Good reading, as well: http://www.smbitjournal.com/2011/02/why-we-reboot-servers/

A little modern design can get that to zero downtime no problem.

Sure thing, but that would have been a huge undertaking in regards to how applications were written/designed. Starting fresh, no question.

Would it? What are you running that wouldn't do that today? Wordpress will sure do that.

Well, my comment was based on what the developers were telling me back then. Specifically, the way the websites (IIS & .NET) and databases (MS SQL) handle individual user "sessions". I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but it was more effort and development time than what the company was willing to invest in at that point in time.

Oh, the developers screwed up and made a bad application that can't scare properly and then got stuck because scaling and transparent updates are done in the same way. Got it.

But for WordPress, it "just works."

More like, it was an older product that was built up over many, many years, and the products were being phased out anyway, and being replaced by a newer product that would scale properly. I left before said product came to market though.

I have no complaints about Wordpress nowadays. Very simple to setup and use. Really a great tool for all user levels.

I do realize that, but if the system works on LInux, it will probably work anywhere. 😉

That's not solid logic. Lots of things run on Linux but not in a browser.

Looks like def more than minimal.

[root@bna-cmty ~]# yum -y install nano wget firewalld yum-cron epel-release Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.rackspace.com * epel: mirror.steadfast.net * extras: centos.mirrors.tds.net * updates: cosmos.illinois.edu Package nano-2.3.1-10.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package wget-1.14-10.el7_0.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package firewalld-0.3.9-14.el7.noarch already installed and latest version Package epel-release-7-8.noarch already installed and latest version Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package yum-cron.noarch 0:3.4.3-132.el7.centos.0.1 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution

Not going to bother making a comparison, just noting that nano and wget are not part of a minimal install. Neither is epel, but firewalld actually is back in the minimal package if you go look at the monthly releases instead of the last "release" which was 1511.

Thanks Scott. That jogged my memory to enable ssl module. That was what I missed.

Docker container is running. NextCloud is installed, but I need to get the correct selinux setting for the apps folder, and create the reverse proxy for NextCloud to access the collabora container with. Hopefully finish up in the next couple of evenings.

I got timed out at hop 8 along the trace route to 45.63.18.153

That's normal.

We need some latency numbers from around the world. Anyone want to collect some for us?

Here is the first IP address. A long running ping (hundreds or thousands of pings) would be good, we need the final stats from that:

104.236.119.59 108.61.151.173 172.99.75.133

We have a good idea on bandwidth, IO, CPU and memory. Network latency is pretty huge.

What does Drush do? What requirements does it have that keep it from getting installed?

Drush is a CLI tool for Drupal. You can pretty much manage your whole site with it. But you need root access (or sudo).

If you update Drupal manually on shared hosting you pretty much have to back up the whole site, redownload the new Drupal version, reupload your sites folder (where all your info is), change the DB settings file, and chmod it.

With drush you type drush up drupal and you're done.

Or if you want to update everything (modules and themes also) type drush up

It's more of a pain with shared hosting to do all of that also.

There we go. Slowly decreasing that list of unanswereds.

Nitrobackup powered by LiveDrive is unlimited storage for unlimited computers (Biz version) at $109 a year. You really can't beat it.

That's pretty major! I would definitely worry a bit about Vultr for production at this point. We are using it in this one instance for something internal that has a good amount of ability to go offline for a while without it being an issue. Vultr is saving us a fortune in this instance.

Amazon and Azure are really the big players now for production stuff. Rackspace is there but their quality is definitely lagging. We still use them (for ML for example) but are using them less and less. I've run into almost non-stop issues with using them for anything of scale. Their support is just so poor.

Not to be confused with the big pink V.

And what is that?

I have no idea either.
