OVH disaster

March 14, 2021 - Reading time: 2 minutes

I just finished rebuilding the new VPS for this web server, I did not have proper backups, so I ended up using google cache to retrieve most of the old content of the blog, some lost, nowhere to be indexed, some other scrapped too  in the process (because irrelevant or a waste of time to restore). So most of it is restored from October 2019 to now, with proper dates of creation edited.

An article on the fires that destroyed two datacenters at OVH

R.I.P. the machine at OVH. I almost lost everything on the previous host because of an issue with snapshots, and I went to OVH.. but did not make proper backups  regularly.. still to this day.

PS: make backups, multiple of them, on different supports, at different locations.

On a side note, after updating Bludit, to restore the custom CodeSample menu for TinyMCE, the file bl-plugins/tinymce/tinymce/plugins/codesample/plugin.min.js need an edit for this part

[{text:"Bash / Shell",value:"shell"},{text:"INI / Configuration",value:"ini"},{text:"HTML/XML",value:"markup"},{text:"JavaScript",value:"javascript"},{text:"CSS",value:"css"},{text:"PHP",value:"php"},{text:"Python",value:"python"},{text:"Java",value:"java"},{text:"C",value:"c"},{text:".Properties",value:"properties"}]

and the Prism part is in the theme (for highlighting of code, things like that) in the css and js folder.

// Note from the future, there is now a setting in Bludit admin for TinyMCE plugin to set the CodeSample options.
