Alex, thanks for the update. I've not taken the time to research how these
things work (money within the Inc., I mean). Are you paying for this temporary
solution out of your own pocket? If so, myself and im sure several other
community members would love to to help with any financial stress. Perhaps a
paypal we could give to? Or if there is a better way or already systems in
place to reimburse you, that's good too. In case you haven't seen the last
financial report, the Inc. is not particularly starved for money, to put it
mildly. But using any funds in new ways requires the approval of the rest of
the board, and so for now just paying out of pocket and getting reimbursed by
the Inc. later makes more sense. -waddlesplash
Correct :-)
I appreciate the offer. Honestly, the cost is pretty low.. (< 20USD).
I've gotten the following up on scaleway:
* gerrit (git.haiku-os.org)
* traefik (haiku-os.org -> www.haiku-os.org)
* cgit (cgit.haiku-os.org)
DNS is updating and we shouldn't lose any data.
The OS upgrades have been extremely painful historically speaking (irregardless
of OS)
due to the "shut everything down, hope it works, bring everything back up"
nature.
(this is extremely painful as well at Hetzner since getting a KVM is like
pulling teeth.)
I really want to find a hard lesson in all of this and figure out a more
reliable strategy going
forward. We really need zero downtime upgrades. Now that we're container based
this is
definitely a lot easier to do. Using the services above as an example, I
literally just copied
the persistent volumes to a new VM host, started some containers, and switched
dns over.
