Please create cloud.torproject.org

    • Closed (moved) Issue created by Runa Sandvik @runa

    As part of #4057 (closed), I'd like to have access to put content on cloud.torproject.org.

    To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information

      How are we putting content up here? Is this hosted by us or expresstech? Is it a static html site? I'd prefer to just redirect cloud.tpo to the current domain.

      (1) Jeremy put together the design and emailed me everything. I just need rw access to a directory so that I can put it online.

      (2) This will be hosted by us. The Tor Project will host the website and maintain the images. Expression Technologies will run bridges.

      (3) The page is some static HTML, some javascript and some images.

      Can we please move this forward now?

      istr that we talked about it on irc at some point, and reached the conclusion tpo/cloud would be fine too? That'd be easy to achieve

      How about we put this in projects, since it is a project of ours. https://www.torproject.org/projects/cloud is a fine url as any.

      Wait what? I started to create torproject.org/projects/cloud last month, only to be told that we should make it completely separate (i.e. cloud.torproject.org with a design different than what we have on www.torproject.org).

      I have no idea where these discussions happened. I created cloud.torproject.org. My original thought was that someone else creates 'tor cloud servers' like 'tor servers' and runs their own thing, not us. However, it seems no one else is doing it but us, so we'll just host some images and be a lead generation tool for amazon aws.

      cloud.torproject.org is awaiting html. where do I find the tarball?

      What do you mean by "runs their own thing"? Anyone can run bridges, but someone will have to maintain the images and and publish them somewhere.

      You've got mail. Can I have access to edit the html once it's up? I want to update the cloud images and the documentation that we have.

      I mean that someone else runs tor cloud servers on their own, we were going to have nothing to do with it. It seems we've created images so anyone with an AWS account can run their own bridges/relays. Maybe torservers.net can use our images and cause more bridges/relays to appear.

      And you have git patches. Right now, only root as access to the non-www.tpo sites, like cloud.tpo until we figure out a better model for permissions.

      Oh, so you didn't want us to maintain the images either? I thought that was the plan all along.

      Thanks, I'll add them to tor-cloud.git later today. In the future, should I just ask you to pull changes from my git repo and push things live?

      The original plan was 'they who create and run the images, do it all'. This was because TPI cannot run parts of the Tor network, lest we accept far more liability than we can afford, nevermind trust issues, legal ISP issues, etc.

      This plan is just providing AWS images, like packages, that we will not take funding to run. Someone with their own AWS account can spin up our images and join the tor network. These AWS images are no different than downloading the bridge-by-default or relay-by-default package and running it on your own computer.

      For now, yes.
