Ok, let's consider this maintenance done. Some cached media attachments are still missing, and it will take a while for them to be re-downloaded and re-cached. Everything else appears to work correctly.

Still working out missing/cached media attachments. These are for avatars/headers and the media posted by other people. The cleanup and re-caching this stuff takes a while.
Other than that, some quirks around the Streaming API remain, but they shouldn't be a concern.
On track to finish within 20 minutes.

So far, so good.
DB restore is progressing nicely.
Performing some extra maintenance tasks (removing orphaned cached media, generating feeds, etc).
The site is mostly usable at this point, although there's still a bunch of missing avatars/media. Working on this!

Snapshot of the current state of Lounge.town has been created successfully.
DB is being restored to the new host, this process could take up to an hour (probably, less)
The site https://lounge.town may be up at this point, but it's not fully functional yet.

DB dump was successful. Now making backup copies of the DB (will remove them after the migration).
Stopping current server and making a snapshot of it: I'll use this snapshot to recover the pre-maintenance state if things go wrong.

During this maintenance, Lounge.town will be unavailable. After the maintenance is complete, you may receive a few delayed notifications, but aside from this, it should all work just as before.
