New server for Principia

As of writing, principia-web.se and related services has now moved to a new server. This is following some pretty serious issues I had with the previous cloud provider (which you have likely heard of if you follow the Principia Mastodon account) that required me to urgently move things elsewhere.

Previously we were hosted on a VPS in OVH's Frankfurt datacenter. Now we are with Hetzner in their Nürnberg datacenter. Things should generally be faster once I have gotten things sorted out in a couple days.

Some things like the screenshotter are not yet set up. Other than that all core functionality should be working, and let me know if something does not work anymore.

Screenshotter has been running for a while now on the new server, and everything else has otherwise been working as normal on the new server ever since I moved it.

For a post-mortem on what happened that made me switch from OVH to Hetzner, I wrote a post on my blog about it going into some more technical detail.

In the end OVH never got back to me, but they didn't end up terminating the service either (which still feels strange as I would expect some kind of email that the abuse tickets were closed). However the new VPS from Hetzner has ended up being an upgrade both in specs and the bang-for-the-buck anyway, so I don't really regret migrating over.
