Oh, if you're going to be migrating the data from the current mysql database to postgresql: Before the PHP upgrade in 2016, text records were being inserted as windows-1252 (latin-1), but after the upgrade strings were UTF-8. Which is why you see ⬧'s all over the place here. (I selectively converted some records to utf-8 afterwards).
It might make the migration take a little longer, but it would probably be useful, as you're migrating the data, to check and see if a record is coded as windows-1252 or utf-8, and covert the latin-1 strings to utf-8.
Good to know.
I agree with Tom about docker being too much for a pretty straightforward application.
Fair enough. Just where my headspace is right now.
Anyone know what this might be about?
Hello,
We hope you're enjoying your DreamHost account!
We've noticed some content on your account that might run afoul of our
Acceptable Use Policy and wanted to draw your attention to it:
321G
"ps189917:/home/buff_org/buffistas.org/phoenix/www.buffistas.org/logs"
247G
"ps189917:/home/buff_org/buffistas.org/phoenix/buffistas.org/logs"
The storage on our servers is designed specifically for hosting websites
and their associated content. It's not well suited to being used as a
backup solution or other general-use storage solution. That can include
(but is not limited to!) using the web server as method of delivering
files not intended for website use.
The bad news is that we have to ask you to delete this content from your
server within the next seven days (by the end of February 5, 2018). The
good news is that we offer a service, DreamObjects, that's custom-built
for storing large amounts of data like backups and other large archives.
You can learn more about DreamObjects here:

As a reference, please see our Acceptable Use and Unlimited storage
policies in our terms of service:

Unfortunately, we cannot allow the data we cited above to continue to
live on your current web service. We'd prefer that you move the data off
yourself at a time that's convenient for you, but if you take no action
we will delete the data above in seven days. Please let us know what you
plan to do. Please note, we will try our best to ensure your data is not
deleted before the date listed above, and your reply is appreciated.
If you feel that we're wrong about your content (hey, it happens!),
please contact us with details so that we can investigate the matter for
you and take appropriate action.
We appreciate you hosting with us, so please let us know if you have any
questions about this message, our policies, or anything else related to
your service. We're always available and happy to help!
Thanks!

We need to delete the logs because they is huge.
They can really grow to ridiculous sizes! (like what happens to my storage unit)
You can use logrotate to keep things under control, but I don't know if that can be set up with dreamhost.
Do we need them? (NB: I don't know what logs are in this context.)
I seriously doubt that we do.
So should anyone do anything about this, or do we just let the files get deleted?
