Site move

2 Replies

Just moved this site to a larger VPS. If you can see this message you’re visiting the new host so the migration was clearly a success!

It should also be accessible over IPv6, although this has yet to be tested.

    Could be wrong, but I think you need to set up a DNS record for the ipv6 root of your website.

    Navigating to http://[2a00:1a48:7804:110:b423:b4f7:ff08:1396]/ returns nothing for me.

      Thanks for the comment, yes you’re correct that this is not working. I don’t think a AAAA record for the domain root is necessarily required for blog to work but it should certainly have one and that was an oversight.

      The real problem is that I haven’t been able to test it properly, as my home network’s ipv6 is currently broken despite working during ipv6 week earlier in the year. Compounding this is my lack of time to sit down and fix it :)
