hi list,
now as our server is down once again, the old issue of stability comes
back again.
status of leowandersleb.de as a backup server:
* apache2 has a virtual host glob2.leowandersleb.de with aliases like on
drazak's server.
* there is a glob2-account with the same public keys like on drazaks
server: #appleboy, #nct, #genixpro, #andrew, #ion_biddon, #giszmo, #k776
* there is a mySQL-db for glob2 and a phpmyadmin set up
ToDo:
* set up a backup cron job at drazak's server
* either store the backup in a public place (http or ftp) or use an
ssh-key to access the one server via the other (a bit insecure. access
to one server would mean access to both.)
* set up a restore on my server for both the files and the db
* make sure it is read only
* manage the switch in dns if #1 is down.
my progress:
- updating apache2: gentoo realized how badly they screwed up the
apache2 setup and that it was only getting worse so they brought
everything back up to snuff, which means config file changes galore!
Along with other changes from not keeping up the server up to date
(I'm getting there on that too). apache should be back up in about
25 minutes
- backups: I have cleaned up all of the old unused stuff on drazak's
server and downloaded anything that should be archived to my laptop,
those backups are now archived on my laptop, external USB drive, and
a DVD. :) will go through them later. The VPS has a 20GB HD, we were
using 4 GB, down to ~700mb now just to give you a hint of how many
useless things were in there.
- future backup process: my goal is to setup a cron job on drazak's
server to make a local backup of the database, the
username/pass/setting files of each of the YOG servers, and the
public_files for phpbb and the wiki, and put it in a folder, then on
Leo's server have a cron job that runs about an hour after the one
on drazak's server that scp's those files over and puts them in
their proper place.
I don't think there are any other directories that need to be
actively backed up, are there? the other public_html directories are
pretty stagnant unless we update phpbb or the wiki, but no need to
use up extra bandwidth backing those up every night or whatever
interval we decide instead of just updating them on both at the same
time.
- dns switching: Steph is the only one I know of with access to DNS
so can't help you there.
