Hello everyone! This #SoFurryServerMoveUpdate is rather comprehensive because a lot happened, so we will share two screenshots instead. Overall good news! Thanks for your patience. We're working on going online very soon again!

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate We're updating our web framework to the latest version. Switched our offsite backup to a different method as it affected read performance. We switched to an internal CI/CD pipeline runner, which means we stopped using ext. build infrastructure to save cost. [1/2]

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate A new volunteer developer joined the team, work is progressing on bugfixes & general things that just need to be done before going live. New off-site server is now syncing data which will take some time, but does not have to be 100% done before opening the doors. [1/2]

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate We're in the process of fixing some important bugs before opening the site. SF2 users who never logged into SFX should now be able to recover their account if their password doesn't work (provided their email still works). [1/2]

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate 👀

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate Good news: New hardware installed and working, good progress upgrading the cluster. Bad news: Our CPUs are pretty old by now and lack support for some modern features, so additional patching of various libraries is required. Not 100% sure yet if this will be successful.

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate A quick one today: Good news everybody! We confirmed the new hardware is compatible and the rest of the nodes will get the same equipment in the coming days. Expect an update in the coming days. Thanks for sticking with us ❤️

We don't want to leave out any information regarding the #SoFurryServerMoveUpdate, so please check the attached #screenshot instead of 4-5 split up posts on here ➡️📝 We know progress has been slow, but we're coming closer be get back online again. Thank you for your patience 🙏

Normally we would've done all that in the background, but the forced move made that impossible. Also, the business model of SF is to be there for the users. We don't have a budget, employees, or really a business. (handful of ad banners that don't cover the cost notwithstanding)

I have been on a business trip for the past week, with no chance to work on SF. Terra is still on a business trip. We're the two critical resources for this. Money isn't the issue right now, it's people. And it's more than just a server move, it's also about migration etc.

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate Server has been moved to the new location and powered on. Now we have the following steps ahead of us: 1) Configure the new firewall 2) Set up a link to the SF2 database for importing 3) Perform the import for all users [1/2]

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate 1) The SFX server gets moved soon. We've already received the neccessary network config information for the new data center. No concrete date yet, but we hope it's not much longer now [1/3]

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate [1/2] New equipment for US datacenter arrived at friend's location & is prepped for shipping. Due to the current political situation in the US, esp pending plans to regulate adult content online, we're also prepping a non-US location to host SF there, just in case.

The second, which all of you can help with sharing: that, if possible, his writing will live forever. If you have or can get copies of his writing, please do so. www.furaffinity.net/user/coyoteo... of-the-wilds.sofurry.com (when the site returns) www.royalroad.com/profile/585905

We mourn the recent passing of @ofthewilds.bsky.social, one of the most prolific writers on SoFurry. You will be missed :(

Update regarding the down time: Still in the process of creating redundant off-site backups prior to the server move. The whole process until we're online again will take a few weeks. We will keep you updated on the progress. For everything else, please refer to the FAQ: www.sofurry.com/faq.html

REMINDER! Tomorrow around 12:00 AM CEST (in about 15 hours) the extended downtime will begin! And again: SoFurry 2.0 will be DEPRECATED! Read up on it in the quoted skeet.

Important❗SoFurry 2.0 will be deprecated EARLIER than planned and #SoFurryNext will have an extended downtime! More information, an FAQ and a thorough explanation here: www.sofurry.com/groups/news?... Likes and shares appreciated! Thank you ❤️

If you didn't notice: SoFurry 2.0 is BACK ONLINE! BUT please still use the #SoFurryX beta in parallel. Another thing: Please take the time & give constructive criticism/#feedback via TICKET. SF2 won't be there forever. "It sucks" won't help make the site better. Thank you ❤️

Unfortunately there's some issues with the replacement hardware. We don't have an updated estimate yet but it's pretty safe to say that this week probably won't happen... As usual we will give you an update as soon as we have any news. Thank you for your patience.

Small update: Replacement hardware has been delivered & we're waiting for installation. Since we're diagnosing this based on LEDs lighting up or not, we may need to replace another part. If we're lucky, SF may be back up this week. No guarantees however. Sorry for the trouble!

SoFurry is down. Hardware failure. Replacement will be on the way soon. Your accounts and submissions are safe. Please use sofurrybeta.com in the meantime. Note: submission import does not work at the moment. Our apologies for the inconvenience

SoFurry is experiencing a hardware issue and is currently down. We will update you as soon as we know more. Note that sofurrybeta.com is not affected and is up and running.
