[kDev] Serve Kendra Initiative!...

[Daniel Harris <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there All,

Currently the kI website is running off a shared server. This is 
restricting us somewhat as we can't give out root access and all that 
stuff. So, we need to host kI on a dedicated server. There are lots of 
people we can approach and I reckon it wont be a problem getting use of 
kit. What I'd like to know is what do we need?

kI isn't mission critical but it would be really nice for it not to be down 
for too long. Another ting is the database (very small) of contacts, 
mailing lists, servers, etc is precious and I'd say we'd want it backed up 
every 4 hours.

So far, all I can think of is stuff like having backup devices built in. Do 
we want 2 servers? One live and one for backup? Have them on different 
networks? Copy database across from live to backup?

I'm keen that whoever provides the servers does it as a service so all the 
hardware is just looked after.

On the right track? Please discuss and question on list and build up a list 
of requirements.

Cheers Daniel
