Offering my servers to build FreeCAD, realthunder's fork and PRs

The servers are located in a professional datacenters, but they are not storage optimized.

I misunderstood, I thought you meant that they were some old or spare or unused physical survers in your house or business, on some home or low end business Internet connection plan.

What do you think about self-hosted-azure-pipelines:

This way some of the more heavy dependencies of freecad are able to run on the server. Currently heavy libraries like qt need too much time to finish building (6hours azure limit):

I have already finished setting up on Cyclonit's server. The build script should be able to automate a daily build. Anyone has any idea how to host the daily build for others to download? I don't want to host this directly on Cyclonit's server obviously.

I am out and about on my phone just now, so I haven't researched this suggestion, but can't you just push it to your Github account as a downloadable asset, like we do with FreeCAD master snapshots etc. ? There would be capacity limits I guess but if you have nothing else in your account's downloads I guess they would allow it. I could be wrong.

That sounds like a good idea to tie in the servers into the existing infrastructure.

According to https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-tea ... t-releases there is only a 2GB limit on every individual file added to a release. There are no limits to a release's total size or bandwith usage. Using GitHub for publishing the assets keeps everything in one place.

Is this still active?

If we could build the offline docs here it would be cool.
Full disclosure I haven't succeeded locally. If we could figure this out maybe we could update the docs a few times during a dev cycle.
Yorik does this all now. Even if the CI doesn't continue here we could port it to a different service.

Anybody want to create a working group to try?

Hi sgrogan, yes it certainly is. Realthunder and kkremitzki have acces to the servers. Though I didn't have any spare time to check in with them since my last post.

An aside, I really would love it if we had daily appimages
