Hi Glyph, I'm probably closer to you than Ray, but he sounds like he might have a better environment. I'm live in Belmont, 1 block from Cambridge. I have FIOS (20Mb, I think, but just a single IP and no A/C. I haven't used any dynamic DNS service, but can't imagine it would be too hard to set up.
... Another possibility would be my office in Lexington. Real (though small) computer room, A/C, limited UPS, etc. and lots of room since we just consolidated a bunch of servers. We have both FIOS and ComCast business service and (at the moment) a couple of spare IP addresses. We can firewall it off from everything internal so it would look like it was sitting on the Internet all by itself. Or we could provide DNS service and whatever for it. We use a fair amount of Twisted and one of my coworkers was recently saying we should kick in something to the Twisted project. Maybe this is a way of doing it. He's also the guy (currently) in charge of our network infrastructure, so he's the one I would have to talk it over with him, but he's on vacation this week. Also, I'm going to NYC tomorrow (mini-vacation) so I won't be able to talk to him about it until late Monday or Tuesday. It looks like you are moving in early June at the latest, I think that might work... A little later... I dropped him an email, and just heard back. It sounds fine to him, so I'm officially making the offer... Ray Cote wrote: How many IPs does this require? Is this a standard tower-type system or rack mount. If it is just a case of plugging it into the net, we can move that up to our office in the interim. However, we really don't have rack mount capability. NH, but I figure that's close enough--:} ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Glyph" <gl...@twistedmatrix.com> > To: "Twisted general discussion" <twisted-python@twistedmatrix.com> > Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 4:31:02 PM > Subject: [Twisted-Python] buildbot hosting > I'm leaving my home in the Boston metro area, and moving > cross-country.
