#ΕΛΛΑΔΑ2_0

I have an important announcement to make. This is going to be a long post, but please, keep reading.

After a lot of consideration, I decided that it's time to take the next step when it comes to the services I've been hosting for the last two years.

So, the bigger change will be to move the services to a new domain, and maybe to a new server, probably with a bit more resources than the current one.

The plan is the following:

- The server is going to be run mostly as a pubnix, with a few services running on it for its users.

- We need to set up services that will be sustainable to run for a long time, in a relatively small budget, as much as it's possible.

- The decisions for the server should be taken by the majority of users and not by a single entity (the administrator).

Also, I'm considering of setting the new service in a few phases.

Phase 0:

Preparation for setting up the services, getting a new domain name (and server, if needed). The basic services should be set up at this point.

Phase 1:

The basic services will be up and running, ready to be accessible by the users. At this point, the old services will be slowly discontinued.

Some of the services that will be up at this point are the following:

- Website for our services and our users
- Fediverse instance (with alternative frontends)
- XMPP server (with MUC and voice/video calls support)
- Shells for registered users
- Email server (for use mostly from administrators of the service)

Phase 2:

Additional services will be set up when the services at Phase 1 will be considered stable. The old services will have been discontinued.

The services we'll add at this point are the following:

- Tor and I2P support for our pages
- Gemini and Gopher server for users, as well as pages for our services
- Mumble server
- Git server
- Radio stream
- File upload service

Phase 3:

At this phase, we will stop adding additional services (unless it's needed) and work on the maintenance of the ones will be running at this point.

Also, we'll considering of discontinuing the following services:

- IRC
- Minecraft server

The IRC server might be discontinued, since it was barely used. The Minecraft server will be discontinued because it has been difficult to run and it doesn't really worth the effort in my opinion.

So, where we are now?

Currently, we are at the beginning of the Phase 0, planning the new services. At this point, I think some help will be needed.

First, from the people of this instance, especially @Saphiroth, @MoonArcadia, @Floppa and @spacejunkie:

I need your feedback about the services, what would you like to see being added, changed or removed and the most important, picking a new name.

Second, from the administrators of local instances like Kafeneio or Electric Requiem, I need feedback about stuff that aren't necessarily technical, but are important to avoid potential issues, like legal stuff etc.

Last, but not least, from everyone who has experience on pubnixes etc., we'll need assistance on setting up our server for our needs. Some of the services we'll probably need help with are the following:

- Email server
- LDAP
- Setting up the system for usage as pubnix etc.

We will also need suggestions for a VPS provider. We currently use Contabo for our service and we didn't have any issues lately, but considering the issues other administrators had, we are considering to move our services to another provider.

That's what are we will working on for the next few months. I hope things will go well for us for the near future.

Thanks for reading.
