Can you help move the forum / Phaser site?

Published on 11th April 2019

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post this message to Patrons first, as I'm sure there are some reading this who are skilled in this particular area and may be able to take on the work.

I need two people to help do the following (I'm willing to pay for your time of course, I don't expect this for free!)

1) Move the HTML5 Game Devs Forum to a new server. I'd like to move it to a Digital Ocean VM. I can give you access to the current server of course, but would need the new one configuring and the forum installed on there (or perhaps just moved and then upgraded). The biggest challenge is going to be the SSL certificate, because it currently shares a wildcard cert with Phaser and some other sites. So we'll need to figure out a way around that.

2) Upgrade the Phaser site from Laravel 4.2 (yes, really) to the latest release. The site is extremely simple re: code, just a handful of components, lots and lots of routes and basically just a huge pile of markdown content. I'm not interested in recoding it at this stage, I just want it running on its own instance on Digital Ocean. I've got a Laravel Forge account (again, linked to Digital Ocean) that I'd like to use for this too. As with the forum, the issue I think will be the SSL cert that it currently shares.

If you've got the time and skills to help with either of these then please email rdavey@gmail.com with an idea of the cost. I'm looking for two different people, one for each task, so I can get them both done at the same time. I'm pretty sure that quite a large number of you are capable of doing this work, so please don't be offended if I end-up picking someone else!
