Hey go1dfish, we are still wanting to get your awesome mirroring software set up on our server, but we're struggling to find enough time to do everything we need to do. Is there any chance you would be interested in helping us set up your software on our server, to mirror notabug on saidit like we planned?

Also, I noticed it stopped mirroring saidit about a week ago, maybe it needs an automated restart every once in a while so the process doesn't get jammed up or something?

Anyway, thanks for your great work and all your help creating this post-reddit federation, it could potentially mean a lot to the future of the internet in a few years, if notabug and saidit both continue to grow. Exciting stuff. Anyway, let me know what you think.

If you want to give me a ssh login setup somewhere I can have it running tomorrow.

I noticed the saidit ingest was broken earlier today as well but should be going again.

Awesome, thanks for fixing the feed go1dfish!

u/d3rr can we set this up? Can we get him his own temporary login maybe?

Yeah let's do it. There's still the question of which server, I say a new one. We set it up then create a new linux account for goldfish.

I'd be fine with that, sounds like a good solution. I guess it doesn't need to be on our main server, probably for the better it's not, now that you mention it.

Can it not share a server with one of our lowest-used servers though? Surely one of the two cheap ones we have could also handle the nab mirroring software in addition to what it's already doing? Or maybe we could test that out before we go disabling any existing features?

Like maybe we could put it on the IRC server, get nab running, and then turn the IRC back on to see if it can handle both? That'd save us $5/mo, which is $60/year so might be worth it

yeah, we could put it on the IRC server. the only issue is that it's setup to skip CloudFlare because we thought about launching external IRC client access. if we put that on hold, we can give the server and the NAB instance CloudFlare protection/CDN which I believe he's using on the main nab, and it'd be desirable. this also hides the real ip aside from it being public now :)

a similar approach is to put IRC onto TheLounge server, giving up on external IRC clients, and spinning up a fresh server and ip for the nab instance.

Yeah we could lose the external IRC connections. I don't think anyone is using that feature really. So can we just put the IRC server behind cloudflare, and then put the nab mirror on that? I think that'd be pretty good from a load-balancing standpoint, and it won't cost us any more money. Sound alright? Would you mind creating the login for him on that server?

sounds good, will do

Awesome man. Let me know when his login info is available, PM it to me, and I'll pass it along to go1dfish and explain to him the organization structure of our servers and so on.

I started reconfiguring chat last night for this nab plan. Hopefully I'll finish it off tonight.

Also no one used it because we never launched and announced it.

he says the database is 10GB that he needs to port over, so we have space for that on the IRC server and then some, right?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

yep, i think we have plenty

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Cool, good deal.
