We have frpig1001 built and puppetized with Debian Stretch, and the next step before we swap it for thulium is to test smashpig on the newer PHP7 etc. stack.
- install OS and codebase
- configure with test-* queues
- test internally
- configure external network and DNS
- test each payment provider via their test API
- test fundraising.wikimedia.org functionality
- security testing
- reconfigure to 'real' queues
- configure monitoring
- adjust networking to swap for thulium
