W0CHP.net

Update 10/7/22:

Network move complete; all systems operational.

Beginning October 5, the various resources hosted on the W0CHP.net network will experience intermittent, and some extended outages and downtime.

The network is moving to a different physical location, but will retain the same asynchronous fiber connections speeds, IPs, etc.

I anticipate the outages lasting no more than 48 hours. Once fully complete, I will update this post accordingly.

Resources that will be affected

• This very website
• Connectivity to the XLX-493 reflector/gateway and its web-based dashboard.
• The W0CHP.net Git Repositories
• The installer program for W0CHP-PiStar-Dash will not be available (hosted on the above Git repo).
• Various backend resources that enable the auto-updates to occur on W0CHP-PiStar-Dash installations.

A very nice gentleman from India, Bejoy (VU3BOJ), had contacted me recently; informing me that he was unable to access my various web resources. The poor guy was attempting to install my W0CHP-PiStar-Dash software, but to no avail.

Moreover, Bejoy mentioned that his local friends with different ISPs were also unable to access my resources. This bothered me, so I investigated.

Since 2018, I migrated all of my code and repositories from GitHub onto my own on-premise, self-hosted solution which was based on the venerable Gogs software (proxied by an Apache web server).

While my solution worked quote well for some time, I had been meaning to migrate all of my code repositories to a different back-end.
