[NOTICE] Server Migrations to improve the stability of our services

Greetings,

For months the server responsible for maintaining most of our services (Steem Ways, Steem Seven project, Make Noise) had been presenting failures that became more and more frequent, they consisted of the server restarting without prior notice and all the processes that were in it stopped.

This was very annoying because in the most unpredictable way possible everything stopped working and I had to enter as quickly as possible to reactivate everything. The error was escalating and there were occasions where the server was unreachable for a few hours, or its Internet connection was not stable and caused various restarts that accumulated in the Bots and caused excessive consumption of resources.

A few days ago the server presented the failure that was the straw that broke the camel's back, my SSH access code stopped working completely, so it was impossible to access and monitor the processes. The database was still accessible through URL, so in this situation I decided to make a backup of everything and finally migrate the projects to another server with another provider.

As of today, 90% of our services have already been successfully migrated to the new server and I hope that this will greatly improve the stability of all these services, among the tasks performed I can highlight:

• Firewall configuration.
• Installation of Apache2, mysql, PHP.
• Installation of nodeJS and PM2.
• Testing and start-up of Steem Ways, Steem Seven, Steem Fanbase, Make Noise Bot.
• Creation of virtual sites and linking of web domains.
• Other configuration tasks.

The truth is that thanks to the experience performing all these processes was quite pleasant, most of the mistakes that you come across on the way are already solved so on rare occasions I got stuck and the whole migration was successful.

The only thing that has not yet been installed are the payment bots of Colombiaoriginal and Steem-seven, being Bots written in Python, a language with which I do not have much experience and I have had some complications establishing the virtual environments. I have not yet resolved an error that occurs when running the Bot and I am working to have them operational as soon as possible.

Although I am not an expert in Linux, my experience in Steem has made me learn to do complex things that a few years ago I did not imagine achieving, these things can happen especially when you are not the owner of the server, so it is important to always be ready to perform these migrations and keep things running in the best possible way.

I hope these changes are beneficial and help improve the stability of all the services we currently offer, thank you for the constant support and we continue working for Steem.
