Hey folks,
If you can read this, you’re on the new server. You’ll have to log in again - we didn’t carry over the secret token for cookies. (Just good practice to rotate security keys during a migration.)
It looks like everything’s good, but if you see anything wrong please leave a comment on this thread.
Thanks to @alynpost for donating the hosting and the ansible configuration.
And, most of all, thanks to @jcs for creating such a wonderful community.
It’s been a pleasure orchestrating this hand-off with both of you, @pushcx and @jcs.
If any of your experience performance degradation or see any error messages please feel free to reach out. I expect we’ll do some performance tuning as we subject the server to it’s normal load. For reporting slowness, I would also be helped to see a traceroute from your location.
Congratulations on a smooth migration!
Thanks for your work. Did the favicon go missing?
They did, yes. Some quirk of the deployment is copying the files into a nested subdir. I’ve manually fixed them for now and we’ll keep debugging.
EDIT: This is fixed now.
I can access favicon.ico. Does that link work for you?
EDIT: I was seeing a cached entry.
I haven’t posted in a while, but just wanted to chime in and congratulate the moderators on a successful migration. As someone sitting on the sidelines, I found the entire process transparent and incredibly well executed. Kudos to everyone involved.
I, for one, welcome our new overlords.
Yay! I didn’t notice a thing (apart from being logged out)
Cheers \o/
What are the specs of the new server?
I’ve allocated 2 VCPUs, 4GiB RAM and 48GiB disk to the server. It’s using about half that RAM and 10% of the disk.
Great work and thanks to @jcs for starting all this!
Thank you @pushcx, @alynpost and @jcs. Great work.
+1. The change was unnoticeable :)
Smooth as butter. Great job!
Did we lose the HSTS headers in the transition? I think lobste.rs is in the preload list, but as far as I know, the headers should still be supplied.
Yes, thank you for catching this. I’ve added this to our migration checklist for cleanup.
I don’t recall if lobsters used to have a
Content-Security-Policyset, but might be worth looking into as well.Awesome! Thanks to everyone who took on this work. And yes, thank you @jcs for building this community over the years.
Im glad you made it - works like a charm! I hope you will still be around, @jcs
The website feels snappier
Congrats and thank you. Well done!
Wow, impressive! Thanks for all the hard work that led to this flawless migration!
Worked until the read-only part which was brief. Great job on the migration! Appreciate everyone who helped make it happen. :)
Great work!
What an amazing community this is! Congratulation guys, this transition was seamless.
Works great. Thanks to everyone involved putting in the effort.
Smoothly done!
Love how this community organizes itself!
that was about as smooth a transition as I have ever been part of - congrats to the whole team!
Wow, that was smooth. Thanks!
Congrats guys. Nice and easy transitions are the best!
Going to “Your Threads” seems slower now, probably database limited but I don’t know.
That went smooth! Thank you all!
Thanks!!!
Great job. Thank you for keeping this alive.
Wow, this was smooth! Congratulations to everyone involved!
Just out of my curiosity, the site was running on OpenBSD before?
