So I’ve finally upgraded my server to a more powerful version of a raspberry pi. The old server, a Raspberry Pi B was more than enough for basic web and gopher, and IRC and a few other things, but I wanted to run a Quake server, or a number of Quake servers and have room to expand.

That and I wanted another Raspberry Pi for the fun of it!

I copied the services accross to the new system, but neglected to configure gophernicus, which meant it was unavailable to the Internet at large for a few days… You would assume no one would notice, or care…

What I found most interesting about this process is a couple of emails from people who noted that this Gopher hole was down. I didn’t think anyone checked it! Yet only being down a few days got a couple of emails.

This is interesting because

• Gopherholes are still seen by people
• and they are seen by people who are willing to take the time to let you know of a problem.

Which made me realise that I should update this more often.

Which I will do!
