Hello everyone!
I’ll be taking the site down for two maintenance windows this week to complete our server migration.
- Weds Jan 29th - 09:00 - 11:00 PT (12:00 - 14:00 ET)
- Thurs Jan 30th - 09:00 - 11:00 PT (12:00 - 14:00 ET)
During the first window I’ll be migrating us from OVH to our new dedicated hardware. After this migration there will likely be some temporarily broken images, as it takes approximately 8 hours to resync our object storage from OVH.
This is a major change and despite my testing, may have some unintended side effects. If you run into any problems that aren’t just a broken image, please let us know.
The second maintenance window is to migrate our pict-rs database from it’s local sled-db into our primary postgres DB. This is a much smaller change but since pict-rs checks every image as it goes through them, it takes about 1.5 hours.
As usual, you can check https://status.lemmy.ca/ for updates.
Second move complete, all done for now!
First move complete, went smoothly =)
The broken images and thumbnails should fill in over the next 8-10 hours 🤞
Beautiful work … thanks for everything
Didn’t even notice. Today’s been busier at work. :D

Exciting. This brings us one step closer to Pixelfed and Friendica hosted by Fedecan.
Good luck, @Shadow@lemmy.ca. 🤞
Good luck with the work … and thanks for doing all this
What’s the best way to let you know if we’re having issues after the maintenance windows? Any on a different platform if we have issues accessing Lemmy?
Thanks for all the hard work!!
We’re also in the lemmy rooms on matrix, but shadow@fedecan.ca is probably the quickest method to get my attention if you can’t even post on Lemmy at all. I really don’t expect any issues though.
Thank you for the updates🤗
I hope the migration goes well!✊🍀Good luck with the server migration!
