- Thanks to the gracious work of our host, we are back up and running on a previous backup in a different location.
The only things that have been lost were any images I uploaded in the previous two days. IPv6 connectivity is also gone; AAAA records have been removed.
On April 8, 2024, the original hardware was repaired and is back online.
Plans for the future:
The following happened:
- Wait and see what our kind host tells us what we're doing.
- Work on restoring daily local backups.
Previously I had a simple backup that ran daily to my home storage based around rsync. This was fine except for random reasons files would resync that didn't need to be resync'd.
I wanted this for files that may be dynamically updated server-side. I need to up my rsync game or see what it's doing.
I have also been running this same VPS install since 2020. It actually started on one host, then was migrated to an entirely different host with different virtualization technology; as well as seeing a full distro upgrade. It may be time for me to rebuild the VPS from scratch.
- DNS A records were switched back to old IPs and AAAA records restored.
- Services that didn't rely on DNS were flipped over.
- An nginx configuration issue was tracked down and fixed.
- A copy of the previous page was pushed to the repostory.
