Closing ns334561.ip-5-196-65.eu

Postby f-ojac » Thu Jan 21, 2021 12:17 am

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry to announce that, due to personal reasons, I have to shutdown the server at ns334561.ip-5-196-65.eu.
This server hosted a few services, such as old sceneries, tgweb service and an out-of-sync Terrasync mirror.
All tgweb files are stored in fgmeta, so there should be no problem if someone wants to take it over.
Else, please let me know via PM, I can open a ssh link if someone is willing to sync the server (it's easier than to start from scratch).
The server will stop at the end of February.
I've been happy to run those services over the last few years, but it's time for me to start other projects now.
I hope you enjoyed it!

Hi f-ojac,

Else, please let me know via PM, I can open a ssh link if someone is willing to sync the server (it's easier than to start from scratch).


I am in the process of setting up another mirror to do the same task, it's been very time consuming as of yet. I want to confirm my interpretation, are you looking for someone to manage this server in your place beyond February?

Cheers,

Patrick T.

P.S. You can also send me a PM to discuss should you prefer.

The FlightGear Airport Web Generator (TGWeb) will be missed. Thank you, @f-ojac, for developing it and providing the service for so long!
I hope someone will step up and continue to provide this service to scenery designers, at least until WS3.0 is fully functional.

Hi f-ojac and community,
Was anyone else ever able to spin up a replacement TGWeb server?

If not, I’d like to volunteer. Though new to the community and FlightGear, I have enough sysadmin experience to spin up a VM and get it running, and am willing to contribute some resources to cover hosting for a while.

Or if someone else already has this inflight, then I may be able to contribute some work (or a donation for hosting). Let me know how I can help!

I've got f-ojac's Airport Web Generator running here:
http://beta.tgweb.org/TGBuild/

I successfully tested several airports from the X-Plane gateway, but would definitely appreciate some additional eyes for more testing as well!

Also submitted a PR with a couple of very minor changes I made to the script (accepting newer WED version IDs and the like).

Hey there...

great to see that this got taken over.

I've tried it (with EDDM, latest apt.dat from the gateway)

Unfortunately didn't it contain any elevation.

Same (elevation) problem generating UUEE. Airports sits way below the rest of the terrain

IIRC (!) the terragear web generator never used elevation, as it was designed for testing an airport layout, not for replacing a local terragear version.

hm... in the logs there where some paths with srtm mentioned... so I thought it would do that.

f-ojac, thank you for making and hosting that tool, I learned alot from using it and was even able to make my own island airport with it (no elevation problems there!) I could never get around to figuring out terragear and your site let me experiment and actually make things that I could see and use.

TwentyOneAlpha thank you too for picking up the hosting, I am unable to reach the url, are you still hosting, any updates?

if someone provides me with a working container which I can run rootless under podman, I could host this (depending on the load, I'd add registration)

whoops, Oracle killed my supposedly always-free instance without so much as a heads-up. (You get what you pay for, I suppose...)

Up and running again now. Agree that containerization would be a better approach esp for hosting to be moved or shared in the future. When I get some time I'll try to put together a script to build/package as such...
