@mastohost Hi there!

Could you start an instance from a backup? Scaleway just ate my server.

@mastohost Hmm. I'll have to get it upgraded first, then. Thanks for the info!

@mastohost I believe the last version we were running was 2.3.0.

@mastohost I'm totally game-- and I'd be happy to send some extra cash your way for the effort. :D

How would you like to proceed?

@mastohost All media storage totals up to probably something just short of 2GB uncompressed, but I suspect that's mostly cached public images from other instances; I was using Amazon S3 for image hosting. BTW-- can I keep hosting my own images off-site? It's not a dealbreaker if no, but It'd be neat to keep all the images live. ^^

Yes, I can host it on my house server for HTTPS download.

My pg_dump is just a .sql file; 297MB uncompressed.

The whole thing's in a tgz file that's 1.6GB i size.

@mastohost I'd have to import the existing dump to a new Postgres server so I can dump it back out again in the requested format. I should be able to do that.
