Server Migrations over the coming weeks

Hey everyone,

over the coming weeks, we will be migrating almost all our game worlds (public ones as well as exclusive ones) to a new hosting setup. Each game world should only be down for a short period of time, but initially we’ll likely experiment with and tweak some settings, so occasional reboots and downtimes can’t be avoided.

We will announce on this thread which (public) game worlds are up next and once we’re done with their migration.

The first game worlds to move will be Idlewild and Quimby and the migration will probably take place tomorrow morning.

Thanks a lot for your understanding!

Idlewild and Quimby have been migrated. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, please let us know. As said, we might run a few more configuration experiments, so please excuse any unexpected (but typically short) downtimes.

The next game worlds to move will be Croydon and Nicosia, likely tomorrow morning Central European time.

Done for today. Croydon and Nicosia have been migrated.

Next up tomorrow will be Limatambo as well as three exclusive game worlds.

Hi,
I am not able to access Nicosia since at least 2pm (14:00) german time - 503 Service unavailable.
Croydon seems to be running fine.

Sorry about that, I’m looking into it.

Its back! Thank you :smile:

Limatambo has moved successfully.

Due to the AirlineSim meet-up in Munich this weekend, I will take a break from migrations until next week. So next up on Monday will be Aspern, Hoover and Pearls.

Aspern, Hoover and Pearls have moved successully.

Next up tomorrow will be Ellinikon, Otto and Stapleton.

Ellinikon, Otto and Stapleton have moved successfully.

Next up tomorrow will be Devau, Riem and Xiguan.

Devau, Riem and Xiguan have moved successfully.

Next up tomorrow will be Gatow, Kaitak and Meigs.

Decided to accelerate the process a bit and also do Fornebu, Tempelhof and Yeager in addition to Gatow, Kaitak and Meigs today.

And done. Especially the older game worlds are still catching up their backlog, but otherwise this is an end of an era: For the first time in AirlineSim history, not a single game world is running on a bare-metal server anymore. It’s all VMs now.

Bleriot, Yeouido and Domination as well as a bunch of exclusive game worlds have been moved to VMs before this migration and they’ll be adjusted to the new setup soon as well, likely tomorrow or early next week.

And we’re done!

That’s all the game worlds moved, including all exclusive ones. Thanks a lot for your understanding over the past few weeks!
