<p>Synth.Download is a project started in October of 2024 by <a href="https://sneexy.synth.download">Sneexy</a>, buying the domain <code>synth.download</code> as it was available, and as I am a Synth. Initially, the domain was used to only used to serve a <small>much, <i>much</i></small> older iteration of this site that was used to only provide information about myself, and ran about a handful of services only for personal usage.</p>
|
|
<p>The very first server used to host services here was a Netcup VPS, and the very first service made available on this domain that wouldn't see the "personal usage" treatment is our very own <a href="https://beeping.synth.download">Iceshrimp.NET</a> instance.</p>
|
|
<p>Later on, as time progressed, I started running more services that I figured would be more useful, the next thing run after Iceshrimp would be our own <a href="https://beeping.synth.download">Sharkey</a> instance <small>(I <i>swear</i> we don't only just run Fediverse instances here, Iceshrimp.NET was just <i>too</i> beta for our tastes)</small>, which as far as I can tell is probably our most popular service as of now.</p>
|
|
<p>Synth.Download has went through many server migrations between different Netcup VPS'es <small>before <i>finally</i> getting off them</small> along with various site and services improvements, and overall has started to shape into what I am proud to call as a proper community rather than being a silly site on the indie web (although, deep down, we all know it's still that).</p>
|
|
<p>Thank you all for being here, both users and administrators. It means a lot to me. 💚</p>

<h2 id="servers"><a href="#servers">Servers</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The servers that are responsible for housing Synth.Download are proudly hosted and provided by <a href="https://foxgirl.dev">Lua</a>, and are located in Canada. All services on Synth.Download are containerized within Docker containers.</p>
|
|
<p>Services are split between two KVM's on two different servers, namely <code>phosphorus</code>, which has more breathing room and handles running our more advanced and heavier services, such as our Fediverse instances, and <code>neptunium</code>, which handles all web traffic and our more lighter services, such as this site you're looking at right now.</p>
|
|
<p>Backups are taken nightly and stored off-site.</p>
|
|
<p>For those curious about our server configurations and setups, we publicly provide them <a href="https://forged.synth.download/sd/synth.download">at our Git repository</a>.</p>

<p>Synth.Download is overlooked by <a href="/admins">several administrators</a>, although <a href="https://sneexy.synth.download">Sneexy</a> is the one who mainly manages everything. Shoot an email to <span link-color>synth@synth.download</span> for reports or general contact</p>
