sniff.ru/
The Juggernaut Crew party photo archive. Moving off the old platform onto Laravel: search, machine descriptions of photos, its own player.
JGNT → Laravel 12, Livewire, PostgreSQL, Docker$ stat sniff
01_problemAn archive going back to 1991 on an old CMS: galleries, people, places, mixes. All of it had to survive, addresses included.
02_howThe old tables are copied into Postgres verbatim and normalised from there. Photographs move to object storage one at a time, then ten, then in the background.
03_whyA copy that transforms nothing on the way can be re-run from scratch if anything goes wrong.
04_resultAll 429 gallery addresses match the old site. 29,317 frames and 214 people on the site.
