Teknik Migration Plan
With some stress testing and bug fixes, Teknik v2 is ready for production release. :D
The migration status will happen in a couple stages to help limit the amount of downtime needed of the site. The Mail service, Git, and Mumble will not be affected by the migration.
- Disable User Registration
- Migrate Podcast, Transaction, and Takedown data to new DB
- Disable User Login (for web services)
- Migrate Users, Blogs, Posts, and Comments to new DB
- Disable pastes and uploads
- Migrate Paste and Upload data to new DB
- Copy upload files to new storage structure
- Point Dev to live server and test functionality
- Shut down live website and remove IIS sites
- Set new Teknik website as main site in IIS
- Test functionality
- Re-enable all services
Due to the changes in the database schema as well as technology, the migration of data may take some time. I will be doing a copy, not a move so if anything goes wrong and it will take significantly longer than anticipated, I will re-enable the live site while I work on a fix.
