It's valid to store uploaded files in NFS, but not good idea to serve these files in multiple concurrent clients through NFS mount. So he will still need to run Nginx in the NFS server. Also what happens if the NFS is up but the Nginx / PHP server can't contact it during a file upload because of network issue? The database will have an entry for a file that doesn't exist.
It's better he gets a VPS to run Nginx / PHP / MariaDB / Mail and use a second VPS with same specs from other provider to duplicate his setup. Then create a script that rsync files / e-mails / sql dump every few hours to second VPS and in the case he has troubles with the primary VPS it would take less than an hour to restore everything in the secondary VPS.
Also before any major system upgrade taking a VPS snapshot is essential.
Yes, this is the incompetent part, not the scripting error.
sigh you're doing it wrong.
I'm curious whether OP is on salary or hourly. Surely, just this thread alone would have long blown through $80 in labour, let alone the actual work that needs to be done.
@MagniPhiCat
Are you just eating all these hours researching and doing stuff you're not experienced with or are you billing per hour and billing way higher than $80/mo?
I know, I know.
I know the initial password.
I know the password before the migration.
I don't know the password after migration.
Neither password that I know works.
Password reset form does not send email to me.
What am I doing wrong, other than accepting a free server from a bad provider?
Well I think the op is gone but updated the title to reflect. Nexusbytes had nothing to do with the op messing up the server.
@PieHasBeenEaten do you mind checking if srch07 and MagniPhiCat are alts?
The word is advice.
I'd also like to add, the op admitted from the outset they messed up. It has never been about might have made a mistake or advice on the mistake itself. So the new title is also inaccurate
They came here seeking resources on VLAN creation, shared storage options, and separating out their server into separate servers.
Indeed, the title should be: "I need advice! I messed something up"
Alternatively (and a bit more specifically): "I need advice! I messed up my server"
Also, should be "might have" - couldn't see the wood for the trees.
Hassle the bad provider and make him give you a new password. They're on LET, no? As a user of a free service, it's your duty to report their fuckups and have them fix it and be better. That's the deal, your QA for free service.
That's not how LET works...
We don't contact providers - we create posts on here and let the other members on the forum @ the providers guess what we are looking for.
I wrote in their thread and I'm told to use the reset password form, which does not work.

This... this is what I fear and exactly why I run to docker whenever possible.
