Server upgrade

Posted on Tuesday 26 May 2009

This is a test post to make sure functionality is working after a server move.

Yep, we’d been hosting with The Planet for a long time, 5+ years.    The system was strong, but we got a few releases behind on Fedora and we were worried the disks were getting old and creaky.     So, after one failed attempt here we are, on a VM with the excellent linnode guys.      Running Ubuntu Jaunty.  Don’t need much to run our public server, and a slice of a machine can handle it.

When I’m sure we’re fully cutover, I’ll offer my thoughts on the experience, and on the viability of exporting public-facing servers to the virtualized cloud in this fashion.   But first I’d better make sure it all works.
