boum.org (a box managed by an anarchogeek french-speaking collective)
was supposed to host docs.indy temporarily, until we find another
box. It was two months ago. I pinged Epsas & Espe a few times in the
meantime, and then did nothing to find a solution.

The time has come to find a new home for our TWiki, since boum is
going to receive a kill -PROD signal soon, and won't be able to afford
docs.indy's load anymore.

The requirements are :
   * CPU: 1GHz if we find a dedicated box (the more, the better : it's
     the limiting factor for TWiki)
   * RAM: 512MB should be enough, 1GB might be better in the future
   * disk-space : a few gigabytes for the data
   * OS : preferably Debian, since the main docs.indy admins have
     loads of experience on Debian and almost none on other distros. I
     wouldn't mind to give a try to OpenBSD, though ;)

A dedicated box is not a must-have, but... talking about security,
TWiki software is not very very robust (yet), so... I would say a
dedicated UML is a minimum. Yeah, I know, UMLs are a pain to
setup/upgrade. Let's say a dedicated box is a requirement, then, we'll
do without if not possible.

Epsas, Espe, please tell us :
   * if your free hosting opportunity is still available
   * what's the hardware you were talking of

If this does not work, we'll try to find another
solution. http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/IMCServerOffers could
be a good place to start with.

boum.org (un serveur g=E9r=E9 par un collectif d'anargeeks francophones)
=E9tait cens=E9 h=E9berger docs.indy temporairement, d'ici =E0 ce que nous
trouvions un autre serveur. Deux mois ont pass=E9 depuis. J'ai tent=E9 de
contacter Epsas & Espe pendant ce temps, puis n'ai rien fait pour
trouver une solution.

Le moment est venu de trouver une autre maison pour notre TWiki, =E9tant
donn=E9 que boum va bient=F4t recevoir un signal kill -PROD, et ne sera
plus capable de supporter la charge induite par docs.indy.

Le cahier des charges est :
   * CPU: 1GHz s'il s'agit d'un serveur d=E9di=E9 (le plus sera le mieux :
     c'est le facteur limitant pour TWiki)
   * RAM: 512MB devrait suffire, 1GB pourrait =EAtre mieux dans le futur
   * espace disque : qques GB pour les donn=E9es
   * OS : Debian, de pr=E9f=E9rence, car les admins principaux ont une
     bonne exp=E9rience en la mati=E8re, et plut=F4t novices sur d'autres
     distros. Je ne cracherais pas sur OpenBSD, ceci dit ;)

Un serveur d=E9di=E9 n'est pas une obligation, mais... pour ce qui est de
la s=E9curit=E9, TWiki n'est pas tr=E8s tr=E8s costaud (pour l'instant),
donc... je dirais qu'une UML d=E9di=E9e est un minimum. Oui, je sais, les
UMLs sont p=E9nibles =E0 installer/mettre =E0 jour. Disons donc qu'un
serveur d=E9di=E9 est n=E9cessaire, et nous ferons sans si ce n'est pas
possible.

Epsas, Espe, merci de nous dire :
   * si votre plan d'h=E9bergement gratuit tient toujours
   * quel est le mat=E9riel dont vous parliez

Si ce plan ne marche pas, nous essaierons de trouver une autre
solution. http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/IMCServerOffers
pourrait =EAtre un bon point de d=E9part.
