Servers and Web Resources
VHS Operates many servers inside our space and rents a few Virtual Servers for external operations.
Virtual Servers
We currently rent some virtual servers from GreenQloud, an Icelandic VPS provider. (100% Renewable energy, wooo!)
* Home.hackspace.ca - used for projects that need to be up all the time * mail.hackspace.ca - mail server and mailing lists machine
VHS API
VHS API is a simple HTTP interface to store values from various sensors. VHS API has a notion of a “Hackspace” which may have various “Datapoints”. Each “Datapoint” has a current value, a time it was last set, and a full history of changes.
The code is up on Github: https://github.com/vhs/api Read the README for more information on how to hack on this software.
