Fosshost Is Shutting Down

There&#x27;s a serious lack of useful information here.<p>&quot;Due to circumstances outside of the control of the Fosshost volunteers, we are now in a situation where we cannot guarantee our servers will stay online, and in fact expect them to go offline shortly.&quot;<p>and in the link: &quot;I&#x27;m expecting the BOS datacenter to go offline in the very near future.&quot;<p>And in their Twitter profile, they seem to be a non-profit. I presume then that they&#x27;re a formal organization of some sort, and should hopefully have some sort of budget and ability to handle contingencies.<p>So... what&#x27;s going on? What is the &quot;BOS datacenter&quot;? How is a datacenter suddenly going offline?<p>Why does a non-profit dedicated to hosting critically depend on a particular datacenter and can&#x27;t just move to hosting stuff somewhere else?<p>Why are links from September that might be of help explaining already a 404?<p>Also, who are these people, and whose projects are hosted there?

If the approach of the other people at fosshost seems to be that the response to the ceo allegedly potentially embezzling funds&#x2F;derelicting duty (just walking off with control of the bank account and going dark) is simple to shrug and start a new organization, why should we trust them to operate correctly? I&#x27;m not seeing details on what the lessons learned are. If you donated money to fosshost, amd you see the ceo walk away with the money while the rest of the team just decides to start with a new name, why would you then trust that new team with a donation? This whole situation is not confidence inducing.

There was a drama with GNU Octave&#x27;s hosting with Fosshost in late October that seems to have been a precipitant of all this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;octave.discourse.group&#x2F;t&#x2F;fosshost-domains-down&#x2F;3477?page=2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;octave.discourse.group&#x2F;t&#x2F;fosshost-domains-down&#x2F;3477?...</a><p>As usual an inordinate amount of discussion appears to be in a Discord and is therefore unlinkable.

Open source needs sustainable funding models. It&#x27;s hard to tell what fosshost was and how many people are impacted.<p>It&#x27;s also unclear what the Radix project is how it will be different&#x2F;avoid what caused fosshost to shut down.

So curious about the mysterious backstory here. Considering &quot;The Radix Project&quot; appears to be doing the exact same thing that Fosshost is&#x2F;was.

I never heard of Fosshost, but based on the name it was supposed to provide free hosting for open-source projects. What was the plan to sustain it?

My big concern with this whole thing is that users weren&#x27;t alerted as far as I can tell. I happened to visit the website for the first time in ages and saw the news, but if I hadn&#x27;t done that I would never have known until my site went offline (I guess only users on Twitter got notified).<p>Anyways, alternative suggestions welcome, our open source project has no money for hosting and has a few services outside of our static site that actually need a VPN to run. A small 1CPU 512MB box (or whatever it was) was plenty for us as we&#x27;re not big, but we can&#x27;t afford to buy that from anyone and now we&#x27;re having to scramble to ask related businesses who use our stuff for sponsorship and hope one of them comes through.

I note there is a copy of their old site here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fossho.st&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fossho.st&#x2F;</a>

Is that something publicly available where the ArchiveTeam should be involved to save data that could be otherwise forever lost?

What services was Fosshost hosting and who were they hosting for?

This is exactly no-name &quot;FOSS&quot; non-profits are a bad choice for community organizing.<p>There&#x27;s really no reason not to host on industry-standard free hosting, ie Github or Gitlab.

Ok, I tried doing this but now its blocking me from posting further. I think since it needs to keep context, jumping back and forth with ls, cd is causing issues.<p>For my iteration there were 4 videos in the Documents folder, would have been cool to see what they videos were...
