Re: [Migration in prod.] The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue reports

Apparently not safe enough, since I only got started on this today, with an hour left on the downtime clock. An hour and three quarters later, I believe things are up and running like they should. Migration itself was fairly routine, being mostly the same steps as last time, and I've run rudimentary...

Re: [Downtime scheduled for 2024-03-23 & --03-24, 18:00-21:00 UTC] The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue report

Blocking out two three-hour segments this weekend (2024-03-23 and 2024-03-24, both 18:00-21:00 UTC) for migration take 2, to be on the safe side.

Re: [Migration postponed] The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue reports

Hey, you know what? The old hosting setup lasted for four years, it can last another two weeks. I'm reasonably confident that the new hosting setup is stable, now that the limited-RAM issue has been identified and (provisionally) addressed, but I was probably going to roll the forum back to its fres...

Re: [Downtime scheduled for 2024-03-09 18:00-20:00 UTC] The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue reports

Update on that. Email and the like is done and tested, so now comes the process of migration. The domain names ( https://www.pastelland.net , https://www.pastelland.com ) still refer to the old server at the time of writing. In the coming days I'll point them at the new server, a tiny but sufficient...

Re: The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue reports

Some news on that. I've got new hosting mostly set up, I just need to test everything and figure out email, so people will still be able to sign up. Speaking of email, it turns out that, since I first set up our current hosting solution, the screws have tightened further on self-hosted email. Gmail ...

Re: The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue reports

Seems we had a spambot wave over the past few days. Always fun to have to do something urgently for once. Most accounts and their posts should be pruned, and I've rotated the registration questions. I should probably also look into another version update and moving to more stable hosting, but no new...

Re: The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue reports

Search should be properly operational again. This one's a bit embarrassing. I appear to have at some point misunderstood how building the search index worked, thinking it could run in the background when, as it turns out, you have to keep the browser window open. (Which I guess makes sense, since it...

Re: The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue reports

I suspected as much, since the favicon also wasn't found in the backup I took of the forum before upgrading yesterday. I dug it out of an older backup, presumably I forgot to move it over when I did a previous upgrade. (The standard process involves deleting - or in my case, moving to the side - all...

Re: The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue reports [downtime 2021-12-25 from 19:30 to 21:30 UTC]

Forum reopened as of 20:46 UTC. Board has been upgraded to phpBB 3.3.5, search index is being rebuilt. I still haven't investigated the continuing search issue thouroughly, so please let me know if it persists. Also the favicon seems to be gone, I should look into how that happened.

Re: The third administration: Welcome, dev & issue reports [unscheduled downtime 2021-11-21]

We had unscheduled downtime on 2021-11-21, for a few hours ending at around 12:00 UTC, and possibly more unscheduled downtime the day before. The issue was purely a networking one, the server itself is unaffected. Apologies for any inconvenience.
