I think it's time to pull the plug, make ask.openstack.org read-only (so that links to old answers are not lost) and redirect users to the mailing-list and the "OpenStack" tag on StackOverflow. I picked StackOverflow since it seems to have the most openstack questions (2,574 on SO, 76 on SuperUser and 430 on ServerFault).
I agree that this is the most pragmatic approach.
Thoughts, comments?
*If* we were to restore it now, it looks like 0.11 branch comes with an upstream Dockerfile [1]; there's lots of examples now in system-config of similar container-based production sites and this could fit in. This makes it significantly easier than trying to build up everything it requires from scratch, and if upstream keep their container compatible (a big if...) theoretically less work to keep updated. But despite the self-hosting story being better in 2020, I agree the ROI isn't there. -i [1] https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/blob/0.11.x/Dockerfile
