This weekend, probably on Sunday, we plan to swap out the mainboard, RAM and casing of the server that runs the supplementary services (XMPP, Movim and Wiki). This is done to save some space in the server shelf and free the bigger case for another server. The new mainboard and RAM is also a bit faster, but I don’t expect that to make a noticable difference.

The main SLRPNK Lemmy instance and our Etherpad which runs on another server will be unaffected. At least if I don’t accidentally trip over a power cord or so 😅

I expect the down-time to be around 2 hours as all the components and backup drives will have to be reinstalled in the new smaller casing.

Edit: this will be postponed to the coming week or the weekend after as the preparation work takes a bit longer than expected

    We will probably also update to Lemmy 0.19.7 the same time as it is only a minor bug-fix release. Edit: Done.

    After a long delay, this will probably happen on Sunday the 8th of December now.

      Works are ongoing. Server rebuild is complete hardware wise, but it needs some reconfiguration on the software side. So far it looks good though.

        Supplementary services are mostly back, just need to fix some issues with Movim still. Edit: seems to be done
