WebFaction goes dark on Wednesday.  All data will be lost.  I think we have everything we want safely saved on the new nublado but want to review this.

Here are the contents of the webapps directory on WebFaction:
drwxr-sr-x   5 gary gary 158 Nov  2 19:54 trac
drwxr-sr-x   3 gary gary  97 Feb  6  2020 viewvc

drwxr-xr-x+  6 gary gary 114 Oct 26  2016 svn_cloudy
drwxr-xr-x+  6 gary gary 114 Oct 26  2016 svn_cloudy_mirror
drwxr-xr-x   2 gary gary  10 Oct 26  2016 svn_openserverport
drwx--x--x   5 gary gary 170 Oct 26  2016 gitweb
drwxrwxr-x+  7 gary gary 190 Jan 23  2014 svn_bauman

The svn sites have been dumped and saved in several places.  Here are the contents of webapps/data_area/svn_dump on nublado"

-rw-r--r--. 1 gary gphyastnubladovm        410 Dec  4 11:16 readme.md
-rw-r--r--. 1 gary gphyastnubladovm        325 Dec  2 20:37 MD5.md
-rw-r--r--. 1 gary domain_users     2156492232 Dec  2 15:17 20_12_02_svn_cloudy_reference.dump.xz
-rw-r--r--. 1 gary domain_users      440794336 Nov 20 14:53 20_11_04_svn_papers.dump.xz
-rw-r--r--. 1 gary domain_users     2153573428 Nov 20 14:53 20_11_04_svn_cloudy.dump.xz
-rw-r--r--. 1 gary domain_users        1480548 Nov 20 14:52 20_11_04_svn_bauman.dump.xz
-rw-r--r--. 1 gary domain_users        3745224 Nov 20 14:52 20_11_04_svn_atomic_data.dump.xz

The 20_11_04_svn_???_dump.xz files are the last svn dump on webfaction and 20_12_02_svn_cloudy_reference.dump.xz is the dump of our read-only reference svn store that was used for the tip migration to git.  I have these set up on an active apache svn on an ubuntu box I run here so know that these work.

The data_area folders on nublado started as a straight copy of the folders on WebFaction.  Here is a comparison of sizes:

WebFaction: 
5.7G data_area/
nublado:
11G data_area/ 

nublado has the svn dump files so is larger..

I *think* everything is saved.  Please think about this.  There is no going back after Wednesday.  Although the password for WebFaction has changed several times, as various entities examined its contents, all pub keys are still there.  If you ever had a pub key you should be able to ssh in and have a look around.

Is there anything I have missed?

thanks,
Gary
