Hello y'all 👋✨, this is the status page for the migration today!
The plan as it stands is to download all of the data from our prior hosting party, which will be around 90GiB.
This download is likely to take about ~2h. After which we'll import the user data into the new server and start it.
This is likely to take another 1~2h. After which the server will be online. However, our media will not be fully recovered by then,
meaning that there might be profile pictures or old media from your profile missing. This will be restored over a span of 5 hours.

Update timeline:
- 13 Jul 12:13PM UTC+2:
New backup measures are installed, the server has officially landed 100%! Migration complete :) I'll likely do some fun homebrew-y tweaks over the next few weeks, but other than that we're done! ✨ - 10:52PM UTC+2:
Restarting the server, sorry if the server is out for a bit, should fix media issues! - 10:48PM UTC+2:
There seems to be a problem with the media upload! I'm taking a look! - 10:22PM UTC+2:
Service should be fully operational! Some images from profiles of other servers might still be loading as we're still recovering media, which will likely continue for another 4+ hours.
There's also problems with caching for browsers, please take a look at this post for details on how to fix! - 9:34PM UTC+2:
Site is back up! but still in recovery mode effectively, don't expect everything to work properly, but DM me if you have something specific! - 9:25PM UTC+2:
Site is live! but not fully functional probably, i'll be going through it to get things working again! - 9:09PM UTC+2:
Crazy that im the only person allowed to post on gamedev.lgbt rn, because of this status page :/ - 8:55PM UTC+2:
Media import has started, as well as the database import. Will enable the main website whenever it's ready and report here! Should ~30 minutes - 8:17PM UTC+2:
Upload to the server is likely to take ~20~30 minutes, but can be shorter depending on if my computer is feeling like wanting to work faster - 8:17PM UTC+2:
Download is done! Starting migration on the new server! - 7:52PM UTC+2:
Download is about 75% through! Hang in there y'all.. what's your favorite color would you say? - 6:36PM UTC+2:
Download is ready! Getting our data now, will let y'all know when its done and we start with importing it into the new server! ✨ (download will take approx 1h40m) - 6:31PM UTC+2:
I've yet to receive/download the data, because they're still packing it. This will likely delay the server being up significantly, my apologies y'all :/ - 5:46PM UTC+2:
That backup sure is taking its sweet time getting ready 😅 - 5:30PM UTC+2:
Starting with the migration!!! - 4:56PM UTC+2:
Main strategy decided, getting things ready for the actual migration! - 3:46PM UTC+2:
Figured out how to transfer the files properly in a dry run, but need to undo the dry run, will take a while... - 1:56PM UTC+2:
Managed to figure our remote storage solution, continuing with dry running! - 1:08PM UTC+2:
Taking a lil lunch break, having some problems with S3 - 11:43AM UTC+2:
Started doing dryruns, no downtime yet!
