Moving forum.friendi.ca to an new server


Hello,

today is the day! I'll move forum.friendi.ca to a new machine. The groups @Friendica Support @Friendica Developers @Friendica Admins and the news channel news@forum.friendi.ca won't be available for several hours.

I'll switch them in maintenance mode before I start the backup and data move.

DE: Hallo,

heute ist es soweit! Ich werde forum.friendi.ca auf eine neue Maschine umziehen. Die Gruppen @helpers@forum.friendi.ca, @developers@forum.friendi.ca, @admins@forum.friendi.ca und der Nachrichtenkanal news@forum.friendi.ca werden fΓΌr einige Stunden nicht erreichbar sein.

Ich werde sie in den Wartungsmodus schalten, bevor ich mit dem Backup und dem Umzug der Daten beginne.

New server will be located in Falkenstein, Germany. And yes, that's Hetzner. :-)

Here we are again. I hate Redis. Why is it refusing connections to the Unix Socket w/o complaining about it in the log. :-) Changed the Friendica config to use the IP/port values instead. Finally. :-) Maintenance mode will be disabled in 3 minutes.

The old server has been shut down by the hosting provider just now.

The XMPP server isn't running yet on the new machine. I'll do that in the next days.

XMPP is installed and running. But DNS still needs to pick up the new IPs.

Until the issue is resolved, I have started to relay to a new MUC. Feel free to join: xmpp:friendica@conference.movim.eu?join
