Diamondaviators.net server will be down for a few days.

Post by Kai »

Unfortunately, the DAN server was hacked and we have not found yet a patch for the vulnerability. We will have to setup the server from scratch and backup 45 GB of data which we have produced on the Diamondaviators.net.

Hope to be able to get DAN back online very soon but I am not sure if it will take hours or days. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Days? :shock: Kai I won't survive this.

Can you suggest an alternative therapy for us addicts in the meantime? Like chocolate or aerobatics or something?

Sorry about that, it is really bad and it will be a lot of work as I have to set up the entire server again. Good news is that no data is lost.

Since I am reading this does it mean that the work is complete?

Colin,

we fixed a few issues and kicked out some software but still don't trust this server, so we are configuring a new one. Once DAN is installed and working on the new server, I can switch off the old one. We should not have any further interruptions, or just very short ones.

Thanks for all this work Kai. Having done similar work on too many occasions, I know how much can be involved. Your data backup rules must have been be excellent as well.

FYI: I am once again receiving notifications and remaining logged in. Subjective, but response time seems a bit faster. That could simply be an artifact of having written more-or-less continuous blocks on the re-install, and data re-population.

Are we on an actual server or is this a virtual machine in the cloud?
