A KVM is basically a second computer that acts as a virtual screen and keyboard that can be connected to the server to remote control it as if you were physically in front of it, including hardware resets and access to the bios etc.

    I bought a KVM for that purpose, but didn't get around installing it.

    The other person able to do it manually will be available the same time as me more or less so I don't want to bother them.

    Yeah, I need to work on the busfactor.

    The last time it went down was a similar situation and all the stuff I planned to prevent it next time I procastrinated on because the server was stable 🤦

    Due to the unfortunate down-time of slrpnk.net we are currently researching possible blockers for creating a Lemmy to Piefed migration guide or script for a relaunch in 1-2 months.

    I have never done such a migration before, but generally it seems possible, although migrating image uploads from Pict-rs adds additional complexity (that might not be worth it).

    I have created an issue on Codeberg about possible blockers here, but additional input on possible issues or examples of similar migration scripts would be appreciated.

    If anyone else has similar plans, please let me know so that we can work together on this.

    Edit: unexpectatly we are back online. Will share how we found a solution later. There might be still some federation issues though.

    Alt account of poVoq@slrpnk.net here.

    Our instance is currently down and I can't get remote access to the servers. It appears that there might have been a hardware failure of the main firewall, which is the one thing I can't work around remotely.

    I am still trying a few things, but I am not very optimistic that I can get access.

    The really unfortunate part is that just now I am on one of my rare work deployments abroad, so I also can't access it physically during the next few weeks and my usual back up that could restart it is not available either.

    As something like that never happened in 3 years operating the servers, I thought I can risk it, but murphy's law seems inescapable 😓

    I will try to keep you posted here on any updates, but probably there will not be much I can do for a while. Really bad timing 😥

    Edit: we might use this "opportunity" to migrate the instance to Piefed, which has been an idea for quite some time now. I will keep you posted on that.
