In a recent post, I mentioned that there are some planned upgrades in the works.  I am happy to say that the first part of those upgrades is now complete, in the form of a new server.  That server, as you may have guessed, has been named Poseidon.  I chose the name because Charybdis is the name of the current server (its second incarnation, I might add), and Scylla is the name of my router (also a second incarnation).  I figured the next logical progression was to go for something that links those two... if you don't know how Poseidon links Scylla and Charybdis, you need to do some reading on Wikipedia or something.

Over the next few weeks I will be migrating services from one server to another.  This will probably be the slowest part, so don't expect any major changes to happen right away.  Here's the list of things to accomplish, in no particular order:

• Migrate DNS
• Migrate PostgreSQL databases
  • copy to Poseidon
  • point Charybdis' services to Poseidon
  • turn off PostgreSQL on Charybdis
•  Setup Apache on Poseidon
  
  • PHP + PostgreSQL & MySQL
  • misc PHP packages
• Move web hosts to Poseidon
• Move Subversion to Poseidon
• Move scheduled jobs (cron tab) to Poseidon)
