[OHM] What needs to be done to Get OpenHistoricalMaps back online?

[Sanjay Bhangar]

Hi Tommy,

Thanks for jumping in here.

Status as I know: we had a drive die on our Hetzner box (and some errors on
the drive that worked). We pulled out what we could and backed up. I
subsequently attempted to restore the RAID, but failed since the good drive
also had errors. I then attempted a ddrescue to copy the contents of the
okay drive to a brand new drive - this completed, but with errors, and was
unable to get the drive up.

We are about to decommission the Hetzner box. I think the plan would be to
try and restore the Postgres database from the backups, and then setup the
rest of the stack. Rob Warren was trying to get the db back up - perhaps he
can update on any luck there.

Am happy to drop you the db backups if you want to give this a shot. Also
trying to hang-out on #ohm on oftc.net, if you want to try and catch up
there.

So:

 - we would need to figure out restoring the database
 - find a new host for the project
 - re-setup the stack, talking to the database.

Let me know if I can help. Thanks again for jumping in!

-Sanjay
