I'm feeling a bit better now.

So here's the status of things:

I re-installed e5 with it's now fully fixed disk array etc. It's running a
pretty boring ubuntu install (18.10). This will make it easy to manage.

I redirected download./enlightenment.org dns to point here and set up just
enough of the system to manage this. The reason was that people wwere unable to
ssh to the current download and thus I really saw the best way to fix this was
to move it. I couldn't do anything about the e6 instance so this was the
best/fastest fix.

In addition this is part of a long term move to move everything back over. e5
is not fully set up at this point. I'm being slow and careful. I don't intend
to have any core services run in vm's to keep things simple. It's a regular
multiple hosted sites on a single system setup. /etc is managed by etckeeper so
all changes are tracked in a local git to make it easy to track what changes
and when. I'm keeping the systems simple because it's so much easier to manage
when you aren't full-time administering it. It's old school and simple. It
worked for many years before we went all into VM's and that has not proven to
be better IMHO due to experience. Keeping it simple also means it should be
easy to move/migrate as all data/config will be accounted for in limited
places. e5 will be plenty powerful enough (it's a 2 CPU, 8 core xeon with 48gb
RAM and > 1TB of disk space total) if we aren't running builds on it all day.
We aren't going to run out of RAM or disk space or even CPU if we aren't
artificially limiting it per VM.

I haven't set things up like automatic user account setup/maintenance yet, thus
why I have manually added access as needed. It's spread around a few people
(all those with access have been told and your ssh key's set up). You all also
have sudo access, so I'm trying to spread the access around.

So for now for releases - you can ssh to e5.enlightenment.org or
download.enlightenment.org and presto.

Long term I want to slowly move over services one at a time. I want to keep the
system as simple as possible. This for now means these are the things that need
to move over, and probably in this order:

* download (DONE)

* www+docs
* phab+git+lists+smtp (probably need to move together)
* extra
* devs (this is the one case where i think we should have a vm or container)
* ssl+vpn+build (i am not sure we even use any of these... builds are on
travis now)

Any move of these means interruption of those services at that time. I
definitely didn't want to move anything during a major release effort. I also
didn't want to move more complex stuff until I have a large chunk of time
available to troubleshoot. I'd dearly love to have helping hands with this too
so multiple eyeballs help not miss things or discover faults in the move faster.

So that's the status and at least how I see things working. Any
insights/suggestions/ideas ... do say.
