Hey everyone !
In the perspective of the continuity to development of our forum and optimization of it, we need to do some maintenance tasks.
This will impact all our sites/services, they will not be available during short time as possible. Normally not superior at few hours.
Why this maintenance ?
We are face to technical issue, as you know the majority of our sites, services and data is hosted on a dedicated server named Jade.
All user upload, pictures, videos, avatars, etc. is hosted on Jade, and this take more and more space.
Forum footfetishforum.com: 300Go
UPload upload.footfetishforum.com: 150Go
To secure lost data in case of big problem, we have scheduled 2 sort of backup; 1 daily incremental backup, 1 monthly full backup.
The full backup takes between 7 to 12 hours to do.
This take a lot of server resource, this is long, and in case of we need to restore this will take a lot of time due the size of the backup.
During the backup our service is slow, errors can occur, error 520 etc.
To solve it, we will migrate all user upload to another server (cloud storage)
Currently we are doing tests in the backend, when this is done, we will be ready to do the maintenance.
In the first time, we will start with the forum.
This implies that the forum will be shutdown during this maintenance.
Also, we have some software update to do on the forum & on Jade and to finish a reboot of Jade.
I'll update this thread to keep you informed of the progress.
