Title: Reduced Website Availability, 2-3 August

I'll be doing some maintenance (both hardware and software) on the server which hosts the SRou and UKGPL websites over the next couple of days which will result in the site being unavailable for some of the time. The site should be fully available again by the start of Sunday.

All hardware work complete.

The bulk of the software changes (host OS upgrade, and move from a dedicated virtual machine to a cluster of Docker-based containers) are also complete. There may be some short outages whilst other infrastructure is updated to match.

As the configuration is completely different from the old setup, please report anything out of the ordinary.

All done (unless anyone spots anything borked :D ).

Hi Dave, I seem to no longer get email notifications when someone sends me a PM. Is this just me?

I'll look into it; thanks for reporting.

This morning's outage was caused by the database running out of space. It's been given more and told not to be so greedy. :D

A misconfiguration with race imports requiring an extra PHP module has been corrected.
