The squeak.org website consumes a 1GB RAM allocation,
How so? Nginx takes less than 70MB ram and it serves more than squeak.org… Yes, there's a Squeak vm running that takes a gig, but It should be taken down as it is not used. (ive shut it down just now)
and the new SqueakSource server(s) will need at least 500MB. That only leaves 2.5GB for everything else, as we upgrade more images to Spur, we'll need more memory, could we get 6GB or 8GB RAM?
oO That's pretty much for a free, shared service we're about to get, to be frank.

I wonder why I haven't received any of the previous emails in this thread.
Anyway, if there's really an account ready for us to use, then we should decide on what the parameters of the new server should be.
I suppose 4 GB of ram, 2 cores would be enough to run all services smoothly. The current bandwith is suboptimal, but I'm sure it will be at least 100 Mbit/s at Rackspace. So, the only question that remains is disk size. We currently use 47 GB on box3 and 82 GB on box4. I think twice as many would be nice, which is ~260 GB.
For the OS, I'd use Debian 8.5.
For the services, I don't know if I would use containers (e.g. docker) or not. They make installation easier and they provide better separation. On the other hand they require more resources (disk + RAM), and maintenance can be more cumbersome.

As a reminder, we've already set up a Rackspace account for Squeak based on previous conversations. Please let me know who needs access to handle the migration, and I'll create the necessary subaccount(s). If you need to ping me via IRC, I'm available at keynote2k on freenode.
Thanks! Best, -Tony
Did someone reply? Where do we stand?
I have not seen a reply, but we certainly need to respond. It's probably best to have one person acting as our point of contact just to avoid confusion (Tim, is that you?).
We will need to rely on Levente for overall guidance and expertise, but the board needs to take ownership of communicating the strategy and direction (this should to a main topic for our next SOB meeting). We also need to identify the scope of work to be done, and find suitable volunteers to drive each of the services that needs to be migrated, and to do the actual work of migrating them.
For starters, I will volunteer to do the migration of squeaksource.com from box3.squeak.org to the new Rackspace servers.
