Change wishlist for 3-23 to 3-30

• Update from PHP 8.1.2 to 8.2.X (Weekend.)
• OPcache tuning. MediaWiki is specific about this. (Last.)
• Cancelled: Update nginx from 1.18.x to 1.24.x (1.18 LTS is preferable. See notes on 24.04(+) migration.)
• Implement & customize nginx maintenance mode for automatic handling of downtime events. (Test on sandbox server.)
• TLS & SSL tweaking + session caching. (SSLLabs)
• MariaDB tuning & KeyDB (testing). (See Redis-MediaWiki support notes.)
• Experimentation with memcached strategies. (See above.)

3-24 notes

• Added Semantic MediaWiki 5.0.0
• Mostly combing through fail2ban, authentication methods, ssh tunneling, port & address assignments, proxy servers, websockets, nginx in all that, etc.

3-25

• Extremely important change in the works. (SUCCESS)
• Preparing for backup and update push.
• Websockets & proxy servers up and running! GoAccess and Netdata now have custom authenticated URLs. This removes the overt preference for SSH tunnels.
• The above allows focusing on real-time tests and less juggling specific service management. The analytics situation just got much easier to deal with.

I need a week to review network traffic and the technical terms surrounding it.
