Server migration has been finished about two weeks ago with the last step of changing the e-mail server .
Sorry, I missed to inform further, being more busy getting used to this new environment (which I still am not familiar with).
Yesterday (maybe until today) there was just one last hickup from the migration. The domain sangham.net was suspended for a short time, because the domain transfer had still to be confirmed by Upasika Sophorn, being the official "holder", of which I had not informed her earlier, not knowing it clearly myself.
But the issue was quickly resolved with Sophorn's help. Sadhu!

Now, big file uploads, up to 100MB, should be working.

FTP accounts, I will add soon.

Not something urgent! Just that not getting lost. (hmm... ftp access)

Atma came across that the size of medias upload-able via media manager seems to be limited to 2MB and it might be that it is a php setting according to dokuwiki info: https://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:uploadsize

My person also didn't see the usual delete option in the media manager for existing media files.

Currently, the next more complicated step still not finished is moving the e-mail server while keeping all the old accounts intact.

It is a bit time-consuming. And a logicistical problem, to keep it running smoothly most of the time, possibly for a short period using both servers.
Probably it would be necessary to set new passwords for all e-mail addresses.

I will try to figure out and send a message to all accounts about coming changes. Might take still a few days to set it all up.

Quoted from other topic , linking all together, just to bring it back here to the origin.

_/\_ _/\_ _/\_

Actually, the "merge" would be the last step in the whole server migration .

Just to make a bit clearer what is supposed to happen here:

The forum is now already moved to http://forum.sangham.net (as people will have noticed when visiting here) and hosted on the new server.

The idea of the "merge", as suggested by Bhante, is to make the DokuWiki (currently at http://accesstoinsight.eu , and currently still on the old server) the primary focus of the Sangha's domain here, and move it to http://sangham.net .
The forum will then just have a "secondary" place here, now already on the subdomain forum.sangham.net .

Then there are ideas about connecting the two more: making it possible to start a forum discussion from a DokuWiki page, to archive old forum discussions into the DokuWiki...
But these are for now just ideas, not with a complete concept yet.
The main idea is just to more emphasize the focus of this domain as a working place for puñña and Dhammadana, where discussion should better be more linked to the "place of work"/kammathana maintained in the DokuWiki for the Sangha.

_/\_ _/\_ _/\_

Then there were also ideas about a Sangham messenger, making it possible to have communications with the same convenience of WhatsApp and Telegram properly within the domain of the Sangha, and also what software to possibly use for that. I think that would surely be possible with the new server. Not sure how quickly to do.

*  As brother Vivek had mentioned some vaguely similar ideas and suggestions , he might be interested, at least technically, as a learner in this "profession", to hear about how it works. Not asking for help (which would not be really possible). Just to inform.

Sadhu. I had similar thoughts, so am glad to hear confirmation of my opinion that approval from Microsoft, Google & Co. is not so much needed.
I just thought, good to preserve whatever possibilities existed on the old servers, including e-mail, which I think is useful to have for the Sangha in its own domain.

So I will try to start to switch e-mail service over to the new server as soon as possible, maybe already this evening. It needs some overlay time, a while where both servers will still work for sending, and to give notice to all e-mail users that server settings will change soon etc., as well as set up some forwarding for the interim time from the old to the new.

Anumodana mailing list is also alomst finished to revive now. A small internal "campaign" of sending and answering / marking as "not spam" of e-mails by active participants in the forum might help a bit without much "fight" or harm, and maybe also useful to transport the message that new server is being used from now on / soon.

As long as being in Phnom Penh this all seems to be a good use of the time.
Now going with Bang Sophorn to meet Pou Vithou for talking about visa matters.

As for a quite place, sure the Ashram is perfect, maybe 110W Solar panel needed to run a normal laptop long time. Connection is mostly fast.

My person is not sure in how far the knowledge-able Venerables are interested in assistance, quite withdrawn from world and philosophical hypocrisy, but my person has the feeling that Bhante Ariyadhammika is one who can gain certain Vision (has not fallen into certain modern delusions), might have touched the spirit of the Buddhas disciples, and maybe willing to assist for the long term existance of the Savaka Sangha. It's possible good if Nyom ask's personally, direct, for assistance to errect a suiteable dwelling and "social-system" for the Sangha in modern world. Bhante Subhuti Subharo, next to him, but also there Ven. Abbot might be able to grasp the Vision rightly, in accordiance with the Dhamma-Vinaya and it's aim, willing to leave home and stands behind.

If there are ways to come to an account on sanghan.net, Atma actually sees no reason for the need of own email adress. What for? And if there would be need to correspond outside, devoted lay people could deliver messages.

There had been also ideas that a certain sub-forum might function as a income place for mails.

Sadhu, Sadhu but may Nyom focus on arrive and slow down fist.

Email: honestly, if people are wished to be caught in the prisons of industry, then they should so. As my person always says, one has to leave home or palace first to get Dhamma know. No need to join the war or get much in trade.

Atma thinks that if all is nearly an intranet, it's also well.

It's like at the Ashram here. It's no lose (for those on path) that there is just a small path and so it's actually no lose for the Sangha to get cut off.

Good how ever, if Nyom wins some distance to the internet realm and endless tasks fist.

Apart from that, I am now going to re-install web server software on the new server now (using nginx instead of apache, which seems better to me). So zugangzureinsicht.org might not be reachable for a short time.

And for finally moving the accesstoinsight.eu and sangham.net websites to the new servers I am going to then also prepare everything already. But the final move should better be made when being more "settled" here and forseeable having time to deal with possible unexpected troubles. (Also, I think the "auth-codes" for moving the domains are probably already expired, and would need to be asked for another time from Greensta. Still time, better to do that when Bang Sophorn is back in Austria.)

If having more similar quiet time like now I think lots of other useful things could be done here. :)

The time before travelling was too busy to get much done.
And most time was wasted setting up an e-mail server, which turns out to be the most difficult to maintain by oneself. Mostly just because large e-mail providers like to keep their dominance, and nowadays it is not easy for a small self-maintained e-mail server to get "trusted".
Mail configuration is mostly set up and configured with all settings correct on the new server.

For now, the server is set up to send and receive e-mails from ...@zugangzureinsicht.org (which is totally moved from Greensta to Hetzner for now), maybe the "least important" of the three domains dedicated for the Sangha.
One thing I forgot was the Anumodana mailing list. It is lost now, but could be set up again, with the same "mailman" software, or maybe something similar.

I think it would be good to use the new e-mail server for e-mails from ...@sangham.net and ...@accesstoinsight.eu as well to have everything maintained in one place again. But, as mentioned, the difficulty is in getting the e-mail server "trusted" by the large providers so that it will not land all automatically in spam for recipients using GMail, Outlook, Hotmail, AOL, ... I have read a lot about it and set up everything that should be required. But large providers give no transparency how they come up with their "trust". Reading experiences from others with the same headaches, it seems, things generally get better as soon as there is some e-mail traffic with some "positive engagement", i.e. recipients marking messages as "not spam" (of course they would first need to look in "spam" to find it), maybe even adding to "known contacts" or similar, possibly replying back and forth a few times, etc... Then the mail servers of large e-mail providers with their machine learning algorithms "learn" slowly to trust this new unknown server as not being a spammer.

Having tested the same setup for a different own domain and server, I have had some seemingly good success with getting e-mails from there trusted by GMail at least. So I think, with a small "engagement campaign" here, with some people here helping by marking as "not spam", replying etc., the same success could be achieved for the new server using mails ...@zugangzureinsicht.org, ...@sangham.net etc.

Maybe best to revive the Anumodana mailing list for that as a first step, using the new server, and add recipients known from the Forum who would mark them as "not spam" etc. I would make a new topic for that as soon as having set up the mailing list again and before sending out the first "Anumodana" from there.

As it just came to mind, that Nyom Moritz once mentioned a web tool "kamboja.js ", althought not even know what it is and it's use, just remembering the meaning of "Kampuchea " (kamma pūjā, (obtained by own) deeds of effort/sacrifices), Atma thought to relink it in this topic so that found again if any need for such.

Thanks for making aware, Bhante.
Not quite sure how this happened. (But I have an idea: maybe a mistake while setting up e-mail server caused it.)

For now, it should be fixed.

I was hoping to be finished with all the preparations for a smooth transition of the other domains, and all software, like e-mail etc., ready and running, before coming to Cambodia.
Not sure now if I will be able to do everything in time. Especially e-mail is more tricky than thought. (But looks like almost done now.)
Possibly, reverting all back to Greensta managed hosting may in the end be the safer solution. (This could be done quite quickly and simply still until March.)

But for now, I remain hopeful that I can still prepare everything necessary on the new server so that the final move could be done from Cambodia with a few simple steps. At least on Sunday I should have a full free day for that.
We will see.

Hoping it might not stress much, Nyom Moritz . It looks like zugangzueinsicht.org is at least temporary gone currently.
