Lost A Day
Oops. Looks like the server died just before the daily backups, not just after. (I pasted yesterday's post in from the version I cross-posted over on Ace's blog.)
If you didn't see the notice I put up while the server was dead, well, the server died. It's up and running but all the LXC containers where the actually work happens are completely frozen, and I was worried that if I touched anything it would just get worse, so I grabbed all the backups and moved them to the new server I already had set up for that purpose.

Took about twelve hours from the old server failing to the new one being operational, but the move I've been planning for months finally happened, so there's that.
If you're missing anything major or having any other problems, please comment here.
Outage Message
Sorry, our server decided to stop serving. We have full backups from just a few hours ago and are restoring them on a new server.
Hold tight, it's just a tiny bitdifflyfiddly.
Update 1:43 AM UTC: Application container has been restored - there was an issue with the backup file and I needed to hand-edit it, but that's done and it all worked.
Database is restoring and that will likely take a couple more hours.
Update 3:54 UTC: Database container restored. Configuring things now.
Also, the database needs some repairs since it was a live snapshot.
