Sorry for the extended downtime, I messed up when attempting to copy over the media. I should have just rsync’d it to begin with, rather than attempting to compress it first.
Anyways, everything looks to be working, but it may take a bit for DNS to be updated for everyone.
Let me know if you have any issues!
just wanted to move to a more economical hosting company. been meaning to do it for a while, but figured I should do it since we’re starting to see some growth.
Is it a Canadian hosting company?
yes, i’m currently using lunanode. i’ve used them in the past, and like their feature set and their pricing seems fair.
How long have you been running an instance? How much of your time does it take up?
i’ve been running this instance since Jan/Feb 2022. @kinetix@lemmy.ca ran it before me for about 2 years I believe?
so far, it doesn’t take up much of my time. i get very few reports to deal with, and upgrading/maintenance is quick and easy.
in the past few days, it’s been mostly going through new user applications, but that’s quick and easy too.
if we continue to grow, i will probably be looking for some help with administering this instance, as i’m guessing it will become too much for one person to handle.
