<p>that's great, congratulations and yay!! i am drowning in an
unbroken run of rejections with my funding applications for
UpStage, so it's great to see something get funded!!</p>
<p>i am in the recovery position after an intense and amazing online
magdalena festival over the weekend; & at the same time super
busy with UpStage and preparing to fly to nz for 2 months next
week - so not following anything much at the moment. but cheering
you all from the sidelines!</p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hello!
We have good news, we got the funding! Yeah :))
The committee decided unanimously to support our proposal!
Among other things, that means that for 9 months, starting from
September we can pay sysadmins from our group to do backups and
maintenance for both systerserver and anarchaserver 400e per month, and
cover servers' costs for 2021 and probably 2022 as well (there is 500e
reserved for unforeseen expenses).
I have attached here the application with the planning activity and
budget overview for peertube install, 3 video hosting residencies, 3
workshops, sysadmin work.
ciao, m

I'm happy to partecipate in the conversation on backups (not as
architect), I think that we have to do backup but also public wrote real
clear that user have to conserve a local copy of what they put. that we
offer the possibility to show in internet, the continuty of the
service, but they have to have a local archive. to not delegate totally
, just in case to be no more in contact or phisical divided and.. only
the user have the power to know what they want publish or not in the
future. (repristinate a backup could be critical and expose things that
was been erased). example for nextcloud, we can do a backup, but sync in
local I think is a good suggestion to do to our user. I say because I do
in another team, but ... yeee I'm open to speak about this if you see
that can be not nice for whatever reason in systerserver.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Backup is most necessary for the mailing lists at this point. I'd start
with this and use the backup repo and tool, which we set for
anarchaserver. We have discussed it with the rest of us from
anarchaserver and decided that we can share AS backup server for the
lists as well. Here's a step-by-step howto:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://git.systerserver.net/systerserver/doc-website/-/wikis/Container-Backups-with-Restic">https://git.systerserver.net/systerserver/doc-website/-/wikis/Container-Backups-with-Restic</a>
If someone wants to do it, I can assist with pointing what to backup for
the mailing lists and set up the ssh access to the backup server.
Then, ooooo mentioned contacting maadix for backup space. Any news on this?
So once we have a backup server available we can use it for the rest of
systerserver services. And yes if someone wants to update the
systerserver landing page with info about our backup policy, please do
so. I agree with iginifugo's points, and I believe the rest of us too?

if is confortable for you, maybe is usefull now that you are studing

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Backup is very important if we want to put new services, once we have
this, we can discuss other services as long as we come up with a
scheduled maintenance that falls to the shoulders of more than one or
two admins and preferably for specific period of times. E.g me or
ignifugo does maintenance for the coming 2 months, then, others take
over, etc. Just an example since, I won't have time to do admin work
this summer, and I've done for a while till now.

use docker to conteinarize them (only the running code, not db and not
data/config :).

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I heard peertube might have some issues in encoding when containerized,
but we need to see closely if and when the time comes to install it.
As a general policy, I see docker as a good tool for scaling, e,g when
we want to quickly increase and load balanced a service, we can run more
containers. Or for network isolation. In our case, I do not know why
docker would improve our infra. Perhaps for experimenting with new
software? Let me know your reasons.
As docker is dependent on the host, if a kind of virtualization is the
reason behind it, then lxc containers may be more useful. Something to
discuss about it.

but not feel this as a strict request.. do as you know and we can speak

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">For the previous applications we did it as Feminist Hack Meetings with
angeliki, artemis ooooo and me. This one, ooooo took the initiative just
before the dealine of the first round and wrote it herself. When we
heard it was preselected, I wrote here.
So now we are applying for the second round and we meet this wednesday
again at 10.30 CEST with ooooo and Mika for finalizing the application:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://antonieta.vedetas.org/p/feministische-servers-application">https://antonieta.vedetas.org/p/feministische-servers-application</a>
There is a focus on Belgian queer art scene because the fund is regional.
Have a nice week!
