I’ve ordered the next year’s hosting for the wota.org.uk site with a new provider, cloudabove.com (who I highly recommend) so there will be some disruption as the site is moved over.
Please don’t log any historic activation or chase contacts now as they will not be transferred to the new system.
I’ll let you know when the site is stable enough to use again.
Just to add that this won’t affect discourse. I did an upgrade earlier today on discourse which affected it but all should be good now!
Cloudabove are tackling the migration on Monday, so hopefully it should all be sorted by Tuesday. I’m happy to let them do it for me, all part of the great service!
As far as I can tell, apart from the CGI-BIN SOTA CSV import process and some minor character encoding issues everything has been migrated now to Cloudabove.
If folk can check their own login and let me know if there are any discrepancies please?
I think the DNS updates should mostly be complete.
It is safe to use the manual logging components now if you are entering historic contacts.
The SOTA CSV logging facility isn’t working at the moment, but I think I know what the issue is - there isn’t any underlying problems relating to the hosting, just need to get round to hitting the right nail with the right hammer.
Cloudabove did a great job, it can’t have been easy migrating such a mature codebase.
OK, the golang cgi-bin scripts that support SOTA CSV file uploading are now working, together with the golang cronjobs that pull spots and alerts through from SOTA.
The one thing remaining is to add 2021 to various lists of years used on the php site so 2021 is actually an option!
