<p>Hi,</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 ;-)</p>
<p>We can then discuss how much work this would mean for Oslandia and what sponsoring level this would equate to.</p>
<p>Would such an arrangement be possible?</p>
<p>Thanks for your replies,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<p dir="auto"><tt>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:</tt></p>

<p dir="auto"><tt>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.</tt></p>

<pre>Hi Paul,
thanks for the detailed report. As results stabilize, I suggest to
publish a blog post on this, to attract more attention, and potentially
resources, to this important theme.
