Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Hello there!
On May 28th, between 4:00pm and 7:00pm PST, we will be performing a few upgrades on your shared MySQL server, 'carvingknife'.
We expect the process to take up to 1 hour total, and once this has completed, your MySQL server will be running Ubuntu Bionic.
You may notice that your MySQL databases are unreachable for brief periods, or your website may behave unexpectedly while we complete the upgrade. This is normal, and your sites and databases will be back online as soon as the upgrade is complete!
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact support: >[link]
Thanks!The Happy DreamHost MySQL Upgrading Robot
Sometime in July Dreamhost will be upgrading its hosting servers from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 18.04. It seems like there's a chance this will break everything. Just FYI.
Are we ready to jump to the shiny new board 2.0? Would that fix it?
There would be some DNS and certificate work, but yes. The upgrade might not break everything, it just seems possible.
Hm. I don't know if this is something we need to have a vote on or what, but given all the improvements you've made and how many issues our current site has, I wonder if it might be time.
Well, if dreamhost changes do break everything, it'll probably be time. It would be good for me to make a few improvements and bump up the versions on everything first. The most important improvement on the beta site is security.
For those of us who haven't been to the beta site, what will we need to do when we switch? Do we need to remember our current passwords?
I'd rather not wait and see if the upgrades break everything.
What do we all need to do to help makes things ready for the switch over? Do you need coding help/designing help?
Who has the skills (all I know it is not me)?
Just out of ignorant curiosity, what happens to this board after the switch? Do we abandon the URL, row away and watch her sink into the abyss? Or just move out and let the mice take over?
