The long pending upgrade to US-VA-01 has finally been completed. In the process, we got rid of some unused sites. Here are a list of sites now hosted on this server:
- people.devinivas.org (PDO)
- git.devinivas.org (Git)1
- dish.devinivas.org (DISH Homepage)
To make optimal use of our limited resources, there will be an indefinite hiatus on the following services:
- time.bp4k.net (Devi Nivas HTTP Time Service) and its HTTP-only sister site
- git.bp4k.net (now only accessible via git.devinivas.org)
There is also a temporary hiatus on gt3.in, which we do plan to get up and running soon.
On a technical note, we bid adieu to Apache2 and now use NGINX instead. This gets rid of htaccess/htpasswd configuration options but the site now loads with reduced latency. We have also increased the EC2 tier of the server (i.e. more RAM) hence response times should further improve from the previously sluggish performance. We have also gotten rid of Anubis and will replace it with an equivalent in-house system later next year.
We have also updated the DISH information page, adding adequate information that can give context to family members who aren’t a part of the project yet.
As with the last IN-MH-01 update, if you notice any discrepancies, such as missing data or pages that have lost protection, please contact DISH support immediately. We’ll be retaining the old instance for a month from today.
-Your friendly sysadmins!
