Description

As discussed on IRC and the ML, please setup two VMs for the wiki.

a) wiki VM

  • funny name: riesling
  • 16 or 32 GB RAM (Based on a wild guess. The 32 GB clearly include a safety net. If we go with 16 GB, the 42.3 release day will tell us if it's enough ;-)
  • 10 GB disk for the system
  • 40 GB disk for wiki data, logs and historical data (tarballs and database dumps from the server in Provo)
  • OR: 25 GB disk for wiki data and logs, and another 20 GB disk for historical data (would be unmounted most time)

b) elasticsearch VM

  • funny name: water
  • 16 GB RAM
  • 10 GB disk should be enough for the system and the search index

I forgot to mention: the wiki VM needs to do outgoing network connections:

  • port 80 and 443 for including RSS feeds and github content
  • sending out notification mails (IIRC we have a relay host, but I didn't find the details - pointers welcome)

how many CPUs?

  • Category set to Wiki

Good question, and as I told you on IRC, I can only guess because I only have experience with running MediaWiki on bare metal (where the CPU is usually bored).

Maybe start with 2 or 3 CPUs for each VM? Adding more later probably makes more sense than starting with 100 CPUs and not knowing if we really need them ;-)

both VMs are done, ports 2241 and 2242. What's next?

We handled several details on IRC, and I'd say this is done :-)

Thanks for setting up the VMs and handling all the "small" other things around this!
