Tuesday Wednesday Thursday prev .. today .. (no next yet) Upgrade Plan There's a bit of time-pressure to get the upgrade working because of a security vulnerability in the RC version that just happened to be what we upgraded to, but I also don't want to crash the server again (as happened yesterday). The team agrees that we need a test-deployment process. The broad outlines I've worked out: live image the TC server spin up a copy, and reconfig it to be dev.toot.cat make sure it's running ok as-is (data might have gotten munged by being live-imaged; if so, can do a pg data export/import) reconfig Nix to target dev.TC run the upgrade look at dev.TC and see if everything runs ok Preparation needed before this can work: modify Nix scripts so they can switch target servers easily figure out what changes need to be made to the server image in order to run properly as dev.TC instead of TC write a subscript to automate those changes Meanwhile, I need to do a little research to figure out how to nicely ask Git to compare two existing commits for me. (All of the relevant commits are tagged, fortunately.)
