Serving it temporarily from a machine in my home. I'll move it to better hosting in a few days. And I guess I should make it more fail safe some day soon.. Lets see if mailman happens to work now.

LAMP server under CentOS 5, located in France with 100Mb/s bandwidth. It doesn't have anything about wiki and mailman, but I presume it's not a big deal to set it up. Contact me if in trouble, it doesn't matter much how long you would need it for. Regards, Thierry
The new server should be in its final resting place tomorrow and hopefully after that everything will work again correctly. I know there are some problems with missing DNS names at least, but other than that I think it's working. I created yesterday scripts that can now build dovecot.org from scratch in about 15 minutes (using backups of course). The new dovecot.org server was built using those scripts. So if in future there are ever trouble with a server dying, I should be able to recreate it easily. I was also planning on adding some mirroring by adding 2+ A records to some names: * hg.dovecot.org can be mirrored either with hg itself pushing changes or calling rsync * www.dovecot.org can be mirrored with periodic rsync. The most frequent changes are mailing list archives and nightly tarballs. * wiki*.dovecot.org could also be rsynced and set read-only. A patched MoinMoin could show "Edit" links as pointing to master.wiki*.dovecot.org where editing is allowed. That's basically everything, except for the mailing list, but that probably can't be easily helped.

There's a master server now handling dovecot.org and a mirror server handling www/hg/wiki. Would be nice to get another reliable fast mirror server if someone wants to donate one :) Requirements are: - Apache2 with WSGI - Mercurial - Patched moinmoin - ssh + rsync so I can push changes immediately I have a script that builds all of those on a freshly installed CentOS 5.6 (and a kickstart config to do the install too).> * hg.dovecot.org can be mirrored either with hg itself pushing changes > or calling rsynchg commit hook calls rsync immediately> * www.dovecot.org can be mirrored with periodic rsync.

When a new mail arrives via mailman, it gets rsynced to mirrors within 5 minutes. This is done by rsyncing the current month's all files/dirs.> * wiki*.dovecot.org could also be rsynced and set read-only.

Also there's a nightly script that rsyncs everything just in case (except in case of mailing list archives only current+last month, since they're so huge). BTW. Apparently there's still something wrong with dovecot.org's reverse DNS record. It appears to be ok, but some DNS servers have cached it wrong. I don't know why. We've complained to the ISP. Also dovecot.org is currently sharing IP with some other stuff, but should get its own IP some day.
