Post server migration recap:

Server move is completed as well as now the various scripts that keep the server doing what its supposed to. This includes the onsite and offsite backups so if there is any failure now we have copies locally of everything and as well as off site with the object storage provider in a different bucket.

Total cost is $15 a month for the server and backups so it is easy to pay for (basically cost of a starbucks coffee) and no risk of anything happening. It should be faster now and so on as I optimised the containers and how they were working as well.

Since the new server has more resources I have been able to clean up some of the scripts and there are no more reboots at all (previously server rebooted once per day). The only interruption is a daily stop of the dockers and backup which takes like 15 minutes total daily just to ensure postgres is consistent and easy to restore. This happens at 03:31-03:46 EST early morning.

Considering I just did a VPS server move and we have full consistent backups off site that are continually working both before snd after the move it seems likely that the service should continue to remain in action one way or another no matter what happens. I know hexbear instance died so just triple checked we wont have any similar upsets due to some oversight. Server = safe. Finances = safe. We should be good.

Im just going to leave the server alone and not log into it for a week and then see how it performed after that. I was fiddling around a bit last few days unfortunately just because after a server move a few things need changing to be more appropriate. I also had to log a bug on github for something to do with one of the packages used on the server. The server also got upgraded to latest Debian.

Many thanks P
