Thread: Audio & Video?
All, Where should I upload audio & video files? These are quite large, and none of the existing servers will take them. Do we need a new donated machine for this? --Josh

If they're that large, what makes you think anyone will want to download
them?

For example, for the SFPUG talk I just uploaded to the wiki, I have about 100MB of audio. Next month, I'm expecting to have video of the SFPUG meeting. Ultimately, I'd really like to have a podcast portion of the postgresql.org which organizes this and presents it in a way that people can easily find new stuff. But we could wait for us to consistently generate content, first. --Josh

We chew 100MB+ on the ftp server (multiplied by some large number of
mirrors) every time we make a new set of source releases; not to mention
the binaries that soon follow. 100MB isn't "large" by current
standards.
It's probably fair to discuss what is a reasonable space budget for
audio/video stuff, and maybe to try to prevent it from being mirrored
if the sysadmins think that would be a good idea. But this doesn't
strike me as being too large for the servers we've got.

If we have larger stuff or different needs we can always distribute via ftp.postgresql.org and the mirror network behind it. Stefan

I think the Wiki is not a good place for storing such things. It barely knows that binary files are "images"
I'd agree that this probably doesn't belong in the Wiki or the main www tree. Perhaps a simple host: media.postgresql.org would suffice, with a plain html index template that Josh can edit as he adds items and the ability to serve the content.
If setting up a jail and such for this is a pain right now, I could setup a vhost on my shared hosting box for the time being and setup a generic template for you to edit, Josh.

IMHO if this comes from *PUG, then that *PUG should take the call and sort this out with their resources. After that, a ping to -advocacy and maybe -www in order to let the community know that things are in place. /* capacity planning */ Otherwise: - we are facing a big amount of media heading *.postgresql.org sooner or later. - postgresql.org resources will be assigned to keep this. /* sysadmins running against nagios complaining about space, for instance */ I do support and appreciate Josh's work, in fact the idea and effort rock. But I am a bit concerned on how to handle future situations. If this grows we are gonna face a big problem. One single meeting created 100mb. How many meetings / events / talks are we planning to store? I do have the BsAs December talks still in HD, ~ 1gb of media. Another point of view could be the fact that "spreading the bytes" helps the project advocacy because of the single fact that more sites contain postgresql content. 2 cents and nothing more than that, please feel free to tag this as a stupid mail. gb.- On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 9:33 PM, Gavin M.

What worries me about that is when files start to get much bigger than 100MB, or a bunch are added at once (think 2 day conference with a dozen or more hour long talks), when they get uploaded to the ftp site, within a 24 hour window we'll get around 100 mirrors all trying to rsync them at once - probably far more bandwidth than people actually viewing the stuff!

There is also a postgres-backed company that has hosted high quality video for us in the past. I'll dig up that contact if what you want is long term storage only. But if the point is marketing and reaching out beyond out normal borders, YouTube, flickr, and other socially-oriented services are going to be the most effective. -Selena

OK, that makes sense. Is there a similar service for audio-only podcasts, though? Also, I think what we need is somewhere on the website where we *index* all of this stuff. In fact ... if we just had a way to post audio files, and re-distribute RSS for video to planet.postgresql.org, that would be very helpful. Same thing with slides, actually. --Josh

I'll dig up that contact if what you want is long term storage only. YouTube or similar is nice because it creates exposure. But I'd also like to see a system that gives me access to the plan files for downloading or playing in my own playing system. As an example: http://ftp.ccc.de/congress/25c3/ -- plain and simple.

People watch television series like that on Youtube nowadays. Putting the whole file on media.postgresql.org or similar would be good in addition, of course. I look forward to watching it in any case.
