Whigdev (whitespace) BBS recovery project

Whigdev/Whitespace is down for the count | Phora Nova

I’m reconfiguring websites and in fact I’m reactivating my ‘web host reseller’ service from 10 years ago, that I used when sometimes hosting and web managing SI and TBB.

Current plans and timelines:

1/ whigdev will be completely rebuilt to prove safe to do so, using new infrastructure (ASAP)
2/ whitespace DB will be transfered and tested
3/ whigdev existing infrastructure, including whitespace will be destroyed and and DNS repointed to new home (by say Memorial Day)
4/ archive recovery from PHP breakage can commence, order of sites TBD (mine and those I’ve managed in the past, and requests I’ve received for archive recovery)

I’ve made enough progress rebuilding old LAMP stacks with MySQL/Maria DB (not usually the problem unless you are cutting edge) and PHP (very definitely a problem if your webhost changes versions on you and trashes your sites), for the above to be feasble. I hope to publish my scripts for building the sites and Docker Compose files etc.
