Sorry for re-opening but I wanted to keep track of requests here.

I have talked with the developers (User:Ruphy and User:Toma.luca95) and they have asked if they can also request a large instance with a public IP to be used as a staging server for the project.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you need a public IP? If you want to expose http webserver to the web you can set it up already with 'manage proxies' on the left hand sidebar in wikitech.

Hi yuvipanda,

the devs (User:Ruphy and User:Toma.luca95) told me that they "need a public IP to test the interaction with cloudflare [which they use on the production server that are currently donated by University of Milano-Bicocca/GARR]" and having the service behind a proxy would interfere with the other proxies they have.

Hi,

any updates about this?

Ok, so two things:

  1. You can create a large instance, I think there's enough quota for that by default
  2. I unfortunately don't think that's enough reason to provide a public IP - those are in short-ish supply. The proxy is fairly transparent, so try it out and open a bug if there are problems?

I also don't understand why this needs cloudflare?

It is possible have a proxy for *.wikitolearn.org/*.wiki2learn.org domains and subdomains with websocket support?
I can't find admin page where request/manage proxy.
