Step 0. Complete backup (See https://codema.in/d/gxrI4fjN/comment/1245316) so its less risky.
Step 1: Try update locally and fix package if necessary (See https://gitlab.com/piratemovin/diasp.in/wikis/HamaraSetup)
Step 3: Do the actual update (apt-get install diaspora-installer)

@isaagar can you tell us the deadline to move? Once we fix the actual date of migration, we should post an update from our account so users get a heads up.

The steps we need to take for migration,

  1. Install debian stretch, with disk encryption. Just a way of protecting data if someone copies the disk.
  2. Copy database. Setup new machine as a slave 2.
  3. Install diaspora-installer package (TODO: I should add the latest version to my personal repo). rsync /usr/share/diaspora/public to new server.
  4. Install prosody and copy its configuration.

When we are ready to switch, shutdown current machine, make new machine (slave 2) as master for slave 1, switch DNS to new machine.
