Future for tripleawarclub.org domain
-
@RoiEX Funny enough, lobby is decoupled pretty strongly from email. How marti+email are set up on the servers is the current and largest systems documentation gap we have. There was zero documentation of any system setup when I took over the servers, that's better now, though as mentioned, marti+email have no documentation to them. I do not know how they work or are configured.
-
@RoiEX more directly, I think chances are good that is safe. We'd probably need to recreate the manual testing that was originally done for marti, ie: set up a test server, deploy the PHP code, hack the client to use the new test server, and verify it works.
-
why are we paying $20+ per year for registration? just curious.

Also, i would say the fact that nobody knows how the marti server(s) work should be considered a top priority item. If we don't know how it works, how do we even know if it delivers quality results?

Well @ssoloff and myself have a pretty decent overview over the code (this is all the code there is).
The problems of undocumented things really only becomes relevant once we leave our code and start being dependent on system configuration.
This is the case when MARTI calls the mail function, which invokes (we assume from the php documentation) the sendmail tool which then somehow sends a mail to somewhere which somehow lands into a users inbox most of the time. The details in-between are what's missing here.
But I'll try to have a look, maybe it's simpler than it seems and really all we need to do is to adjust the mail address -

Because that's what they charge us for this domain. As long as MARTI still runs on it we need it in order for things to work
-
@RoiEX why don't we transfer it to something cheaper? google, for instance, charges 12 per year and including privacy.
-
I mean this is the only domain we have left there and the original plan was to drop it last year, so renewing it was just meant as a temporary thing
-
@RoiEX gotcha
-
Ok, I spent some time digging through the config files of the warclub server, and I think I found everything I needed, so if @LaFayette and @redrum give their approval on this we could migrate everything before the deadline.
Technical details can be found here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/5091
-
@RoiEX I spoke with @LaFayette and we decided it was best to just renew it again to give time for the work to be finished.

@LaFayette All good hopefully another year will suffice since no one wanted to keep warclub
