Maintenance of openwrt.org and CDN for downloads

[Paul Spooren]

Hi all,

Instead of upgrading just the wiki, I decided to replace the VM by a faster setup including newer PHP versions, an NVME and much more.

This took a bit longer than expected due to the nature of dependency tracking of Dokuwiki plugins, but a curious experience compared to JavaScript package managers…

Please report on issues and problems, ideally only to the openwrt-adm list.

Thanks everyone for using OpenWrt!

Best,
Paul

In case you urgently need to lookup information, please use the staging instance during the maintenance[1].

I’m not expecting any downtime since the CDN already works for a staging domain[2]. If things break, please use on of the many mirrors[3] in the meantime.
