New staging witness: witness.navigli.sunlight.geomys.org
by Filippo Valsorda 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

Hello folks, I am happy to introduce the witness.navigli.sunlight.geomys.org staging witness. It replaces the experimental navigli.sunlight.geomys.org/dev testing witness. It is operated by Geomys, and it configures all the staging and testing lists. The about page is https://geomys.org/witness/navigli. Cheers, Filippo P.S. In order to have something meaningful to point uptime monitoring at, I built a little service that submits a checkpoint to a witness and returns 200 OK only if the returned signature is fresh and valid. You are welcome to use it to monitor your own witnesses. https://ct-uptime-alerts.fly.dev/witness/

Good question -- the test list is intentionally a bit YOLO so I'd say it's ok that you stop configuring it and instead switch to staging later.

Request to add witness witness.stagemole.eu
by Gregoire Detrez 04 Nov '25

Hello again! We would also like to add our staging witness to the witness network: - operator name: Mullvad VPN AB - vkey: witness.stagemole.eu +ac5cc086+BEqSG3yu9YrmcM3BHvQYTxwFj3uSWakQepafafpUqklv - log list: testing and/or staging (?) - about page: https://witness.stagemole.eu/about I don't really understand the part about a performance profile: is there a list of options I can pick from? Does this determine what logs I get from the witness network? Cheers, Grégoire

Requests to add log serviceberry.tlog.stagemole.eu
by Gregoire Detrez 03 Nov '25

Hello, We'd like to participate to the Witness Network by adding our staging Sigsum log: - origin-line: sigsum.org/v1/tree/1643169b32bef33a3f54f8a353b87c475d19b6223cbb106390d10a29… - vkey: sigsum.org/v1/tree/1643169b32bef33a3f54f8a353b87c475d19b6223cbb106390d10a29… - add-checkpoint rate: every 10s - contact: services(a)mullvad.net, https://serviceberry.tlog.stagemole.eu/about I'm not sure what list is appropriate at this point. Going by the descriptions on the witness-network website, our intention is to run this more as a staging log (long-term but experimental), but I think the test list would work as well. (There doesn't seem to be any witness in the staging table so maybe it's too soon to add logs to the staging list?) Cheers, Grégoire
