Add live.nixos.org DNS entry #213
Conversation
For the Summer of Nix Lecture Series we set up an Owncast instance, currently running under live.bjth.xyz. I'd be better marketing if we ran that under live.nixos.org instead :).

It currently has none. Will add one if this is necessary.

IPv6 is an important part of making sure our services are accessible. We don't have total coverage, but we're trying to support it where possible. Can you check into that?

I think it should have an IPv6 address now. Don't really have a way of testing it, sorry 😞.

One of the issues we are facing as the infra team is how to keep track and contact the various owners of infrastructure. Some argument could also be made around security and attack surfaces.
I think as long as it's temporary, it's fine, but if the instance stays around, we should consider transferring the machine and configuration to the infra team.
I like the initiative and enthusiasm so please don't take this as a criticism :)
We were thinking about also using either that machine, or just the setup, for NixCon 2022. We're testing out the setup during this year's Summer of Nix. After those events the platform could still be used to stream though, but I don't think it'd need to be online 24/7. I do agree that it'd be better if the machine, and configuration, were in hands of the infra team. We're currently still playing, and discovering, it ourselves 😄. What do you think the best way forward is? |

For now, I applied the changes, and we can revisit that question after NixCon is over. |
Some of these are a bit after the specified time period, but I also believe some of these items are difficult to gauge how much "impact" they had.
