New Metabunk Server

[Mick West]

I've moved Metabunk over to a new server.

Hardware specifications are unchanged, but I essentially reinstalled the software from scratch, prioritizing user security.

This includes changing SItrec to run from a container. This is a virtual, isolated environment - essentially a server within a server. This has several advantages for reliability and security.

It's also a big change, and change tends to break things at first. I'm trying to address as much as possible overnight, but it's likely there will be a few things to iron out.

Long story short: let me know if you see something that is broken. Particularly with Sitrec.

I also updated the XenForo software that Metabunk runs on (2.3.10 -> 2.3.13). It's not a major update in terms of features (new development on XenForo has been rather slow), but hopefully it fixes more than it breaks.

Sitrec seems to be working ok. I just recreated the PrimeAir crash at Miami and all seems ok.

Something's a bit up with the side panels beside posts - the avatar/username/"senior member"/etc. - in this thread:

I'm noot sure if it was like it before, to be honest, but it stands out as odd now. Other threads seem fine from a cursory glance.

That's a coincidence; it's an old thread that was recently resurrected. I had it formatted differently as I was experimenting with the Podcast posts. I've turned it back into a normal thread.

I'm seeing two Home tabs, one with the dropdown menu, one without. Nothing seems broken though.
