Bldrweb still offline - still working on resolution
Published on January 8, 2025 by Thomas Wells
Just a quick update to let you all know I'm still working on this. Sorry about the long downtime!
It's consuming quite a bit of my time to fix, so I need to balance work in this with my paid work, but I'm not giving up yet. I'm hoping to at least get things functioning enough again for people to be able to migrate their accounts if they want. Maybe it'll be stable enough to continue using.
Current plan:

Current plan:
- try to get bldrweb user emails out of the database so I can alert people who aren't contributors here.
- reinstall vanilla mastodon on a new server and move away from Yunohost
- create new VPS instance
- install mastodon there
- export important data from old server
- import data into new server and config as replacement for toot.bldrweb.org
- reconfig DNS and email things
- decommission old server.
