Documenting my steps. First we need to redirect certificate authentications to the new server:

ansible-playbook --vault-password-file ~/.ansible-vault-password --extra-vars "@../ofn-secrets/fr-prod/secrets.yml" -l fr-prod playbooks/letsencrypt_proxy.yml -e "proxy_target=51.38.38.32"

Then we can change the hosts config file to the new IP address. I also added a swap file. Then provision the new server:

ansible-playbook --vault-password-file ~/.ansible-vault-password --extra-vars "@../ofn-secrets/fr-prod/secrets.yml" -l fr-prod site.yml

The first time you run the provisioning there's always an issue with brotli and nginx. I did two things to resolve this:

  1. I installed libgd-dev to compile brotli.
  2. I ran the nginx install first (with -t nginx) which fails but then brotli can be installed successfully and after that this works.

This happens with every new server but I never took the time to find an automated solution.

I also had to install db integrations separately:

ansible-playbook --vault-password-file ~/.ansible-vault-password --extra-vars "@../ofn-secrets/fr-prod/secrets.yml" -l fr-prod playbooks/db_integrations.yml

I used steps described in https://github.com/openfoodfoundation/ofn-install/issues/775#issuecomment-1181392722 to activate maintenance mode and copy the database. I encountered #819 but could work around it. Another important detail: clear the cache after the database import.

# ./bin/rails console
Rails.cache.clear
