Hey #bldrweb - looks like we're back online! Sorry for the downtime, the upgrade process ran smoothly, but it just took a long time to copy/move all the files.

Progress continues. #bldrweb

Hey #bldrweb - our @phanpy interface is back up and running again (it was a casualty of yesterday's upgrade misadventures). Anyone can use it, bldrweb or otherwise:

Hey #bldrweb - Seems our Mastodon server is not sending out emails (new accounts, password resets, missed notifications, etc.). I'm working on the issue, but it's a tricky one, so I'm not sure how long it'll take to resolve. Please DM or email me (thomas@bldrweb.org) if you run into issues.
January 5, 2025 at 2:42 PM
Hey again #bldrweb - I'm going to run an upgrade today to see if that fixes anything. TBD on how long this will take.
January 6, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Hey #bldrweb: I'm very sorry to share that a server upgrade earlier today failed, and I was forced to restore from a backup that had been taken earlier this morning. Any posts/messages/interactions created between approx 2AM and noon today might have been lost. Please check your toots/likes/DMs […]

#bldrweb - gotten a few upgrades and improvements implemented, but I think there's still an issue with the email. Still working on things.
January 6, 2025 at 10:51 PM
Well #bldrweb , the update failed again. Apologies for the long down times, but restoring from the backup takes at least 2 or 3 hours (there's a lot of small files).

But this time I found a new clue! I think something is broken with the Yunhost updater for glitch social. Others are reporting […]

#bldrweb - Upgrade with some downtime happening today!

Sometime midday today I'm going to take the server offline so I can run a backup then apply some upgrades. Tentatively planning for ~11AM, but I'll try to give you all a 30min warning.
July 31, 2024 at 12:11 PM
Hey #bldrweb - around 2:30p today, I'm going to make another attempt at the improvements to the server (more disk space, separate data volume, smaller/cheaper VPS node).

I'm estimating about 2h of downtime if everything goes smoothly.

I setup a chat (mattermost) on a separate server for […]

Hey #bldrweb - need to apply an upgrade, so we'll have a brief downtime in a few minutes.
October 16, 2024 at 11:35 PM
Server going offline now. Wish me luck!

Hey #bldrweb - I'll be applying a server upgrade shortly. Possibly momentary downtime. Will reply here when I'm done.
July 8, 2024 at 5:16 PM
Hey #bldrweb - still working on upgrades here. Will need to take the server offline again sometime soon. Sorry for all the up/down.
July 12, 2024 at 2:14 AM
Hey there #bldrweb - I created a Matrix room for us to use as a communications back channel in case the server is ever down. Of course you can always reach me by email, but there are some cases where Matrix (a slack- or discord-like interface) might be better. Go check it out and say hello […]

#bldrweb - going offline in ~15 minutes
July 31, 2024 at 4:37 PM
Hey #bldrweb 🚨 - I'm going to take the server offline sometime in the next 30min or so to do some upgrades. I'm hoping this will be ~1h downtime.

Fear not - we have a more recent backup this time around, so data loss should be pretty unlikely!

If you happen to be a member of my #bldrweb Mastodon instance (toot.bldrweb.org), apologies about the extended downtime! I'm working on a resolution, but have to balance paid work as well. I'm posting status update to the OpenCollective: opencollective.com/dashboard/bl...

Server was running slow, so that took a lot longer than expected, but seems we're back online. #bldrweb
