I have hosted the open-source gitlab software on a VM on my home server. It seems to work-alike to
</div>
<div>
github, but it avoids reliance on 'someone else' since it is open source. It installed and
</div>
<div>
came up with minimal effort. I cannot test the email capabilities as my ISP doesn't let their customers
</div>
<div>
export MX records to DNS. This is a common problem with dynamic DNS, as ISP's are weary to host
</div>
<div>
user mail exchanges because fly-by-night email spammers would be a continual problem.
<br>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Should we identify a server under project control and test out something like this?

Hi all,
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I strongly recommend that this project
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
a) use revision control
</div>
<div>
b) host its own SVN / git / etc. server
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Relying on things like GitHub is not safe in the long term, because corporate decisions can change abruptly on what is offered free to the community and what is not. Also, many of the "free" services make absolutely no guarantees about where any of the data is backed up, what the backup schedule is, etc.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I relate these pieces of advice from painful experience at MIT Haystack. Our group believed Dropbox when they rolled out a storage plan with very large upper bound limits for MIT. A couple years ago, they abruptly cancelled that policy and assigned a very large per year fee for the storage we had been using. I'm still trying to figure out how to extract 100s of TB of data from them, and some of it may be lost for good.

Hi Steve - thanks for the offer !
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
This brings up a general question: should TangerineSDR / PSWS host this kind of software someplace?
</div>
<div>
One could imagine that over time there may be an increasing number of software utilities and packages of
</div>
<div>
interest to the group, it would be nice to have them accessible through one link or portal (ideally with revision control ! ).
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Is this something the group should consider? If so, is github the right solution?, a page of links?, something else?

Hi All-
<br>
<br> I will add a comment if it is of interest, that I wrote some code a while back in python that directly calculates the magnetic field using the IGRF coefficients and derivatives (useful in a ray tracer). If you guys want that, I could package it up and send it over to anyone interested.
<br>
<br> Thanks,
<br> Steve
