[maemo-community] maemo.org services go to read only mode for the migration

Wed Dec 19 15:40:04 EET 2012

Timing will be important then. The server hosting (where TMO resides)
will end on January 20th and I'll let TMO run on it until that date,
so if a VM can be set up by then, then there is no need to get
temporary hosting.

Eero, here are the current specs of the TMO server:

- It is currently hosted on a dedicated 8GB 2GHz quad-core Xeon server
- Current Forum disk space size: ~12GB
- Monthly bandwidth: ~450GB
- Number of emails sent per week (mostly from forum reply notification): ~8000
- Separate server to FTP backup to might also be needed

If I can get FTP/SFTP rights to the web root of the VM and MySQL
access, once it is available, I can help migrate TMO to that server.
