New scenemodels and TerraSync hosting needed

By the end of this year (2015), the FlightGear Project's hosting for the scenemodels database and website and the TerraSync repository will no longer be available. As a result, the FlightGear Project is searching for a replacement, even just a temporary one. The technical requirements are roughly these:

  • A PostgreSQL database (with the PostGIS extension) of approximately 40 GB, with capacity to expand (this is for the scenemodels database).
  • An Apache webserver, PHP, access to the database and the usual toolkit for hosting the scenemodels website
  • An SVN server with 140+ GB for the TerraSync repository.
  • Enough bandwith to serve the data.
  • One or more reverse proxies serving TerraSync requests (not much storage required, just bandwidth).

If you can provide the above, are able to provide help, or have any serious ideas for a replacement, please get in touch via the forum topic or the mailing list topic
