But with what purpose? These are sites >7GB each of which most information should either be still available in newer doc versions, or only if you would want to use 2.x versions of QGIS...
I fail to want to put extra time into this. But if you want: I have archived both versions in a zip on qgis6, and can make them available for you if you want to set this up. Feel free to contact me directly (richard@qgis is still working if I am correct...). Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde On 3/23/23 21:51, Serkan Girgin via QGIS-Developer wrote:
Hi all, Instead of deleting, would you consider putting the old documentation to a repository, e.g. Zenodo, so that they are archived for long term? Zenodo allows up to 50GB for each record and it is free. You can also create a community page, so that all records are accessible from a single point: https://zenodo.org/communities/ <https://zenodo.org/communities/> Best, Serkan On Tue, 21 Mar 2023 at 15:50, Johannes Kröger (WhereGroup) via QGIS-Developer <qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org <mailto:qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org>> wrote: Thank you! I am also in Den Bosch and so I would love to join the discussion there, hopefully with valuable contributions and solutions :)) Cheers, Hannes Am 21.03.23 um 09:48 schrieb DelazJ via QGIS-Developer:Hi, Thanks all for the feedback I second the (somewhat reformulated by myself) opinion that we shouldn't just buy space or disk because we would be financially able to do so. Not sure it is a sustainable behavior and we'd just be postponing the issue (remember, pyqgis repo is also concerned). We rather should identify what we do really want/need to provide to our community. So I'm glad you'll discuss this at Den Bosch./(and I keep updating my list of todo for the sys admin)/ I also second the suggestion to delete 2.8 and 2.14. It'd release enough space to serve 3.28. About the questions: Hannes, the folders are so big because they serve (in about 15 to 20 languages): - the HTML files (the ones we all know) - the PDF files (e.g. https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/pdf/ <https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/pdf/>) - and the zipped HTML files (https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/zip/ <https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/zip/>) for local use for people that do not have full access to WEB but not sure if anyone is using them. It could be interesting to know stats of downloads (if any). About why 3.10 is bigger than 3.22, it had two languages we no longer publish, and looks like we managed somehow to provide smaller files (plugins and third-party providers chapters that were removed on the road? 🤔) Bernd, sorry for the old docs popping up during search. Unfortunately, not something new [0], and we still are looking for people with knowledge in this area to help us improve the situation. What I usually do is to replace the version number in the URL and most of the times, it work well unless the file has been restructured. The line that shows the top message is at [1]. If someone knows how we can add the section anchor to that URL, suggestions are more than welcome.

Ok - let's delete the 2.8 and 2.14 releases. I think it would be good to keep the latest 2.x (2.18) around. This should give us some initial room to serve the current documentation. If we need additional space. we could also remove the 3.10 documentation. And yes, it is a good idea to discuss infrastructure tasks and responsibilities in Den Bosch! I hope that Kartoza can soon find a good sysadmin person - now that the idea to employ a Sysadmin and the funds had been approved.

I would like to get an idea - however - what the monthly expected costs are. Is this a "virtual" server at Hetzner? How much disk space does it have currently, how much do we want? What is the price difference? Building is done on a real Hetzner server: qgis6.org <http://qgis6.org> a Hetzner EX42 Root server about 50euro/month Serving the site + docs is done on www2.qgis.org <http://www2.qgis.org> a Hetzner Cloud cpx31 160GB disk 14euro/ month (as cloud would be cheaper etc etc) We can upgrade the www2 to a newer bigger CLOUD server, but that is about 35 euro/month for just 80Gb more.. Probably then it is better to leave the cloud, and just add an extra root server on which you have a couple of terrabytes... for 50 euro/month Can we sit together in Den Bosch and do decide something on this? I really feel unhappy if people telling us "why is there even a need to care": we/I am not a sysadmin, so everybody with great knowledge and idea's: please help out! > At some point - cleanup of old stuff just makes sense. Getting rid of version 2.14 and 3.8 (it probable should mean 3.8 and not 2.8 - right) would make sense. Documentation always focuses on LTR versions, so all the "in-between" versions that are older than 3-4 years could be deleted. >> # du -hs * >> 255M doc-test >> 579M QGIS-Documentation >> 7.2G QGIS-Documentation-2.14 >> 6.3G QGIS-Documentation-2.18 >> 7.7G QGIS-Documentation-2.8 >> 12G QGIS-Documentation-3.10 >> 11G QGIS-Documentation-3.16 >> 9.4G QGIS-Documentation-3.22 >> 579M QGIS-Documentation-3.28 >> 8.0G QGIS-Documentation-3.4 >> 31G QGIS-tests >> 16G QGIS-Website We still have version 2 (TWO) .8 .14 and .18 around :-) so it NOT a typo...
