 Coffee | Then again, that's just my idea. I'm really not very familiar with the translation tools and translators' needs. | 10:08:13 |
 Nico | So unfortunately I won't have much time later then for the meeting, but I would like to hear other's opinions on admin#94. I.e. whether they think an own Matrix server is worth it, whether we need the fully featured setup by @max:kamax.io or if we could go with a simpler setup maintained by @mathijs:matrix.vgorcum.com (and me as a backup). | 10:46:45 |
![@freenode_[gibot]:matrix.org](./avatar/%5Bgibot%5D) [gibot] | [admin] #94: Set up own Matrix Homeserver for F-Droid related … - https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/issues/94 | 10:46:48 |
| Nico | @eighthave:matrix.org already offered one machine for doing this, however I also read he's thinking about using it for other stuff like the wiki. So that's for consideration whether we need a Matrix server. | 10:47:48 |
|  mvdan changed their display name from mvdan (IRC) to mvdan. | 11:02:56 |
 _hc | FYI, we have enough "points" for a couple VMs | 11:06:24 |
| _hc | the blog VM would be tiny | 11:06:31 |
|  craftyguy changed their display name from craftyguy (IRC) to craftyguy. | 11:10:48 |
| Nico | Ah, so we could make one large or several tinier machines? | 11:13:19 |
| Coffee | I think we should give running our own matrix thing a try, but start out small. | 11:24:01 |
| _hc | what kind of specs would be needed for the matrix VM? | 11:38:44 |
| Coffee | About 2G of RAM to be on the safe side for a small setup, reasonable amount of cpu power and lots of disk. | 11:40:26 |
 Mathijs | lots of disk is a bit undefined, but pretty accurate | 11:41:58 |
| Coffee | It's kind of hard to estimate how much it will use, how fast. | 11:42:27 |
| Mathijs | it mostly depends on how many rooms will be joined from the server | 11:43:05 |
| Coffee | How much total disk does your setup use now Mathijs, including pgsql and the media store? | 11:45:00 |
| Mathijs | lemme have a look | 11:45:21 |
| _hc | I just can set #cores, RAM, disk size | 11:45:28 |
| _hc | who is thinking about running this server? | 11:45:52 |
| _hc | Marcus (BubuIIC): I'll be in Berlin at the end of this month, partially for this https://freedomonline.de | 11:46:13 |
| _hc | we should meet up 😀 | 11:46:19 |
| Coffee | In reply to @eighthave:matrix.org
who is thinking about running this server? Mathijs and Nico have volunteered I believe. | 11:46:27 |
| _hc | 👍 | 11:46:45 |
| Mathijs | 8.6 GB media store, 14 GB postgresql | 11:47:24 |
| Coffee | I have zero experience running an actual synapse, but I know enough about matrix that I'd probably be able to do something in a pinch. | 11:47:33 |
| Mathijs | In reply to @Coffee:matrix.org
Mathijs and Nico have volunteered I believe. yes | 11:47:57 |
| Coffee | _hc: How easy or how hard would it be to add more disk to the VM later? | 11:48:17 |
| Mathijs | In reply to @mathijs:matrix.vgorcum.com
8.6 GB media store, 14 GB postgresql of course we'd also need the synapse install, python dependencies and postgres install itself | 11:48:39 |
| Mathijs | and like a debian base | 11:48:48 |
| Mathijs | either that, or go with docker | 11:48:53 |
