Richard Swindells Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have managed to get the old flyquiet forum running on a raspberry Pi, so now have a 100% free solution to the hosting. For those of you who wish to view the archive, it is at the same url as before (I would be interested to hear if the speed of the site is usable.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As its an archive, and of interest to our members I can host it on decent servers for free Richard. Drop me a PM if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Swindells Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Probably just the DNS has not propagated yet.. should resolve to 212.56.102.221 Thanks for the hosting offer, I will keep it running at home for the moment as I am trying out the Pi for a few bits and bobs, now they are starting to upgrade the hardware. edit........... ahh firewall config..should be ok by the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirrusRC Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 thanks for getting FQ back online Richard. A little sluggish but impressive none the less for an RP and self hosting. My RP2 is mainly used for Kodi and RetroPie I notice your internal LAN IP and web port is visible from some URLs. thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterT Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 It worked for me too. Thanks Richard, as there are a wealth of F3K questions and answers available again. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Swindells Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 There were a couple of bad links causing the 20 second delays, which are now fixed. Should be nice & zippy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the first time I have used nginx for the webserver so a little learning process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikef Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 FlyQuiet's back! Thanks Richard - best Easter Present I've seen. I just looked something up - the site seems faster than before to me - and search works fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cirrusRC Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 agreed - super zippy now. IP's no longer visible either. Off to have a play with nginx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirrusRC Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Richard. I notice your test thread for posting pictures....etc. If Flyquiet is going to be an archive going forward, would it not be better to redirect the login page ( no HTTPS anyway) and prevent new posts and replies? not sure what your intention is.

Guest Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Richard, Thanks for reincarnating(?) FQ, a very welcome surprise. Site is whizzy quick even on my 15 year old aged Dell. Regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was never any intention for flyquiet to go offline, but it was always hoped that it would remain accessible as an archive, however at the time that the hosting contract expired I was not in a position to spend the time transferring to a new host. There have been a huge number of requests to get it back as an archive, lots from people I never even realized followed the site so closely and it was taking more of my time to respond to these emails than it would to take a day out to get the site back up and running. In addition many members (including me) had lost contact details of fellow pilots that we had from private conversations on the messaging system (which is why I need to keep the login to the site active.) There was some use of private boards by various groups to co-ordinate their activities (for example the UK World Champs team use a private board to make our travel arrangements... and commercial teams have used it from time to time to communicate during the testing cycle, for example the flitzbogen team used fly-quiet during the original prototype development ) The ability to post documents and attachments are needed by these private boards which is why I needed to post a test picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyHickson Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Nice to see FQ back as an archive. Performance wise, if anything I'd say it's faster than it was previously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon P Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 This has made me very happy. I was an avid reader of old flyquiet threads particularly those about model building which, for me, is still a major source of enjoyment in this hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
