RFG Backup Restore

[Tim Keller]

I found it on accident when i could not find it looking. But i found it and have sorted it accordingly its ready to be rehosted and such. Lead the way people

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

Can I have some more information on it?

• Size this will be on disk?
• Do we have a domain?
• Should we enable uploading?
• Should we just put it under img.ourl.ca?

[Tim Keller]

Its 2.5GB and about 7900 images, We do not have a domain and we have img.ourl.ca for our current uploaded (aka no uploading needed), I would suggest putting it up on its own subdomain or somethign we own and link fixing on the forum. At least this way the archives will load correctly.

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

@Sorunome Could you look into this? Since you are hosting img.ourl.ca, this should be restored to there. You can also poke me about getting ourl.ca to convert links if you'd like. This way other sites have a way to do the convert as well.

[Sorunome]

what about something like img.ourl.ca/rfg/<thatfile>

that could work easily ^.^

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

Potentially, how does the RFG url scheme work? We'd want whatever your urls are to be easy to get to from a RFG one for ourl.ca conversion.

[Sorunome]

img.removedfromgame.com/<thatfile>

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

Sounds simple enough to implement in ourl.ca's stuff then.

[Sorunome]

backups are online, time to write hte conversion script thingy, maybe convert all the [img] things in the DB and then news about it?

EDIT: gaah how do i change asignee to @eeems

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

@Sorunome to change the assignee you edit the entire task. As for the conversion script on our database that should be fairly simple with some sql. Providing a tool for others would require updating ssi_eeems and ourl.ca

[Sorunome]

so what's to do is find http://img.removedfromgame.com/<stuff> and replace with https://img.ourl.ca/rfg/<stuff>

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

A simple update with a replace should handle this in our database. I'll write something up tomorrow or tonight and update ourl.ca's conversion stuff.

[Sorunome]

I drafted a little news article togeather with sourcery of uvuntu which is IMO news-worthy: https://www.omnimaga.org/news-office/sorcery-of-uvuntu-released-rfg-images-restored/

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

Replied to the news article topic. You can probably post about Sourcery of Uvuntu separately for now. We'll post about the rfg images when we actually get the conversion script run etc.

[Sorunome]

I thought you'd just run the DB update some time today and after that the news article can be published? I made sure to not mention anything about a conversion script in the article, heehee

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

I said I'd write something, not that I'd update the database and implement it by tonight. We need to properly test this.

As for the article, I do want to mention a conversion script. That way Cemetech et al can make use of it for their conversions if they want.

[Sorunome]

alright, so i'll just post the uvuntu one now

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

@Sorunome what is the status of this issue?

[Sorunome]

ask @Geekboy1011

[KermMartian]

So, it's correct that our existing img links to http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/foo.png will become https://img.ourl.ca/rfg/imgs/foo.png ?

Edit: Turns out, no, so that replacement suggested above isn't quite right. :) For example, http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/1280448828-omnomIRC.png becomes https://img.ourl.ca/rfg/1280448828-omnomIRC.png

[Sorunome]

@KermMartian Your edit is indeed correct, http://img.removedfromegame.com/blah.png becomes https://img.ourl.ca/rfg/blah.png

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

@Geekboy1011 Poke

[Tim Keller]

Last I checked we had the images uploaded and moved to http://img.ourl.ca/rfg and we are just waiting on the old links to be converted.

[Nathaniel van Diepen]

I guess I should get around to writing the conversion script. Similar to the one we used when converting all of our old Omnimaga links.
