server woes
so ... i did an apt upgrade on my 'wannabe' server yesterday ... or maybe the day before. the days are all running together now.
when it rebooted, i got an error that the boot image was missing. it's a software raid, so i suspect something is borked. with all the power outages lately, i wouldn't be surprised that there is some corruption going on.
i know what i have to do but i have almost zero spoons to deal with it. as a result, fyrfli.social is down for the foreseeable future.
/sigh
luckily, backups were happening as late as that morning so recovering this instance was easy to do. everything else ... not so much.
ok – so the choice is use a live CD and troubleshoot... or just move the disks into the proper server and run shit from there.
but the bff says to use the live CD first because moving the disks is going to introduce new vectors for failure which is ... not going to be good. and he is right. and i am brain foggy and probably shouldn't be in charge of anything right now.
i'll post about that hellscape in a bit.
