[Done] Server will be migrated (More power!) (self.lemmyworld)

So after we've extended the virtual cloud server twice, we're at the max for the current configuration. And with this crazy growth (almost 12k users!!) even now the server is more and more reaching capacity.

Therefore I decided to order a dedicated server. Same one as used for mastodon.world.

So the bad news... we will need some downtime. Hopefully, not too much. I will prepare the new server, copy (rsync) stuff over, stop Lemmy, do last rsync and change the DNS. If all goes well it would take maybe 10 minutes downtime, 30 at most. (With mastodon.world it took 20 minutes, mainly because of a typo :-) )

For those who would like to donate, to cover server costs, you can do so at our OpenCollective or Patreon

Thanks!

Update The server was migrated. It took around 4 minutes downtime. For those who asked, it now uses a dedicated server with a AMD EPYC 7502P 32 Cores "Rome" CPU and 128GB RAM. Should be enough for now.

I will be tuning the database a bit, so that should give some extra seconds of downtime, but just refresh and it's back. After that I'll investigate further to the cause of the slow posting. Thanks @[email protected] for assisting with that.

I supposed due comparative of Apollo. I will download it on my iPad. On Android I'm using Jerboa, which is beautiful and intuitive, but have a lot of stuff to improve and doing some things news and better! But is the version 0.0.30 so is relatively new, and is the app of the official staff. The app you mentioner for iOS costs moneyonf AppStore?

Nope, its free and oss. It's in beta rn though so it has to be installed through testflight. They have a channel over on lemmy.ml https://lemmy.ml/c/mlemapp.

What do you mean need installed through testflight?I'm not an expert on iOS, I just have an iPad that a relative gifted to me.
