Description

Project Name: capacity-exchange

Wikitech Usernames of requestors: awight

Purpose: Pilot site for the Capacity Exchange, a movement strategy initiative.

Brief description: The Capacity Exchange is explained on its project page. Will run two java/scala apps, node, postgresql, rails. A very rough and high estimate is that several thousand users will visit occasionally, perhaps monthly. Something like cores4.ram8.disk20 should be more than enough.

How soon you are hoping this can be fulfilled: this month.

Did you consider Toolforge instead of Cloud VPS ? For web services we usually recommend looking at Toolforge first, and if not well suited, explain why.

I'm open to using either, but this page makes me think that Cloud VPS is the right hosting, because this application has many interrelated parts which need to run as services. For reference, this is the docker-compose config that I'm building for local development. One particularly troublesome detail is that the app uses an apache config file to route requests to its various backends, and requires an unusual mod_auth_openidc.so to be loaded into apache.

If these don't sound like major obstacles, I could try to set the app up on toolforge and report back with my experiences.

Ok, thanks for the clarifications. Will talk to the team to get this approved.
