[Qgis-psc] Performance tests QGIS Server

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi, 

Personally, I would prefer, if QGIS.ORG would rent a dedicated server in
our Hetzner server infrastructure for this. QGIS.ORG would pay for the
server. Oslandia would set up and maintain this server for a time frame
agreed on. Perhaps starting with one year and then potentially renew the
arrangement if it works well. Part of the arrangement would be some
basic documentation on how to install and maintain the system. Should
Oslandia loose interest, someone else can take over. 

Renting a server on Hetzner would mean that all servers are at the same
infrastructure. Also, the server rental is not really expensive for
QGIS.ORG, but finding a skilled sysadmin/dev to setup and maintain the
system is harder. Also, Richard and Jürgen do a lot of work on the
QGIS.ORG infrastructure - and I don't want to shovel even more work on
their shoulders - unless they want to do it ;-) 

We can then discuss how much work this would mean for Oslandia and what
sponsoring level this would equate to. 

Would such an arrangement be possible? 

Thanks for your replies, 

Andreas

As previously discussed [0], a dedicated server seems necessary to run
these kind of tests daily and push the resulting reports on
test.qgis.org. Initially, we (Oslandia) proposed 2 solutions: 

 	* Directly fund that on behalf of QGIS.org 
 	* Oslandia funds that directly and we deal the equivalent sponsorship
level

I think that the trend was towards the first solution, but we wanted to
make sure of that. Is it still on the table? 

If so, the platform allowing to generate OGC reports for WMS
certification and the C2C MSPerf platform should probably be migrated to
this server too. BTW, considering that performances tests have to be run
without external interference, a server administrator should be named to
keep a close watch on the configuration. 

With regards.
