EX6-osmj End-of-Life

[dkastl]

The Georepublic server, that has been hosting the OSMFJ Drupal site for many years now, is getting older. And other applications running on this server will be shut down in the next month(s).

It would be good to plan the end-of-life of the current server and migrate the Drupal site, see #2 .

Are there any other services running on EX6-osmj?

Georepublic can sponsor other hosting resources if necessary. Just for the current server price/value is not good anymore, and the risk of hardware failure is increasing. It's better to move to new hardware.

I setup clean new server and I will do migration to new server in this month or next month.
Also we move Sinsai.info archive into new server.

I've finally moved Openstreetmap.jp to new server ! Where is a sinsai.info archive?

[smellman]

@miurahr can you change tile server url to https schema?

[dkastl]

@miurahr , thanks a lot!
Can you tell me, when the server is not used anymore, because I would cancel it then.

[dkastl]

@miurahr , any update on this server?
If everything has been migrated, then I would like to shut it down.

[miurahr]

All OSM japan site contents and system have been migrated.
DNS http://osmf.jp goes to EX6- osmj but https://www.osmf.jp working well.
When shutting down, http://osmf.jp become unknown.

I could reach the dashboard.

Currently it has following setting.

a @ 46.4.47.110

And dig shows current www.osmf.jp has following setting. How can I do that? or should I pass it to @smellman?

46.4.47.110 is probably the Hetzner server.

I think the issue here is, that the root domain requires an IP address in DNS. It's one of the annoying limitations. So my suggestion would be, that we use osmfj.jp with Github pages. It seems, we'Re using Github pages, correct?

With Github pages you can set 4 A records like here:

And we could then for www do

www  CNAME   @
