Edit: we are back online for now. Files are not in danger, we have daily backups. It’s a problem with the host. We’re exploring our options. Switching hosts is not super easy when it comes to VPS and it’s hard to find one that’s as cost-effective as what we had.
This was not planned but it’s nothing worrying. I will hold off on providing more information until we can say so for sure. Don’t know when the website will be back but hopefully it shouldn’t be too long. We’re not going anywhere!
Right after USAID got gutted huh
We’re gonna keep saying this for years aren’t we? 😂
hahaha
if you keep the joke going too long wisconcom will really think we’re usaid funded
then we must absolutely keep this gag going

It’s pretty damn easy if you have everything set up decoratively. With NixOS for example all you would have to do is run one command to install everything you need (mediawiki, an sql server, nginx etc and their configurations), and you will have the same setup within a half hour. The most difficult part would be to copy over your state (data) but literally using scp and then manually fixing the permissions has always worked for me. PM me if you guys need help with NixOS if you go that route.
Or idk, go for some kind of containerized setup, but then you’d still have to setup the host, and the container isn’t reproducible, it can go out of date, idk I’m less of a fan.
