Site Down for maintenance - 5:00pm PT - 14th February

14 Feb 2021

I need to get our database moved onto a new server. This will take a few hours to migrate all the data.
The main site will be unavailable from 5:00pm PT for about 6 hours.
Thanks.

So 8pm EST, I guess. Good luck, gav. I'm moving the accounting system at work to a new db server next weekend so I know how much fun this is going to be for you (not).

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Thanks for the warning Gav glad I got in a great conversation ahead of it! Hope it goes as planned for you!

Still down for you?

All seems fine to me. And it's now been well over 12 hours so surely Gav is done with the work.

I was never any good estimation, ask my project manager Embarassed

We had to jump to a major version of MongoDB, which meant installing a few minor versions to perform the migration.

Hopefully things should be zipping along nicely on our shiny new hardware.

Certainly feels a lot nippier, thanks for all the work you put in.

Server migrations are hard graft, especially when upgrading software components too. I've been putting mine off for ages - and it's only migrating everything from one VM to a new one. But the OS I'm on is entering EOL soon and the installed software's getting old, so I need to knuckle down and script the hell out of it to save me the drudgery.

Appreciate your time and dedication to the good ship Lush.
