Title: any test servers for developer access?
Post by: pocock on September 30, 2020, 02:27:56 pm

I've been discussing a rendering bug (https://developer.blender.org/T80912) with the Blender developers

I suspect the most efficient way for them to investigate would be having their own hardware but if that is not possible, remote access to a demo workstation at Raptor or any other user who has a spare Talos II or Blackbird right now.

Is there anybody who can help out in cases like this?

The vast majority of things I tried are working fine though.  This Blender bug is one of the few cases where something did not work.

I can't offer access, but what about:

Unicamp Minicloud (https://openpower.ic.unicamp.br/minicloud/)
OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org/services/powerdev/)
Raptor Data Solutions::IntegriCloud (https://www.integricloud.com/)

Is this an option, maybe?

Are any of those sites able to provide a graphical desktop (e.g. VNC) or they only provide shell access?

Raptor themselves has sometimes been willing to help out for larger packages.

IIRC, Raptor gave the OpenBSD-Team any sort of access.

This I don't know. But I hardly guess, Raptor could offer that.
