on a debian mirror server somewhere in Leicestershire (we think).
This move to a different secure server means that all ssh to the server now needs to use cryptographic keys tied to individual machines. There is an expo-nerds email list (all mailing lists are now hosted on wookware.org as the university list system restricted what non-Raven-users could do) to coordinate server fettling.

<p>Sam continues to work on upgrading django from v1.7 . We are using python 2.7.17 and while we <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/python3/">could upgrade</a> to Python v3 using the same version (1.7) of django, we would rather upgrade django as much as possible first before we tackle that. Old versions of django have unpatched security issues.
<p> "Django 1.11 is the last version to support Python 2.7. Support for Python 2.7 and Django 1.11 ends in 2020." see: <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/faq/install/">django versions</a>.
