Morning all,
Advance notice folks of a large scale changes to our server on the 29th.
We will begin work to modernize the server by moving to newer, more powerful hardware that uses lightning-fast NVMe drives (rather than traditional SSDs) for storage.
We will upgrade the operating system (for geeeks: Debian Stretch to Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04.)
We migrate 5.27 GB of memory and 158.10GB of disk space.
We upgrade the database (MySQL to v8).
As this involves a new server hostname and IP address, and a shiney new database, there is a risk there will be disruption but will plan to not have any - no downtime expected!
Cheers,
Jools
