upgrade samarium from precise to jessie
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Samarium was purchased 1/2013 so it probably won't make the priority list for hardware replacement before precise's EOL, so let's upgrade the OS before hardware replacement in this case.

Notes for upgrade:

  • samarium gets very little traffic, maybe 10 legit hits per day
  • there's a puppetized cron doing banner snapshots
  • IRC bot 'slander' does fundraising log notifications [needs systemd init]
  • /srv/* has crufty report data that is deployed from boron [just redeploy]
  • Jenkins job "Samarium Data Mover" on barium and scp/rsync stuff back and forth
  • /var/banner contains banner screenshot history [already preserved in archive]
  • /var/www has some stuff to preserve
