We don't have our own machines that are capable of handling this. If you're offering to host them for us for at least two years for free: get in touch.

- hueving 10y agoWell now we'll see if the cost excuse was just a smokescreen I suppose.
- mikemcquaid 10y agoIt's the cost of running the servers, the experience and time to run the servers and the time to adjust our analytics code to use the new system (which I'm willing to do). Additionally, this (kind) offer is pointing to other organisations that may be able to host the servers and discussing potential solutions to the other options. It's not a slam-dunk by any means. This is all done in my free time so I don't need an excuse to do or not do any of this.
- justinclift 10y agoHmmm.... probably better to see how it turns out before jumping to conclusions. :) From initial discussion with Mike, there are two parts that would be needed for a (self hosted) setup: a) The hosting itself (this is something I can likely help with) b) Setup and ongoing management of Piwik. This isn't a skill set I have (nor am interested in). However I'm generally thinking the Homebrew Community is big enough to rustle up at least a few people with the right skill set for getting this done (and keeping it done :>). Trying to get both hosting + Piwik setup/mgmt from the same set of people may be a tall order, so doing them separately is probably more achievable. As a data point, this kind of approach - sponsored hosting/hw/similar + volunteers to look after Community infra - is used successfully in other projects. PostgreSQL is a good example. Can't really think of any obvious reasons it wouldn't work for Homebrew too. ;)
