I’m looking for fully automated system setup. I want to be able to create/destroy servers with zero work on my part and have them provisioned as soon as they are available. ---

Okay – so merge radiology and toolkit server together; this can mostly be done via CI…instead of `radiology.librehealth.io`, use `toolkit.librehealth.io` and we’re good. PACS server can stay as it is for now. No changes will be made yet – I’ll skim this thread when the time comes and take notes. ---

@r0bby Would it be helpful to start an etherpad list of the desired list of hardware/hosts that would be needed at the new provider? That’d make it easy to check pricing against the full “current demand”… ---

That’s not bad. We’re currently okay with Rackspace, they apparently are letting us stay put, but I feel REALLY uncomfortable staying. ---

We have discussed it many times, but so far no conclusions and no votes to move forward. If LibreHealth can’t do it as a community project I will. $150/m per database. Semester length contracts. ---

That should be about $600/semester which is fair but I am concerned that this may be about the same as the commercial sites. I still wonder about a partner who would cover the hosting fees. The downside would be that we don’t want to give up control. ---

I thought I would run the $600/semester by my instructor friend at LSSC and here is her response: Hmm. Is the $150/month per site regardless of number of users? AHIMA sells a direct student access code that I think is about $85 per Student and good for 6 mos. Their lab comes with EHR, two common encode/groupers, statistical package, inpatient and outpatient de-identified medical records, EMPI clean-up software, release of info software, and other features. The site license, though for up to 44 users was about 1200.00 per year. ---

I can’t see us charging per user…just a simple flat per month. I don’t wanna nickel and dime them. [Previous page](https://forums.librehealth.io/t/hosting-providers-post-rackspace/1076.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.librehealth.io/t/hosting-providers-post-rackspace/1076.md?page=3)
