Server update: files.pharo.org on November, 13th
by Christophe Demarey Nov. 7, 2024

Nov. 7, 2024

Hi, We would like to inform you that we are currently setting up a new server to host Pharo files. Indeed, our current server reached its maximal storage capacity (500 GB) and we need to move it to another provider. The Pharo file server is used: - to publish new Pharo images and Virtual machines, - host Pharo Launcher files, - deliver Pharo images and Virtual machines for Pharo Launcher and zero-conf scripts, - and some other use cases. Next Wednesday, November, 13th, from 8am to 11am UTC: https://files.pharo.org will not be available! This shutdown is needed so that we can change the DNS to point to the new server, issue a new SSL certificate for this new server and some other actions. The new server may be put on line earlier if possible. Regards, The Pharo team.
