TripleA Server Costs
-
@LaFayette 70 for 10 years is pretty decent
-
@ubernaut namecheap FTW.. except was a bit off. $170 for 9 years
-
@LaFayette ouch thats actually abt fair these days. kinda sad google sold off their domains business it was very convent and a great deal
-
The biggest cost savings we could get right now are perhaps to [...] remove one of the bots, which are $5/month/bot. Both of which seem like bad moves.
Is it? Maybe I'm overlooking or missing from the lobby when it's really busy, but I'm under the impression that it would be very much safe to remove 1 bot (going down from 15 to 12 automated hosts). Since I've been back, I've never seen the bots anywhere near being all taken.
-
I would suggest waiting a month or two before removing one. There may be some people still transitioning to the new lobby and/or it might start gaining popularity.
Better to have a couple empty than not enough imo
-
Good points, we need to also keep in mind that the bots need to be available for peak lobby activity.
-
@LaFayette And I guess also the possibility of them breaking down. About that, if currently there are 5 servers of 3 bots each (for a total of 15), it seems like that only 10 out of 15 bots are currently working. This appears to be the situation:
California: 1 out of 3 working.
Jersey: 2 out of 3 working.
Toronto: 2 out of 3 working.
London: all working.
Frankfurt: 2 out of 3 working.
(Also, I understand that, thanks to @eyeswideshut, there are now 2 additional private-but-open bots dedicated to its Revised ladder.)
-
Monday, 7:20 pm UTC, bot shortage again. It doesn't seem like enough bots atm, it seems common for there to be shortages at peak times.
-
All 15 TripleA automated hosts are now working (so that's a total of 17 with @eyeswideshut's ones). Did anyone do anything or was it just something automated? Just curious.
-
@Cernel Thanks for flagging this. For the Revised Ladder bots, I set them up to run inside persistent tmux sessions on the AWS server, so they remain active even after I disconnect from SSH or close my computer. I also created separate run scripts for the bots and a startup script that launches them together, which makes them easier to restart and keep online. So far, that setup seems to be working and the Revised Ladder bots are still running, although I’m continuing to monitor them in case one freezes or disconnects. I am paying about $10 a month for both headless servers which I understand is consistent with what triplea in general is paying for the bots.

I guess this means that you are paying $5 per bot? What I understand @lafayette said is that TripleA is paying $5 per server of 3 bots, which would be $1.66 per bot.
-
@Cernel ah my bad. so I'm paying more. My Bots are cloud-based for better or for worse. They seem to be working fine but I haven't had crashes that I'm aware of.
