Alright, I've literally been at it for seven hours. Here's what done, here's what needs to done, and if you find something broken, let me know.
- Upgraded all machines to Ubuntu 22.04 (from 14.04 in most cases)
- Successfully brought database cluster back up to full service
- Rebuild web frontend to modern nginx/Ubuntu from very old Gentoo
Here's what's going to happen sometime tonight or tomorrow
- Outbound SMTP service will be fixed
- Start fully decommissioning the first set of servers ...
There's likely a lot of things still broken. if you find something broken, leave it in the comments. I'll get to it in the next day. At least we're not on 8 year old software anymore. Current plan after taking care of the above, going to find a good host (probably Fastmail) for editor emails, I do have the backups of everyone inbox should they want it. This has been, very much an exercise in pain. If you want to support me directly: Patreon for recurring, or Ko-fi for one time.
I'll be back in a few hours to work on this more. We raised another $560 USD for charity, and I hope folks had a great time. The next parts I need to just do, so the next stream will likely involve dealing with getting rehash to run in Docker.

I can't get the Search [soylentnews.org] to work at the moment. Not sure if you're already aware.
For example if I put in Microsoft, select Stories and sort by most recent, there are no results. None of the other searches I tried worked either. Maybe some indicies need rebuilding on the database? Or something, what do I know...

Yes that's the actual message it gives me as well, even if I search Stories for Unix Time which is in the title of the most recent story.

I noticed this earlier myself - I was trying to search for a previous comment I'd written about unix time.
I tried again just now, and search fails for "comments" "users" "stories" and "journals". I'd guess nothing there works.
