slrpnk.net instance mirrors for more resilience? (slrpnk.net)

~~Was anyone else unable to connect to slrpnk in the last week or so? Was the server down or was it something on my end?~~

Just saw the other post about the server outage so feel the below is relevant:

Is there a way to make slrpnk more resilient by having community members host mirrors of the instance? I also feel this is in line with the ethos of solarpunk where we'd rather have many decentralised instances that can support each other and provide mutual resilience, rather than a single critical instance.

What are people's thoughts?

(I might be able to volunteer my home server for this if I can cover the requirements)

Quick thoughts:

It would expose user data to more admins
Someone would still need to update DNS
Data synchronization is not trivial
it's an additional overhead

Still like the general idea though

Yeah I agree - from the research I've done it doesn't seem to be an established Fediverse practice so I couldn't find any off the shelf tools or guides but I would be interested in teaming up with people and working on a novel solution if need be

I would be interested in finding others to share a https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ S3 media storage cluster. Would your server be somewhat close to Portugal (<200ms network latency) and have at least a terabyte free storage? I recently set up a local 4TB storage node with local replications, but the ultimate goal would be to add some remote hosts to it as well.

yeah I think I could spare 1TB of storage and my ping to Portugal is around 50ms

Good to know. I'll keep that in mind and will message you once I find the time to work on this a bit more. Don't expect it to be soon as my todo list is really swamped right now. But you could look into hosting Garage already on your server regardless on when I get around looking into it again.

cool - yeah I can have a look myself but let me know!
