[Sks-devel] Server Broken

Really I not understand what going own this days my SKS is alone in
his own server no other staff

any ideas ?

Hello,

While hockeypuck is running on my servers ( hockeypuck.fidocon.de )
without any big trouble since months it's still not yet possible to get
it added to a keyserver-pool.

Unfortunately the development of hockeypuck is currently quite "slow"
... ;-(

However:

If somebody needs assistance (or wants to peer his hockeypuck server
with mine) feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,

dirk

You probably want to look at HockeyPuck, which uses PostgreSQL as a
backend.

I'd love to peer my hockeypuck instance (keyserver2.brian.minton.name) with
you. It's ipv6-only, but since hockeypuck.fidocon.de seems to have an ipv6
address, that's not a problem.

I just added your machine to my hockeypuck-servers.

Currently both servers are running on it's own using it's own database.
One of then is a virtual machine located in a datacenter, the other one
(client) is a machine on my desk doing some other stuff, too.

Both are running under hockeypuck.fidocon.de using a reverse-http via
nginx (like my two sks keyservers).

Btw:

The initial setup had a mongodb-database on my local machine, postgres
on the datacenter one. Over the time i ran some tests (speed,
reliability and diskspace), where mongodb had some issues. Therefore i
kicked out mongodb and recreated the database using postgres.

One issue I currently have is ...

... sometimes i cannot stop hockeypuck using ctrl-c (ubuntu) or service
hockeypuck stop (debian), so i have to kick it using kill -9.

Besides that both machines are running more stable than one of
sks-keyservers (where I had to rebuild the database some days ago).

If there are questions, feel free to contact me ... ;-)

Kind regards,
