CLOUD MOVE UPDATE

by Hazed

I’ve not had anything to tell you in the past few weeks about the long-gestating move to the cloud. But now things are moving again.

The new server has a permanent IP address, and a version of Fed is up and running. It’s using data from about a month ago, but that’ll be updated when we do the proper move. You can log onto it if you want – it’ll be like stepping through a time portal. Just tell your front-end to go to this address:

178.250.53.192

Obviously, nothing you do in this version of the game is going to be saved; it’ll all be wiped when we do the final move.

The website is being set up this weekend and all of the pages from the existing web server will be copied over to the new one in the cloud.

So we really are nearly there! Unless anything goes wrong, it looks like we could actually do the move next weekend. Fingers (or equivalent) crossed.

If that does happen then I will send out a special message on the Fed2 Star mailing list, and put info on the website What’s New page, so you know what’s going on.
