Hi folks

 

Geekzone has a new home!

 

Almost a year ago we had this drunk idea during a BBQ. From there a new server was commissioned, configured and tested.
 
Our VM was migrated from one platform to another. We tweaked, tested and tested.

 

As a result, we have also moved from our previous colocation provider to a new datacentre location. We now have two different network providers with faster connectivity. And we are planning a high-availability configuration, when we move our old hardware to the new datacentre.

 

We have been working on this project in the background and acknowledge the help and contributions of the following group:

 

- @michaelmurfy and @cisconz who worked so hard to configure the environment, setup network and help with the VM migration. 
- Vetta for providing us with a new server and rack space.
- DataVault (@skyplonk) for providing us with power.
- Vetta (@saf) and Prodigi (@danfaulknor) for providing us with network access, allowing for redundant paths.

 

Thank you everyone who helped us get here!

... and I didn't feel a thing!

 

Well done to all the amazing people that keep this place physically ticking, and whirring, and humming, and buzzing.

I think I noticed the move recently (about two weeks ago) when the site was unavailable, and I thought my DNS was to blame.😁

Then there was something else two weeks ago. The monitors confirmed that the site (Cloudflare) was unavailable. 😎

I have no idea what's going on....so it all must have been successful. 

Well played, team.
