What to expect for V3 - posted 2 days, 4 hours ago
As it stands, I am nearing completion of V3 of our beloved Gazelle site, and boy is it fast. It is running on entirely new hardware and software - a complete revamping of everything under the hood. There are still a few bugs to be worked out (*cough* logchecker *cough*), but I have written a 2000-line .sql file that should handle migrating all the data without error (I just finished testing it). Below are some things you should be aware of:
1. The URL of the site will change.
- I have not decided what this will be yet, but it will most likely be a subdomain, i.e. blah.lztr.us. There will no longer be www.lztr.us/gazelle/. The entire site will be updated accordingly.
- Why is this important? It will make navigation a lot easier, and will remove the annoying /gazelle/ in the URL.
2. Your announce URL will not change.
- This is key, because I don't want everyone to have to change every single torrent they are seeding.
2. announce链接不会变
- 这是你的密钥,我不希望每个人都要一个个地去改这个链接。
3. There will be offline time.
- As you can imagine, the migration is not easy, and it requires that I make sure there is no data loss. This requires a full dump of the database to a migration DB, altering it, then inserting it into the new machine. This process will most likely take a few hours to complete.
4. Keep your torrents alive.
- It is very important that you keep your torrents alive so that when things do go back online and the tables are refreshed, ocelot will pick you up as a seeder.
4. 保持做种
- 当站点重新上线,做种页面刷新的时候,你在做种的种子会直接显示你在做种。
5. Site-wide FL
- When the new server does stretch her legs, I will make sure there will be a site-wide FL to celebrate.
