CHG-2018-01-03 migrate fef to hetzner2

Status

2017-12-21

Catarina validated the ephemeral clone of the existing site running as staging on hetzner 2. She approved downtime for the migration on 2018-01-03 12:00 ET, followed by a 1 week content freeze.

Purpose

This change does the following for fef

1. entirely migrate the 'fef' wordpress site from hetzner1 (shared hosting) to hetzner2 (dedicated hosting)
2. changes the domain from 'http://opensourceecology.org/fef/' to 'https://fef.opensourceecology.org'
3. update core wp from v4.2.18 to v4.9.1
4. changes the docroot to a subversion repo of the wp codebase, making it easier to update in the future without sacrificing security (ie: permitting wordpress to update itself) for ease-of-use
5. updates the vhost config to block access to svn files, and more generally: ".*\.(svn|git|hg|bzr|cvs|ht)/.*"
6. update plugin 'akismet' from v3.1.5 to v4.0.1
7. update plugin 'cyclone-slider-2' from v2.10.0 to 3.2.0
8. install & activate plugin 'google-authenticator' to provide 2FA
9. install & activate plugin 'google-authenticator-encourage-user-activation' to require users to use 2FA
10. install & activate plugin 'force-strong-passwords' to prevent users from using a poor password, as determined by the built-in wp core password strength feature
11. install & activate plugin 'rename-wp-login' to obfuscate the wordpress login page (reduces server load & alert emails from HIDS blocking brute force attempts)
12. install & activate plugin 'vcaching' so wordpress & varnish communicate to clear the cache when needed
13. updates the vhost config to block all access to ".*wp-login.php"
14. enable https via nginx
15. enable cache via varnish
