Hosting a small python web app for community development

[Nick Burch <ni...@apache.org>]

Hi

We've got a small python webapp for comdev[1], which we'd ideally like to 
appear underneath part of http://community.apache.org/ . It's only a few 
urls that could happily be under the same base url.

The application in question is written in django, so can be hosted with 
mod_python, mod_wsgi, fastcgi, or cgi at a pinch.

Is there a machine we can run this on, and can we proxy to it?

Thanks
Nick

It is my understanding that we should not be running mission critical 
apps on a zone. Is this the case?

Assuming that a zone is not suitable for mission critical stuff do we 
have any other options on ASF hardware?

Hi Comdev/nick,

Rather, you should request a zone or jail (comdev.zones.apache.org) from 
infrastructure [create a jira ticket] and run whatever you want there.
For several reasons i.e (security, failover, mirroring, and maintenance) 
we do not run any dynamic content on $tlp.apache.org. Additionally, we 
don't Proxy from $tlp.apache.org to anything even zones, so you should 
just use  the zone url directly.
