Attendees

@janekdererste, @jwilk79

Notes

Talked about the migration of the backend services from AWS to self hosted environment. First, an overwiev of the current set up was given. Afterwards we talked about how to set up a similar infrastructure on our own servers.

Since, we are short on VMs at tubit, we tend to deploy the backend on our cnode-server (yeah, bare metal!)

Also, talked a little bit about containerization of the app.

Actions

Mostly @jwilk79 has tasks now. We'll start moving the files-server since it has the most requirements

• Some mechanism to store and alter configuration files
• Some proxy-server set up which terminates https connections and routes them to the servlet-app internally
• A database is required, we've settled for postgresql
• Storage for uploaded files, the current way to go is to just attach a big hard drive to the server
