Maltfield: created log for 2019 quarter 1

2019-01-26T20:43:27Z

created log for 2019 quarter 1

New page

My work log from the year 2019 Quarter 1. I intentionally made this verbose to make future admin's work easier when troubleshooting. The more keywords, error messages, etc that are listed in this log, the more helpful it will be for the future OSE Sysadmin.

# I logged into the server and found that the backup was currently uploading today's nightly backup to backblaze b2
# The logs are being hella spammed with the upload progress bar (the backup log containing just today's backup was already 14M), so I updated the backup.sh script to use the --noProgress argument.

# I renamed the /root/backups/backup.sh script to be 'backup.old.20180115.sh' and I renamed backup2.sh to be 'backup.sh'
# I also renamed /etc/cron.d/backup_to_dreamhost to be 'backup_to_backblaze'
# The above has the effect of disabling backups being sent to dreamhost. All backups will now only go to backblaze b2 going forward.

# checked backblaze wui
## total size of bucket is currently 157.7G
## I confirmed that th yearly backup file exists at 17.5G = yearly_hetzner2_20190101_111520.tar.gpg
## I checked our billing; in all of 2018 it was $0.02. In 2019, it's $0.63 so far in 2019. (which is actually the billing period between Dec 16 through Jan 10).
### I should do a test downloading the 2019-01-01 file and document the process (with screenshots) on our wiki after 2019-01-17--since we get a free quota of downloads once per month, and I used some of it for testing/documenting the download process via the cli in this billing period (which cost $0.61 to do)
