We've had problems with the set blueprint archive site for some time now. I've not been able to upload anything until I could fix these problems.
- Site would lock up for 1/2 hour or more with each individual image upload
- Bulk uploads no longer possible
- Missing images
- Missing metadata
- Folders randomly going private
- Generated Zip folder downloads failing
All but the zip issue are probably due to the database and Lychee system – it may no longer be able to handle the sheer size of the archive.
The zip downloads of each folder were failing because although the server has plenty of space, it cannot permit individual files greater than 500MB. This is probably a safeguard against file sharing piracy. The generated zips downloads had begun to exceed this limit due to how extensive the archive has become.
As I haven't been able to upload to the site, there is quite a backlog of uploads.
Over these past months I have been working on the replacement site for Set Blueprint Archive. To solve the issues of another database potentially failing, I have used a static site generator – no database required. The program reads through all my image files and folders, and builds a pure html css site. Afterwards it uploads only the new / changed pages and images to the webspace.
Advantages:
- Subfolders are now possible – easier sorting
- Runs faster
- More stable
- Upload issues are gone
- Works better on mobile / tablet
- Can host PDFs of my reverse engineered blueprints
Disadvantages:
- RSS feeds no longer available
- Old links to individual images or folders will no longer work
We also lose the zip downloads of the folders, but due to their size this was not an option for any solution.
So here is the new site up and running:
http://archive.frogland.co.uk/
With the addition of subfolders, we can sort the references into separate sections - so now we have Set Blueprints, CGI models, LCARS, Concept Art, Panoramas, Reverse Engineered Blueprints (Galaxy, Runabout, Voyager Project), and Physical Models.
Physical models is a new section to provide reference of the various ships and other miniatures that were used until Enterprise. Although this does expand the scope of the archive, I feel it fits.
Here are the new image uploads:

The archive now sits at almost 8Gb and 11007 images.
I haven't managed to clear all of the backlog yet, so more updates are coming soonish.
Makes sense, though.
