Hi Nathan,
Ideally, if you put the template location in (or use a template defined in)
test_data.py then the actual location can be overridden by anyone testing.
For Trillian, we've copied all of the templates that people have define to a
local repo and then replace the URLs in test_data.py to reduce bandwidth use
and download times.
Ie:
"bootableIso":
{
"displaytext": "Test Bootable ISO",
"name": "testISO",
"bootable": True,
"ispublic": False,
"url": "{{ marvin_images_location }}/TinyCore-current.iso",
"ostype": 'Other Linux (64-bit)',
"mode": 'HTTP_DOWNLOAD'
},
I thought that we had come up with a solution for download.cloud.com, by having
a mirrorlist hosted in Community Apache 'space' with anyone able to out
themselves forward as a mirror.
But I must admit I lost track of whether anyone made the requisite changes in
code....
Kind regards,
Paul Angus

Subject: Re: Modern template hosting
this is a hard questions. in general, we should be setting up a mirror on some
cloudstack/apache domain and then mirror to other provided templates.
we MUST come up with a solution to deprecate 'download.cloud.com', that is
going to be going away any day now.
i don't know the right way to solve this to be honest, but if you have ideas, i
am willing to help.
