Filesystem Server Migrations
Posted: Fri May 25, 2018 7:13 pm
Hi everyone
As you'll be aware, we're currently in the middle of the process of migrating Pegasus Fleet sites over to new infrastructure. The databases were migrated earlier in the year, and now it's time for the filesystems. A couple of our newer sims have been operating out of the new servers for a little while now, and the process for adding new sites has been ironed out, so it's time to start moving existing sites over.
I'll be in touch with COs hosted with us to arrange the best times for this, but this thread will keep track of the dates for each migration, as well as when each has been completed. Bear in mind that whenever a migration is in progress, COs should not attempt to upload new files via FTP or the site's built-in uploader tool, as they may not be carried over to the new server. There may also be a slight delay in your ISP recognising the new server as the home for your sim, so you may not see changes made on the new server reflected for up to 24 hours after the move (though if your ISP respects the TTL set on the DNS entries, it should only be 15 minutes).
I'll make an announcement on Discord at the times that the main fleet sites are migrated as well as posting updates here. For some sites (such as the forums and wiki), I'll likely also use the move as an opportunity to upgrade the sites to the latest version of their respective software, so expect a short outage for each.
