If there are any Europeans here, I'd love to make my vulnerability database that's accumulated from all linux security trackers and the CVE/NVD open source if I can manage to find some folks who'd help with maintenance.

Currently hosting costs are unclear, but it should be doable if we offer API access for like 5 bucks / month for private and 100 / month for corporate or similar.

Already did a backup of the NVD in the last couple hours, currently backing up the security trackers and OVAL feeds.

Gonna need some sleep now, it's morning again.

My project criteria:

- hosting within the EU

- must have a copyleft license (AGPL)

- must have open source backend and frontend

- dataset size is around 90-148 GB (compressed vs uncompressed)

- ideally an e.V. for managing funds and costs, so it can survive me

- already built my vulnerability scraper in Go, would contribute it under AGPL

- already built all schema parsers, would contribute them also under AGPL

- backend and frontend needs to be built

- would make it prerendered, so that cves can be static HTML files that can be hosted on a CDN

- needs submission/PoC/advisory web forms and database/workflow for it

- data is accumulated into a JSON format (sources are mixed non standard formats for each security tracker. Enterprise distros use odata or oval for the most parts)
