If you’re reading this, it’s proof that the site has been migrated to the new server!!! What does this mean for you? Absolutely nothing!!! Well, I guess if you have a couple of thousands of friends and they all hit this site at once you would have noticed a slowdown before but not now. Go ahead, give it a shot!

All kidding aside it really wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be. I just was interested in the default sites meaning this blog, the tech blog and the photo site. I moved over the physical directories, then the databases, then the DB users and then I installed the certificate, there was the first issue. That was I needed a virtual server on port 80 for the new Lets Encrypt Python PIP. After that I needed to install the PHP mysqli, do a DNF search for PHP and install the mysql* one. Lastly the photo site had an issue and it was SE so I went in through cockpit to allow for that. Still need to move the next cloud data over but that’s next.

Super excited to be on the new hardware and looking forward to the learning ahead!
