My WriteFreely instance (that also serves this blog) was running so far on an U7 server at the fabulous Uberspace hoster. It is now successfully migrated to U8, the latest and greatest.

This was necessary, since the WriteFreely version I was running had a nasty bug (users could be registered without consent and started spamming). On U7 WriteFreely could not be updated anymore (GLIBC 2.28 is not available for CentOS 7). So it was time to migrate to U8.

The migration turned out to be quite easy. WriteFreely posts are simple text files that can be exported and imported again. My media library is a simple folder that could be zipped and unzipped on the new instance. That's basically it.

I took the chance to adapt and extend the U7 WriteFreely guide for U8. The new version for U8 is available here.
