More unexpected downtime

Announcements

Hey guys,

I just came back from late christmas shopping with the wife, and chilled a bit of television.
I logged on to see my favorite mixing crowd and discovered the forum was down :frowning: Even more unexpected downtime.

It seems I didn’t stop Digital Ocean from performing backups on the forum, just the main site. Well, they decide to do a backup earlier, and apparently the forum didn’t like that so it went down. I’ve restarted it and am presently disabling backups to later implement the same backup I did on the main site.

It also seems I didn’t set up monitoring for the forum, otherwise I would have gotten an SMS-message when it went down. I am setting that up now as well.

I hope I didn’t ruin your friday :stuck_out_tongue: Mine was OK, until I went online :confused:

Anyway! I hope you have a great weekend, and I’m sure I’ll talk to you here :smiley:

Your red-eared admin,

Lars

Ok, backups are disabled and monitoring is active. Now I just hope both sites will stay up, or at least go down when I’m near a computer and can do something about it! :smiley:

For me, the site is one of many important parts of my persona. For you, it means much more. Your doing a great job by my book, hang in there.

Didn’t ruin my day…but it did give me time to reflect and consider the possibility of getting a vapors anonymous sponsor.

You’re the best @daath, and we do appreciate all you do.

My best friend was the IT guy at the race shop I used to work at. He could shut the place down with his cell phone. Don’t you guys have cell phones over there? :smile::sweat_smile::laughing::innocent:
