June 09, 2023 at 1:09 AMWe are performing emergency maintenance on the tuesday.mxrouting.net server in order to prevent extended downtime tomorrow. Our datacenter provider for that server (the only server we have with that provider) has informed us that they are moving physical locations tomorrow, and that they expect a 3-4 hour outage. We're not doing that. We're migrating the server into our "home" datacenter in Virginia immediately.
During this maintenance you can expect brief hiccups that appear to resolve themselves very quickly. We've gotten very good at migrating these servers in production, and being one of our smallest (in disk usage) servers, this should go over very smoothly.
We will:
- Disable all services on the server
- Run one final rsync of data
- Switch DNS
- Bring services back online
This will result in no loss of data, and only the most brief of outages. Typically an outage of this length goes unnoticed by our customers, this status page is merely a formality.
