Good News For Some

Apparently Parler has just hit two million users with growth rates off the chart.  Things are a bit flaky over there right now, but they're working on it.

Meanwhile my GitLab server has died.  Don't use dynamically-sized virtual disks with VirtualBox, kids.

I'm able to get in and take a full file-level backup, so in theory I can get it back, and in practice everything in there is also in my dev folder.

Update: Holy crap, but GitLab is robust.  That system was hosed, and I expected to spend hours putting it back together and reloading the data.

Nope.  Copy /opt/gitlab and /var/opt/gitlab over to a new Ubuntu instance, add the necessary entries to /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and run gitlab-ctl reconfigure and it scans and fixes everything automatically.

It was so easy that I'm going to do it a second time and move it all over to Ubuntu 20.10 and ZFS.
