Server and Domain migrations

Build Server:

GeoCat can provide a build server - what do we need:

  • = 50 GB disk

  • 16 - 32 GB memory

  • Require Jenkins, Java, Maven, Ant, Sphinx, PostGIS

  • Host artifacts via nginx server

  • Ubuntu 18.04

GeoCat will provide a VM with these specs

Action: Torben will migrate build server installation to this VM.

Domains:

Relevant people responding on trac tickets: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2416

Still need to hear from Eclipse, Jody will reach out again (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=560743)

Tom wants to wait to hand over domains until we actually start doing server migrations (jenkins, artifactory, etc.) so they can coincide.
