    Migration of a CentOS Linux 8.5 server to Ubuntu 24.04
    August 2025 - September 2025 (1 month)
    The mission consisted of updating a CentOS Linux 8.5 server, including PHP.

    This server is managed via the "Virtualmin" application. It hosts Wordpress sites (therefore PHP/MySQL).

    CentOS is no longer a distribution intended for production. It was therefore decided to install a new, up-to-date server and migrate the data to it.

    A new Ubuntu 24.04 server was installed. Virtualmin and the various dependencies for Wordpress were installed. Postfix was reconfigured to ensure server emails were sent correctly.

    The data was migrated to the new server.

    The reinstallation was carried out with minimal downtime.

    Reinstallation of an Ubuntu server
    July 2025 - July 2025 (1 month)
    The mission consisted of updating an Ubuntu 16.04 server to more recent versions.

    This server includes an Nginx/PHP server and a MySQL database. A up-to-date Wordpress runs on it, including the Matomo plugin.

    Ultimately, it was decided to completely reinstall the server to start from a clean slate and ensure service continuity.

    The reinstallation was carried out with minimal downtime.

    Reinstallation of two Ubuntu servers
    REAL ESTATE
    May 2024 - May 2024
    The mission consisted of updating two Ubuntu servers to more recent versions. A "staging" server and a "production" server.

    Ultimately, it was decided to completely reinstall the servers to start from a clean slate and ensure service continuity.

    The site is divided into two components:
    - an application written in Ruby
    - a Wordpress.

    The application and Wordpress were separated onto two distinct servers to better isolate the services.

    I created Ansible scripts to test the server installation in a test environment and then deploy the "staging" server. Once the procedure was validated, the production server was reinstalled as two servers.

    The services on these servers are:

    - an Nginx reverse proxy
    - Let's Encrypt certificates
    - a Ruby on Rails application
    - a Wordpress
    - an FTP server
    - a PostgreSQL server
    - a MySQL server

    The reinstallation was carried out with minimal downtime.
