I think the idea of setting up an LD Ninjam server
is great, however is it really ness to find a permanant home... (unless someone
here is gonna donate one). Installing the NinJam server is incedibly simple,
even for complete idiots like me, and you don't need a special "server" machine
either. My server that i have been running is just on my work machine and I can
basically have it running whenever Im not working.
What WOULD be a good idea however would be a page
that can track what servers are currently up and running, and number of current
users. Exactly like the Jam Farm page. So I would, for example, register my
server IP on this page, and then it would track when I was running... maybe
some hassle of course... but could be a more flexible and
collaborative solution than one dedicated server that may go sown and have
no one to fix... Lets ALL put up servers and share by a centralised info
hub???

Subject: Re: Ninjam server
That does sound pretty good actually, mech. 500g a month is a
lot of data transfer, I really doubt we'd approach that unless there
were sessions all day, every day. They do provide source code that's
compilable on Linux, on that download
page. Once we talk with the folks who set up the Kyberfest, if things
still look likely, we could do a few sessions and test to see how hard we're
hitting the server.
In the Kyberfest group there was a lot of voiced
interest in ongoing sessions. I know for me personally I could do any number
of sessions a week, and just having the availability would be well worth it. I
think involvement would grow as familiarity with the software increased, too.
Others?

Hrm, I was just looking at the specs, and this may not be
quite so bad. Although my server's only got 512meg of RAM (I've only
got 512m? I could swear I'm paying for 1gig.), it's still looking like
there's enough horsepower -- and certainly enough diskspace -- to
spare. I'm connected through an OC192 in the datacenter, so I think
the bandwidth is good just so long as we don't go above my 500gb traffic
allotment on any given month. I do need to see if I can get the
software to compile, however (i'm on linux).
I think it's worth
having a conversation with some of the experts, but before I go too far, I'd
like to know how much interest there is in this really? Anybody else
like the idea of another Ninjam server out there? If we get one set
up, is it actually gonna get used?
TIA!!!
