Sahana has been donated a dedicated server by Zen Internet.
This runs Xen to allow us to have a few different machines protected from each other.
Dom0 is run on Ubuntu 804:
- http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-8.04-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories
- http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking
We then have DomUs running the same OS for:
- Trac
- Demo
- Testing
- Hackfests
- IRC bot
- Phenny (Trac updates like #openlayers)
- TalkSahana Twitter channel updates: http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter-bot/
The Hackfest machine can be turned off between hacks to free up resources for the other systems.
The hackfest machine includes a Bzr repository & an Apache/WSGI instance with Admin accessible remotely. There is a CGI available to restart Apache when-needed.
The Testing machine could include a desktop accessible via VNC:
Accessing full 6Gb RAM: http://www.howtoforge.com/make-your-xen-pae-kernel-work-with-more-than-4gb-ram-debian-etch-grub
Xen Management Tools: http://www.howtoforge.com/xen_tools_xen_shell_argo
Both VM technologies can be managed using OpenQRM in a DomU.

VMWare
Would be good to also add a Windows Test environment in VMWare Server, but VMWare can't run with a Xen kernel :/
(This CPU doesn't include vmx support :/)
