I got my new development server up and running… Well, its not new. I’ve upgraded an old 1U nameserver from 500MHZ/64MB to 900MHZ/320MB… It has been merrily been running along on Ubuntu Breezy since day 1.
There a three goals for this server..
Track thing.net development projects.
start developing thing.net’s next generation hosting platform… … Virtualization, Apache2, and the php5/mysql5 move…
Offer SCM/Project tracking support for small teams working on new media related software projects.
To meet these goals I’m going to have to back track a little since I found Xen… IE) backup the current setup, install a Xen dom0, then rebuild dev.thing.net in a vm…
goals 1 and 3 are met by a nice installation of trac/svn and a nice create_project script I wrote which automates setting up svn, trac, and apache for a project.
