Move database to new server

[jilltxt]

Options the IT department recommend:

• Webhotell at UiB: https://webhotell.w.uib.no/webhotell-tilbudet-ved-uib/egendriftede-løsninger/
• UH-IaaS som er en sektortjeneste som blir tilbudt til UH-sektoren https://it.uib.no/UH-IaaS
• Virtual server at UiB: https://it.uib.no/Virtuell_server - Michael Eric Menk skriver "Programvaren som kjøres for Drupal 8 hos oss er RHEL7 og NGINX/PHP7. Trafikk har, i motsetning til AWS, ingen kostnad (/inkludert i prisen). Dere er da ansvarlig for å holde programvaren oppgradert.

Another possibility is Norstore.

@steinmb, can you please see which of these will work best?

Classic LAMP stack for Drupal 9

• 8GB server memory (if all services are running on same installation)
• PHP 8
• PHP minimum memory 256MB
• Mariadb/Mysql with PHP support.
• A webservice like Apache/Nginx with PHP support
• Git and composer installed
• ssh access
• SSL cert. for custom domain: machine-vision.net - Currently using https://letsencrypt.org/

I think this would be a OK starting point.

Webhotellet har også mulighet for å svare på eksterne (ikke-uib) domenenavn av typen [nettstednavn].no, [nettstednavn].com osv. Eksterne domenenavn må skaffes og betales av brukeren selv. SSL sertifikat er i utgangspunktet ikke mulig å få på eksterne domenenavn. Vi anbefaler derfor å lage en redirigering fra det eksterne domenavnet til nettstedsnavn.h.uib.no som har SSL støtte.

If this is the case, then we cannot use it.

virtual server Disk: kun plass til OS, disk til data og applikasjon må kjøpes separat`

Old school way of running stuff and note, we have to make sure we order and pay for storage area. We do not need much but still.

UH-IaaS

Unable to find an existing PHP service in the stack but I'll try to contact UiB about it.

Thanks for following up on this, @steinmb! So maybe Virtual server (we can pay, that's fine) or possibly UH-IaaS then?

[steinmb]

I think the classical virtual server is the best fit for us, though I have been in contact with IT and waits more tech. specs on the IaaS.

https://www.sigma2.no/ never came back to me if we could move it there. Followed up on my req. multiple times but no response.

UiB no longer provides virtual servers. The only option now is UH-IaaS. We have to requisition a setup here: https://nettskjema.no/a/iaas-project#/page/1
I took a look, but I think it's best you do this, @steinmb, as there is quite a bit of technical info needed.

Here is more info: http://docs.uh-iaas.no
