Sorry for slow response.

The things we need to run on the server are:
django 1.15 (plus some plugins like registration, graphics - sam do you have the module names?)
apache 2.4
mysql (or postgres)
mercurial and/or git server (preferably gitlab)
rsync
bins (photo cataloger)
survex
preferably: openlayers, 

ports needed are:
22:ssh
80:http
preferably also:
437:https
9418:git (maybe - ssh probably fine instead - does gitlab care?)
It'd be nice if UDP for mosh worked too.

Space: 80GB. About 60GB of that is 'just files ('expofiles')', 20GB 
for the repositories and core web stuff.

Traffic: extremely low 90% of the time. Busier for ~one month in the
summer: total bandwidth some tens of GB.

I think that's it although without the server to check configs on I may
have forgotten something.

One issue is that if the services end up behind raven then it's no use
at all. And we need admin access for non-university people like me. 

I have had an offer of a place to host the server so long as it's a
container not a VM (so it doesn't take resource when not being
used). Essentially infinite storage and bandwidth (it's a mirror
machine: free.hands.com), but possibly slow response times. I suggest
we try it and see.
