Future for tripleawarclub.org domain
-
@lafayette Off topic but what is the cost for triplea-game.org per year?
-
@prastle $146.72 for 10 years. Needs renewal Oct 2025
-
@LaFayette I just wanted to mention we still have the dice servers running PHP 7 on dice.tripleawarclub.org and dice-staging.tripleawarclub.org
So the dice server would need to be migrated client side first. -
@roiex Let's get that done! We've a few months before renewal, that gives us some time.
-
bump on this one, unless we have a reason to keep the domain, it's a long-term decision, but it seems like we should stop paying for it and release it if not using it.
-
I cross-posted this in github for more developer visibility as well: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/3722
-
I'm fine with dropping it.
-
@redrum bump
-
@prastle @All If anyone is interested in this domain it is going up for sale shortly.
-
@prastle BUMP!
tripleawarclub.org will be closed Nov 25/2018 unless someone is interested in the domain. -
@ssoloff I'll try to get the HTTPS config working today, but I just realised we need to migrate the mail server in time as well.
I recall you having some knowledge on this topic a while back, that's why im asking you if you have an idea on what needs to be done. -
@RoiEX I remember setting up Postfix inside a Docker container like 1.5 years ago.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what would be required during a domain migration. -
@ssoloff Do you think you could get a basic SMTP server going in time if I setup an mx DNS record?
-
@RoiEX Unlikely, given it's Thanksgiving week here in the US.
Maybe we should just renew the domain for another year and only let it expire once everything has been migrated?
-
I'll try getting something working then.
Renewing the domain should be the last resort though. -
We could of course just do the same thing we did with the forum and just use a generic Gmail account.
And perhaps create a dedicated mail in the future, looks like it's going to a little bit more complicated than I thought: Apparently CNAME records take precedence over MX records, which we use for github pages.
Thoughts? -
@RoiEX Sorry, no. When I set up the Docker container, I punted on that aspect by offloading specification of the mail account to the user running the container. That would be no different than your dedicated Gmail account idea.
-
Too bad, I remember having a conversation with you regarding that topic now.
But AFAIK we're currently not using docker for the live system, so fiddling around with some php or sendmail configs might be a viable option for now.
Can you think of any other potential option that I might be able to pull off in time, that doesn't involve running a dedicated mail server on our own?
If not I'll do what I can on the weekend. -
@RoiEX Sorry, nothing comes to mind other than what's already been discussed.
-
Nevermind then, maybe @LaFayette or @redrum have an idea on what could be done.
