The core code is here: https://bitbucket.org/xnyhps/xmppoke It's not trivial to build (but obviously not impossible). To be able to test SSLv2 for example, you need an OpenSSL that has SSLv2 support, which is not an easy find nowadays. This means you can't just grab OpenSSL from packages. I think the website code is at https://bitbucket.org/xnyhps/xmppoke-frontend - but I'm not 100% sure. The XSF would happily continue to host it, but to avoid a repeat of events, I think that would only happen if the environment is rebuildable in an automated way, preferably Docker (as that's what we've standardized on for the other services). As well as easing recovery in cases like this, it also helps with future server migrations, and makes things easier for new volunteers to find their way around when services are self-contained and documented. Right now there is nobody (that I'm aware of) working on this, given limited time and other priorities. However if someone wants to work on producing a Docker build for example, this would be great for not just the XSF/xmpp.net but anyone who wants to run their own instance too. Regards, Matthew
