Emulatorman tell me in the chan that Parabola will import some stuf from
Manjaro and Artegos and by the way we could also import free stuff from
BlackArch and ArchStricke.

The point on that lasts is that they need to be filtered from non-free
and grey list with FossOlogy (view) information in the ML on that point.

To create that filter FossOlogy need a docker tool. So it could be fine
to get a bit of space for that too.

From my point of view:

Server 0 the old one should get for the website, wiki, design ... , it
works fine and rarely goes down compared with other website.

Server 1 the new one should be user for all the packages and the filter
FossOlogy, the ISO and a VPN for communications between the server 0 &
1.

Then at the time we know exaclty the level of consumption of all server
by server, we could get time to think to offer new services, like mail
(as secured as possible), why not mediagoblin or anything else.

Server 0 or 1 could be change as you wish in what I suggest. All is
about harmony between services and hardware capacities and all of them
together.

About the point of using the servers as using machine, a third server
with 24GB of ram on 1TB of SSD would be needed 8-p
