This Saturday we will move the Friendica.World database to a new server. The current server's disks were full and couldn't be extended.

We will start at around 19:30 CEST (https://www.inyourowntime.zone/2025-10-11_19.30_Europe.Amsterdam)

Update 11-10-2025

We have run a rsync of the database, but when running a second rsync, we noticed this still takes many hours. So we decided to bring down friendica.world now (11:15 CEST) so the rsync of the data will be finished this evening.

There was no time to find another solution like database replication, because the disk will be full after this weekend.

Second update 11-10-2025

The database migration was finished, and after it was checked that all was running fine, we also did the upgrade to Friendica 2025.07-rc Everything seems to run OK. From here, we will do further troubleshooting into performance issues that still exist. Also, we plan to add 1 or 2 extra VMs for the frontend.

Fantastic news 🙌 Hope 2025.07RC will do a better job irt database maintenance and reliability of maintenance jobs running and being executed as expected.
