Forum Software Update & Patching

[SpookDog]

The World is broken bud. We’re all just playing catch-up! …

@SpookDog Hhhmm, yeah tell me about it. I ordered a new server, a rack mounting and new hard disks back in September and I have seen little of any of those items! Meanwhile this is potentially limping along.

Well the new server housing has finally arrived Still no sign of the server or hard disks.

Forum patched and server upgraded. Still haven't resolved this ongoing database issue. Hoping it'll resolve itself when we migrate to the new hardware.

Great stuff! New server has arrived and is all mounted into the housing etc. Big shout out to @Arite for generously donating/purchasing a brand new hard disk for the forum to live on.

Over the Christmas period I will look to setup the new forum and hopefully get it deployed over to the new hardware. Expect the forum to be offline over the next coming weeks as I will need to unplug it all and disconnect it from the Internet and reconfigure the switch etc.

With all going well, we should be on new tin for 2024

Slowly getting there. Data has been migrated over and the forum is alive and kicking on our new tin

They'll inevitably be teething issues when we do move and I'll need to do another backup-restore before we go live but the tin is booting and working. Impressions seem to be it's a lot faster than the old box

New server is installed and configured=)

Forum patched and updated. Fixed some database corruption issues which was having a knock-on effect with emojis so hopefully they're working now.
