I don't have the capacity to fit this in at the moment (and I gather that time is a factor for them) so I thought I'd put it out here to see if anyone might be interested.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It's a Rails 1.2 app with MySQL running on Ubuntu. No particularly exotic gems AFAICR - except for the age of what's there.</div><div><br></div><div>It *should* just be a case of downing the current app, backing up the DB, and migrating it. *but* they have no Linux skills in house, so you might have to install the new OS on the new VM and even if they've done that, you'll have to install/setup the DB and get Ruby (1.8.7 - but *maybe* older...) and Rails 1.x (1.2, I think) installed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>They route some requests from their web site to the app for some XML results, and have a UI that they use on the Intranet - but ensuring all the network access is working, I would say would be their responsibility. If you can show the app responding on the new server, that should be the limit of the work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So it shouldn't be a huge job - one day, maybe a little contingency.</div><div>But the trickiest bit is that they are in Basingstoke, and *might* prefer to have someone there onsite doing the work (even though the new host is in the "cloud").</div>
<div>If anyone is interested (particularly any HantsRB-ists lurking!), please drop me a line offlist, and I'll put you in touch.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Michael</div></div>
