Migrate our Dream Objects storage account
@vmatekole brought this to my attention on our riot.im channel: "Some migration work is required on DO, I can assist with this but would like a coordinator to plan things out and handle communication."
We use Dream Objects to store the media for our mastodon server. Maybe for backups too, later.
Seems like it needs to be done on a similar timescale to our server re-hosting, i.e. by the end of September.
Hi!
As you’ve heard by now, DreamHost has launched a faster, better DreamObjects cloud storage cluster in Ashburn, Virginia. At the same time, we are in the process of decommissioning our legacy DreamObjects cluster in Irvine, California.
This is a reminder that you have until October 1st, 2018 to migrate your data to our new DreamObjects cluster in Ashburn, Virginia.
If you have already begun (or even completed) migrating your data, you can safely ignore this reminder. Thank you!
If you’ve yet to begin, here’s what you need to know!
Getting Started
We’ve put together some great documentation that will explain in detail exactly what you’ll need to do to move your data from Irvine, CA to Ashburn, VA. We’ve even made a migration tool available that’ll help you power through the process!
If you’d prefer that we handle the legwork and migrate data on your behalf, we’d be happy to! Because every account is different, we can work with you to ensure your migration is a smooth and painless process. Please reach out to our technical support team to schedule a time to discuss and begin the migration if you’d like our help.

October 1, 2018 - The Final Shutdown!
Remember, your existing buckets and data in Irvine will remain live and accessible until October 1st. After that, any data remaining on our Irvine DreamObjects cluster will be permanently inaccessible. If that’s not what you want, now’s your chance to do something about it!
If you’ve got any questions about any of this, or would like to schedule a time to work with our Support team to migrate your data, please don’t hesitate to reach out! We’re looking forward to heading east with you. After all, Virginia is for lovers (and object storage clusters)!
