Aus.Social AdminFeb 16, 2023

  Call to action: I want to buy a dedicated server for aus.social and some of the other fediverse instances to share resources.. and get it COLO'ed in Syd/Melb..

Anybody work in that field? Because everybody rules, I can afford a beefy-ish server on the Patreon money... so I'm looking for newish hardware.

If that's your bag. Message me.

I'm planning on building a 2U rackmount piece by piece. Maybe grab a AMD EPYC 7601 or newer and just DIY it - Instead of getting the DL380 or something from somebodies second hand pile

@aussocialadmin Honestly, I'd be seriously considering something like a Kubernetes cluster rather than the old world hosts and vhosts setup.

@shayneoneill I've setup plenty of automation on this environment... but once I own the hardware, If I can buy two servers, I could setup full HA using kube.. that might be fun for 2024?

@aussocialadmin Its something worth considering. The autoscaling stuff can be amazing when hit with spikes (ie next time spacebaby decides to do something truly fucked with the bird)
