Here we go again… Server migration, take 2

[TxFrog1999]

Just an FYI but over the next two days we're finally (hopefully?) migrating the site to a new home. I've already begun the process of rerouting our DNS through cloudflare, so in the next 12 hours if you have ANY problems reaching the site, please email me at sean at the name of this site.

If you're reading this, Step 1 is complete.

Just don't take a #2 on step #2...

Just don't take a #2 on step #2...

Step 2 is now complete. Email service is now being handled by our new 3rd-party provider.

Step four may be the roughest:
Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves

Steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 are now complete which include boring backend work, server provisioning, CDN distribution creation, and more DNS changes. Next I'll be upload and pointing all of the podcast files to the new CDN distribution and regenerating the feed XML before starting the transfer of site files and the database migrations. Once I get to that last step I'll take the forum offline.

How many billions did you save?

None. Elon gets all that credit

Steps 7 and 8 are now complete. The podcast and media files are now uploaded to the new CDN and redirected for podcast listeners. If anyone has any issues getting episodes to play in Amazon, Apple, Google, or Spotify Podcasts please let me know. I've also migrated the main Wordpress site.

The next step is to switch the DNS to point the main site to the new server. Hopefully the forum will continue to work during this process, but if it goes offline I'll work to fix that and that will just mean I need to move the whole enchilada at once (sigh).

I'm going to skip that part and have a beer

Step 9 is complete. The main site is now running on the new server (whew).

I'm going to make dinner for my family then I'm going to work on migrating the forum. Before the migration begins the forum will go into "offline mode" so you'll see a message letting you know it's down during that time.

Here we go…

TY.
But I was kinda expecting enchiladas.

Now I'm hungry again.
