MS SQL EXPERT NEEDED (USA BASED ONLY)

As an expert, you must be residing in the USA, be able to provide a W9 tax form as a consultant, and sign an NDA. The project involves analyzing a complex MS SQL database with over 1500 tables in order to dump and convert the raw data tables into MySQL. The backup is nearly 15GB of data. The schema is based on Enspire ERP and requires the ability to identify which tables are joined in order to output relevant archive data. You will work together to provide samples of what data fields are identified and narrow down only those which are required. Many system fields are likely and not needed, so it will be a process of working together to adequately arrive at a curated MySQL database. Migration of resulting data will be part of the process onto a Linux cloud server with MySQL installed. Project will be awarded based on best overall estimated total hours to complete.

Developer to test & harden a local-first automation CLI (paid)

We're looking for a developer (ideally a few) to help test and improve RailCall, a local-first, developer-grade automation tool. This is real paid work, broken into small fixed-price tasks. Start with one; if it's a good fit, there's a steady stream of more. About the tool (so you can scope your proposal accurately): RailCall runs on your own machine. You describe an automation in plain English and it builds a real, governed workflow that runs locally - not in a vendor cloud. Nothing executes until you approve it (dry-run by default), and every run is sealed with a signed receipt you can verify offline. Keys, data and logs stay on your machine. There's a free tier (500 flows/month, no card) so you can install and start straight away. - Site: https://railcall.ai - Docs: https://railcall.ai/docs.html - Install (macOS/Linux): curl -fsSL https://railcall.ai/install.sh | bash - then run: railcall studio The tasks we're paying for (fixed price, per accepted deliverable): 1. A reproducible bug report or actionable feedback - approx £8 each. Accepted when we can reproduce the issue from your write-up (clear steps, expected vs actual, environment) or directly act on the feedback. 2. A shipped fix, or a genuinely useful workflow you've built - approx £20 each. Accepted when the fix is verified working, or the workflow runs and you supply its signed receipt (via "railcall verify"). 3. A standout build, a written how-to guide, or a short demo video - approx £40 each. Accepted when it's clear, accurate, and something we'd be happy to share with other developers. Every milestone is agreed, awarded and paid through PeoplePerHour. These are paid tasks - not spec work, not a free contest. What we're after: - Comfortable on the command line, with git, and installing a CLI on macOS or Linux - Can write a clear, reproducible report (steps, expected vs actual, environment) - Bonus: experience with MCP, agent tooling, or workflow automation How to propose: Send a proposal here on PeoplePerHour. Tell us which task you'd like to start with, a rough delivery timeline, and anything relevant you've built before. We agree the milestone, award it, and release payment on delivery through PPH. Reliable contributors will be first in line for more of the same work - this is ongoing, and the longer-term arrangement is still taking shape, so no promises beyond the paid tasks named above.

Dedicated Linux Server Health Check, Upgrade Advice & Migration

Project Overview: I am looking for an experienced Linux server specialist to review the health and setup of our current dedicated server with Fasthosts and advise whether we should proceed with an upgrade and migration. We currently run 3 live websites on a dedicated Ubuntu 20.04 server via Plesk. The server has 32GB RAM. A recent backup failure flagged a RAM issue where the system removed the snapshot during the backup process. No further alerts have come through since, but it has raised concerns about overall capacity and stability. Fasthosts have recommended either optimisation or upgrading. Proposed Upgrade (from Fasthosts): • Server: E3-1270-64-HDD • RAM: 64GB • OS option: Ubuntu 24.04 with Plesk What I Need From You: Phase 1 – Server Health Check & Review • Review current server setup (Ubuntu 20.04, Plesk Obsidian) • Check RAM usage, CPU, disk, services, and general performance • Review backup configuration and failure cause • Identify any inefficiencies or risks • Confirm whether upgrade is genuinely required or if optimisation would suffice Phase 2 – Upgrade Recommendation • Provide a clear recommendation: Stay and optimise OR Upgrade and migrate • If upgrading, confirm whether the proposed Fasthosts server is suitable Important Constraint: We must remain on PHP 8.2.30. No PHP upgrades to be carried out as part of this work due to compatibility with existing code. Phase 3 – Migration (if approved) • Full migration of 3 websites to new server • Maintain Plesk structure and configurations • Ensure: Minimal downtime All services tested post-migration Backups working correctly Key Requirements: • Strong experience with: Linux (Ubuntu) Plesk Fasthosts / similar environments Server migrations Backup systems (Acronis or similar) • Must work carefully with live production sites • Clear communication and sensible approach Pricing: I require a fixed price for: 1. Health check and recommendation 2. Migration if needed Additional Notes: • Current issue appears linked to RAM during backups, but system otherwise looks stable • Storage is nearing capacity on backup system

Deploy Python AI Automation System on Linux Server

Deploy Python AI Automation System on Linux Server (Social + Multilingual Sub‑sites) Duration 3–4 working days Skills needed Python, Linux/Ubuntu, Nginx, MySQL, REST APIs, Social Media APIs (Meta Graph, X, Pinterest), S3‑compatible storage About the project We run Librifly.com, a platform selling downloadable art, images, stories, poetry and maps, also available as posters, notebooks and books. We already have a complete AI automation system built: all Python code is written, tested and documented. This is not a coding project. You will deploy and configure the existing code on our Linux server and verify that the full system works end‑to‑end. Think of it as a technical installation and setup job: server environment, Nginx, database migrations, social media API configuration and final testing. What the system does • Discovers content niches from Librifly.com (e.g. Monet, Vintage France travel, New York art). • Generates complete sub‑sites for each niche using AI (e.g. monet.librifly.com). • Populates each sub‑site with real products and pricing from Librifly.com. • Publishes each sub‑site in 9 languages, one new language per day. • Automatically posts to Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter) and Pinterest when each site goes live. Server environment • Hetzner Cloud server (Finland), Ubuntu + Nginx. • MySQL database already running. • Static IP and domain configured. • Python 3.12 and Redis to be installed (apt install). Scope of work Step 1 — Server setup • Install Python 3.12 and Redis, create a virtualenv. • Install Python packages from requirements.txt. • Configure .env with our API keys. • Run 4 SQL migration files. • Set up Nginx wildcard subdomain (*.librifly.com). • Obtain wildcard SSL via Let’s Encrypt certbot. • Configure two systemd services (Celery worker and scheduler) to start on boot. Step 2 — Pipeline test • Run the pipeline manually and verify a sub‑site is generated. • Check HTML renders correctly in a browser. • Verify Nginx serves it on the correct subdomain. • Adjust scraper selectors if needed by inspecting Librifly.com. Step 3 — Social media setup • Create a Meta developer app (Instagram + Facebook). • Configure long‑lived access tokens for posting. • Set up X (Twitter) and Pinterest developer apps. • Configure a Hetzner Object Storage bucket (S3‑compatible). • Send at least one successful test post on each of the four platforms. Step 4 — Multilingual test • Run migration for language tables. • Build and test a Spanish version of one sub‑site. • Confirm hreflang SEO tags in HTML. • Check CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) pages load with correct fonts. Required skills • Python 3 (read/debug existing code). • Linux Ubuntu server admin. • Nginx (vhosts, wildcard subdomains). • SSL with Let’s Encrypt / Certbot. • MySQL (running SQL files, basic admin). • Social media APIs, especially Meta Graph API. • REST API basics (X and Pinterest). • S3‑compatible storage (e.g. Hetzner Object Storage). What we provide • Full source code (4 documented zip files). • README files with step‑by‑step instructions. • SSH access to our server (securely shared). • All required API keys. Deliverables 1. At least one sub‑site live at a .librifly.com subdomain. 2. Celery worker and scheduler running as system services and surviving restarts. 3. One successful test post on Instagram, Facebook, X and Pinterest. 4. Brief handover note covering token expiry dates and how to run the pipeline manually. Meta setup note Meta (Instagram/Facebook) app setup is the most time‑consuming part because the portal is slow and the flow is non‑obvious. Please only apply if you have previously set up a Meta Graph API app; if not, say so clearly in your proposal. How to apply Please include: 1. Whether you have set up a Meta Graph API app before (Instagram/Facebook posting). 2. Whether you have configured Nginx wildcard subdomains and Let’s Encrypt wildcard SSL. 3. When you can start and hours per day you can commit this week. 4. Your fixed‑price quote for the full project.
