	* Darin is trying to add a captcha or similar to the contact form on bikebike.org to reduce spam and make gmail reject us less.

			=Recommended Infrastructure=

			🍿
			==KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine):==


			https://my.racknerd.com/index.php?rp=/store/special-promos
			LARGE STORAGE - 8GB KVM
			4x vCPU Core
			200 GB SSD Cached RAID-10 Storage
			8 GB RAM
			8000GB Monthly Premium Bandwidth
			1Gbps Public Network Port
			Full Root Admin Access
			2 Dedicated IPv4 Addresses
			KVM / SolusVM Control Panel - Reboot, Reinstall, Manage rDNS, & much more
			SERVER LOCATION - Los Angeles
			JUST $135/YEAR - WOW!!

			==Software Management / System Administration:==

			*🫙Container Management:
			**Docker ( https://www.docker.com/why-docker/ ) utilizing docker-compose.yml files


			==Required Containers:==

			*https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion - handles the automated creation, renewal and use of SSL certificates for proxied Docker containers through the ACME protocol (aka Lets Encrypt).

			VIRTUAL_HOST=bb.bikelover.org,en.bikelover.org,en.bb.bikelover.org,es.bb.bikelover.org,fr.bb.bikelover.org
			LETSENCRYPT_HOST=bb.bikelover.org,en.bikelover.org,en.bb.bikelover.org,es.bb.bikelover.org,fr.bb.bikelover.org
			LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=bike@bikelover.org
			VIRTUAL_PORT=3000

			**??? just automates the whole process, it is wonderful

			*https://github.com/djmaze/resticker/ - Run automatic restic ( https://restic.net/ ) backups via a Docker container to a cloud backup service (see below).
			*it's what people are now moving to

			===Cloud Backup Service:===


			*Backblaze - https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html - low cost Cloud Storage
			**much lower cost, sooo low cost. egress is completely free
			**has their own database servers (better than some sort of blockchain backup thingy)
			**can be used with a CDN as well w/ free egress - https://try.backblaze.com/content-delivery-with-backblaze-and-cloudflare/ (they also work with non-cloudflare CDNs which might be advisable given CloudFlare's politics/policies: https://www.metafilter.com/196349/CloudflareProtectsTerrorists)


			==Recommended Containers:==
			:)


			*Full Stack Mail Server
			**https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver
			***no graphical front end, you just manage it from the command line (there are some that do have a graphical front end)
			***1400 forks, 1900 stars, 242 contributers
			***includes basics like smtp and imap, plus things like LDAP (could use for unified logins, maybe)
			**this would REPLACE GMAIL YAAAY (you can still connect gmail to it for basic sending/receiving mail)
			**GUI might be advisable for making admin accessible to more people
			**initially could be on the same kvm. should work fine on the same kvm. can revisit if it doesn't.
			**postman was hell to try to manage
			**now all the cool stuff is put together and done for you. easy to manage. they even have a little management program. and if you need a dkim certificate it generates that for you. any capability you need is built into this
			**should also support mass emailing?

			*Team Password Manager
			**https://www.passbolt.com/ ( https://hub.docker.com/r/passbolt/passbolt/ )
			***other than poor compatibility with old android devices it has been working wonderfully
			***low cost
			***you never have to know the password, you can just use the thing. like in chrome for instance, there's an extension to fill in the username and password
			***you have a security certificate that you can't lose or you lose access to the passwords and we'd have to generate you a new one


			==BikeBike Infrastructure:==

			*GNU Mailman 3 Deployment with Docker - https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman
			**Migrate DreamHost / bikecollectives.org instance to this new version
			**Would host ThinkTank and other email lists (e.g. bikebike-everywhere) - thinktank is actually hosted on bikecollectives.org
			**Would use the full-stack mailserver (above) so it'll have the same DKIM certificates, etc. (should improve our spamminess ratings)

			*MediaWiki - https://hub.docker.com/_/mediawiki
			**Migrate DreamHost instance
			**should be a lot faster unless there's a bug that's causing it to be slow. would also give us more scope for diagnosing bugs than dreamhost

			*During the development phase of the new BikeBike server API and GUI Client(s) - Dockerized version of Godwin's BikeBike - https://git.bikeshopi.dev/bike/BikeBikeBike
			**Strategy to update BumbleBerry - Dockerize the current live version of BikeBike.org (frozen code); Docker cron job would update BumbleBerry in this instance, and copy the updates to the live, newer version. [Could also eliminate bumbleberry and use the latest generated static CSS files, since the compatibility issues it addresses are mostly non-issues now. Just copy-paste the blob that it generates when you visit bikebike.org.]
			**Lingua Franca might not be necessary either, or at least it might not need to be run very often.



			=Migration/planning:=

			*Godwin's availability for migrating existing e.g. bikecollectives.org services is limited
			*initially set up with subdomains or spare domains while setting up and testing
			*can easily set up test instances separate from live instances thanks to docker
			*benefit to starting right away on the KVM cloud server vs. setting it up on a local machine first for testing? easier to just set it up on the KVM from the beginning.

			=Sidenotes:=

			*the "Bike Collectives Workbench" project was meant to be a place where anyone who's given access can contribute translations. It isn't hosted or used anywhere now.
			*https://git.bikeshopi.dev/bike/BikeBikeBike/src/branch/master/docker-compose.yml
			* Darin is trying to add a captcha or similar to the contact form on bikebike.org to reduce spam and make gmail reject us less. Could do it with [https://github.com/igorkasyanchuk/new_google_recaptcha this gem] (is there anything that must be done when adding a gem to the project?) or maybe do it [https://dev.to/morinoko/adding-recaptcha-v3-to-a-rails-app-without-a-gem-46jj without a gem]. Communication difficulties due to bad network connection; we'll talk about it next time.
