My Matrix server is on Oracle Cloud. At one point, while messing with something on it, I accidentally enabled the firewall for port 22, so I can no longer access it via SSH. I think I also disabled password login, as I cannot log in over Oracle's remote terminal service. Also, the backups had filled up the drive space without me noticing, so it hadn't made backups in six months. Yes, I'm dumb.
At this point, I've given up hope for recovering the data on the server, but I would prefer to keep as much as I can when making a new server. The information online about making a new server on the same domain all involves copying over some data from the old server, so is it possible to keep the domain name when making a new server? It seems that it is not possible to make a new account with the same name on the same domain because it messes with federation, so I will need a new account name. Is that all correct?
My current plan is this:
Does this all seem like it would work, and is there a better solution? Thank you for the help.
Edit: What I ended up doing was this:
