Hello, first, many thanks for those giving feedback on this topic. I reply on my email, to have the content of the initial post, on the other replies being dispersed. Not being much discussed lately, I think it is time to analyze and see if result stays final. That would be: use github as main git repository for kamailio source code. Besides the majority of the opinions being for github, here are my remarks for self hosted based on the replies, but also mainly on the past experience. Not to forget, first many thanks to Fred for offering resources to deal with self hosted. However, there are many other aspects making self-hosted option hard to deal with: - having only one volunteer, with no ensured income for this specific work, puts a high risk on the future. Back in 2008, there were many from Kamailio and SER project helping with our infrastructure. Over the years, it ended up with me doing a lot and some help occasionally from Henning or Jan. Time can changes priorities of tasks from work or life, it is not something bad at all, just has impact in how we should decide. - while lod.com offered already some systems (e.g., where we keep rpm mirrors), there was no direct relation with the project and overall, nothing during a long period of time. I don't really feel confident in very long term with a sponsored system from a company, not having a commercial agreement to ensure SLA and availability. Companies can be bought, management change or employs/collaborators leave - maybe not that important, but given that most of developers are based in Europe, I would like to have the server hosted by a company in this area, because in case of unexpected issues, we can deal with it at decent time of the day. While sysadmin/maintenance can be done from anywhere at anytime, here we talk about unexpected critical issues. Existing system is from Hetzner, which gives really good remote management (including boot console via web, soft and hard restart via web page), but also on-side hands-on services from their team at a fair price. Evaluating what is offered by other hosting companies probably would take time as well - we lack sysadmin resources even now, excepting the maintenance of git/sip-router.org, like having proper rpm repository, backup for kamailio.org and nightly tarballs have to be refactored. Even some lod.com systems sit unused now because we lacked resources to turn them on something useful for the project (also the rpm mirror is half way, mainly manual update) - we were before using sourceforge.net (ser used berlios) with pretty good experience. It will be really hard to offer better availability and maintenance than one of those repository hosting services. The main goal with own git repo was to integrate SER CVS with Kamailio SVN repos, now that is finished. We will have a real time mirror on kamailio.org and we can always shift to another solution if what is at a specific time proves to be very bad Those are my opinions, if some of them are wrong or I have missed anything relevant for any of the options, reply to mailing lists.
