SUBJECT: A new home for WolfMUD
   DATE: Mon 14 Dec 01:59:13 GMT 2020

If you are reading this post then welcome to WolfMUD’s new home :)

WolfMUD is now running on its own dedicated server. Previously the WolfMUD
site and Git repositories were hosted on my employer’s server. Having started
a new job recently it was time to find alternative hosting. Of course, I had
to make things a little harder for myself in the process. I changed the server
architecture from Intel to Arm and everything is accessible via IPv4 and IPv6
for the first time.

Everything should have gone live around 5pm. I pushed the big red button, and
ended up with a broken site for about four hours ;( The issue was of my own
making. I’d copied and cribbed the configuration from the current setup. This
left the webserver only configured for IPv4. When IPv6 traffic hit the server
HTTPS requests were coming in on port 80 instead of 443 — what!? This left me
scratching my head for ages.

I’ve been monitoring the server for a while. Bots, spiders and web-crawlers
have already found the new server — so everything appears to be running.

If you find or have any issues please let me know: diddymus@wolfmud.org

Now it’s late… goodnight ¦| zzzZZZ
