S3 like service. Russian 'Yandex cloud' for example. It is even cheaper than AWS, so I think it will cost nothing. (I sent it from wrong address at first and the first mail might be rejected.) On 16.04.2020 18:45, Martin Schlander wrote:

Hello! Don't know if can be useful, but I have updated a bit the style of this page, to fit (as I can) to software.o.o style. You can check it following this url: https://victorhck.gitlab.io/os-community/ I didn't update the codecs to GitLab repo, so if you press a button, you get a great 404 error! :) Hope can be useful... PS: Best wishes for Tigerfoot, he was one of the first geekos I met in IRC long, long time ago and I learnt many things!! Virtual hugs my friend!! -- ------------------- GPG Key: 0xcc742e8dc9b7e22a Fingerprint = 6FE2 3B1F AAC8 E5B7 63EA 88A9 CC74 2E8D C9B7 E22A Aprende a proteger la privacidad de tu correo: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/es/ Mi blog sobre openSUSE, GNU/Linux y software libre: https://victorhckinthefreeworld.com/ Herramientas para proteger tu privacidad https://victorhck.gitlab.io/privacytools-es/

Hello team, may I ask you to create a SR against to update information about how do you want openSUSE Release Manager to request a new repo.xml? If it's too much effort, then simply openning and issue and adding "some written way" would be sufficient. Thanks you https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/blob/master/Beta.md#ask... I'll create redmine issues frmo this git repo for Leap 15.3 (I expect major rewrite in case that Jump happens). On Wed, 2020-04-22 at 19:59 +0200, Martin Schlander wrote:
