- admin: niles, tmonteil
- local tech contact: David Alden, Josh Carroll

- there are two machines : ask-sagemath and ask-sagemath-db
- Migration discussion (2024-06): https://groups.google.com/g/sage-devel/c/9uX5j4x1Nsg, https://ask.sagemath.org/question/78069/migrating-asksagemathorg-to-discourse/
backup
- purpose: keep the data of various services in a separate place
- hosted at: Mathematics lab, Université Paris Sud (Orsay)
- technology used: debian, rsync, cron
- resources needed: 1TB disk
- admin: tmonteil, slelievre
- local sage dev: slelievre
- local tech contact: Mathilde Rousseau
- currently keeping a daily backup of :
doc.sagemath.org, planet.sagemath.org, www.sagemath.org
- purpose: on-line browsable documentation + web homepage
- hosted at: github.io (sagemath/documentation, sagemath/planet, sagemath/sagemath.github.io)
- technology used: proprietary
- resources needed: 0 CPU, 0 RAM, 0 DISK
- admin: everyone who is on the github group for sagemath
- contact: schilly for the website
build.sagemath.org
- purpose: distribute and gathers automatic binary building on volunteer's machines
- hosted at: University of Washington
- technology used: ubuntu, nginx; using using the continuous integration framework of http://buildbot.net/
- resources needed: ?CPU ?RAM ?DISK

rsync.sagemath.org
- purpose: the seed for mirrors, see MirrorNetwork for more details
- hosted at: University of Washington
- technology used: rsync
- resources needed:
- CPU 1 core
- RAM 2-3 GB (mostly for caching when calculating hashes)
- DISK enough for all sage files (50+ GB)
- admin: schilly
- contact: schilly
sagecell.sagemath.org, aleph.sagemath.org
- purpose: allow embedding sage computations within a webpage
- hosted at:
- Google Compute Engine (Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA)
- technology used: production installation requires a dedicated server (either physical or virtual)
- resources needed:
- RAM: 32GB recommended for smooth operation
- CPU: the more the better for handling spikes in load and allowing parallel interacts, but any will do if necessary
- DISK: must have BTRFS at least for /var/lib/lxc, SSD is preferable, 150GB or more
