Countervandalism Network/Hosting
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
| Countervandalism network |
|---|
The countervandalism network is a distinct group. It is neither affiliated with nor managed by the Wikimedia Foundation.
The countervandalism network offers free server hosting for official bots and related tools. In order to minimize performance and maintenance footprint, bots redundant with others already hosted will not be hosted. This is intended to improve bot uptime and performance, and remove their high resource burden from the Wikimedia toolserver and bot operators.
[edit] Specifications
The server runs 64-bit Linux, with 1500GB of space and a 15GB bandwidth quota. Hosted bot operators may request individual FTP access and databases. For security reasons, no shell access will be given.
Relevant modules and services:
- system
- Apache 2.2.6 (Unix)
- MySQL 5
- PostgreSQL
- CGI
- .htaccess overrides permitted
