Dear Project Owner,

I just wanted to let you know that I am working on this concept at present and will submit my design soon. Please expect the same.

Thank you.

Kind Regards
Ananya

I uploaded a new PDF into the project briefs. It may help explain more on what I want to accomplish.
This project consists of:
-Editing of 'website' code generated from two separate applications, so that "data" is loaded/served from a different location. IE Amazon S3.
-Maintaining HTTPS and Password Protection
-Making a script that would apply the 'new code' to existing projects.

The designer should have knowledge on serving files from Amazon S3 or similar.

Hi,

What i understand is that you are looking to transfer you site from Potree and Panotour Pro to HTML and Wordpress. Please correct me if i am wrong.

And then you want this site hosted in Amazon.

I believe that the solution my project is not that complicated. Let me run it down again.
Each Panotour project contains ~5000 to ~10000 image files. My current web server where I host them is near the file quota. Amazon S3 can host the Panotour projects as a static website, but I need https and password protection, and this method is public only.
So this is where my minimal knowledge on 'web programming' ends and this project on DesignCrowd began.

-I would like to keep using current web server to host the html/xml/js and core files of a project, while loading the images from a 'cloud storage' location.
-Potree would be something similar, but with large 'point cloud' data sets being loaded from a cloud storage location.
-Clients access Panotour and Potree through direct links to each project.
-Need to maintain past project links and use https and password protection.
-I have seen documentation on these applications on how to achieve what I am proposing.
-Once the solution is found, I would just require two scripts. One that I can use before/after I upload a project, and one that would apply our solution to all of the past projects.
-The 'cloud storage' does not have to be Amazon S3, it's just one that I have played a little bit with. But it needs to be secure and located near Western Canada.

Cheers,
Travis

Hi Travis,

My sincere apology, I believe I will not be able to adhere the functionality part of the project, so please ignore my previous message and consider me out of the contest.

Thank you.

Kind regards

We are interested in working on this. Is there a better way to collaborate with you on this?

Hello, PO,
I'm interested in this project too. Please, don't close before the deadline.

Hi Travis,
We have checked your requirements and are pretty clear, you do have an idea on the solution to the problem and are looking for help from us in implementation. We believe you are running out of space on your servers with media user/system generated file which you would like to off load from your system and delegate this to any cloud service provider and AWS is one of them.

There are other benefits for you, if you go that route: (AWS S3 bucket make sense to us so agreed with your suggestion)

-Scalability on demand
-Your current servers then will have enough resources to serve pages.
-CDN network will improve performance of your site (just need to enable cloud front aws service)
-Industry leading security
-Disaster recovery facility
-Could build data archiving strategy
-High availabilty


We can help you in this activity, we need to review your two sites so that we can evaluate efforts more precisely; but in a crux we need to perform following activities:

- Setup AWS account (as you mentioned is already setup)
- Setup S3 bucket in nearest region
- Integrate S3 bucket in 2 of your websites - (so all new images directly go to s3 bucket on upload)
- Refactor code - so directly read images from S3 bucket
- Need to build migration script to move all historical data to new location and media images references needs to be updated in database and code files.
- Testing


However we have few questions for you:

*What is the technology stack of two sites Panotour and Potree (programing language, database etc)
*Do you have documentations of these projects? if yes please, share with us.
*Any constraints in your mind which you would like share? please do them now.

The cost for this activity should be $1000.00 and we estimate this to be a total engagement of about 40-45 business days with the following team composition:

Software Engineer: 1
QC Engineer: 1
Server Admininstrator: 1

Please let us know if our understanding is correct, response to the queries raised and if you have any further questions. We look forward to your response and possibly working with you on this soon once we establish understanding and commercials.
