Kodiack Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Hey everyone, Ninfora will be offline a handful of times in the coming weeks. There are more details in the current announcement. The downtime on 18 April will be especially disruptive since it's during a busier period in the evening and is expected to take approximately four hours. Unfortunately, it is not in my control to change or reschedule this - apologies for the timing. This is more of a heads-up than anything else, since you'll likely be greeted with an incredibly generic error page when the site is temporarily offline. Shout out if you have any questions!

Tyranogre Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Oh, thank God. I just saw this giant red bar with white text at the top of the screen and for a split-second I thought it meant I was in trouble. Kodiack, Doc Brown and April 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Kodiack Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 The extended downtimes are now complete. There will likely be a network upgrade within the next few weeks as well, but I'm anticipating it will have minimal downtime, and I am able to do it at a much more convenient time that shouldn't cause any real disruption. Enjoy! Tyranogre, alienboyva, April and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment
Kodiack Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 Apologies for the downtime. We've had some wild weather across New Zealand and it's resulted in thousands of outages. Everything in town was knocked off the grid for a couple of hours today. Quote Link to comment

But thanks for the information on the downtime. Where I live we had power outage a few weeks ago from a freak thunderstorm. Out of power for 10hrs. I hope all and you nearby are okay and you guys can get power and normalcy soon. Doc Brown and Kodiack 2 Quote Link to comment

Yep, safe and dry so far! The wind is really nasty at times still though. It’s worse than at any point when I was living in Wellington, which is really saying something given that’s the windiest city in the world haha. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Interesting, didn't know that city is the windiest in the world. What a twist on irony there. Glad your okay and hope normalcy is around the corner for the rest that were hit hard. Quote Link to comment
Kodiack Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 There will be some brief planned downtime this evening for maintenance and more electrical upgrades. Quote Link to comment
Kodiack Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 The site has had some substantial behind-the-scenes upgrades. Performance should be drastically improved at times, and everything should be just a bit more reliable yet. I was testing these upgrades previously and planned to roll them out last night, but an unexpected hardware failure delayed my plans slightly. Regardless, it's all in place now. Shout out if you notice anything weird! While I can usually catch and resolve issues in testing before they go live, there's always the possibility that something managed to sneak by.

Kodiack Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 There may be downtime soon. Someone ran into a power pole and took much of the town down. The server is currently running on backup power but only gets about 45 minutes off that. Quote Link to comment

The server is currently running on backup power but only gets about 45 minutes off that. There was some downtime from this. The driver that hit that pole caused a heck of a disruption in the town with the road closure and the power outage. Power won’t be restored for over twelve hours. The server has been physically relocated for the next day to keep things running in the meantime. The new, larger UPS was able to keep things running for a good while at least. It softened the blow a lot since the response was less rushed. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Running into a pole and shutting off an entire town’s power supply is one thing. But causing our site to go offline for a few hours?! Unforgivable! Kodiack 1 Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I keep randomly getting this error message when I try to click on the board index: It doesn't appear to do anything, and it usually goes away when I refresh the page, but it's still annoying. Quote Link to comment

I've not run into that before, but I do see a small number of errors in a log that are almost certainly related. Does continue to show up if you sign out and sign in again? Quote Link to comment
Kodiack Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 @Tyranogre There was a small hotfix patch for the forum software. Let me know if you see that issue again. I'll keep an eye on the logs as well to see if anything's still showing up in there. Tyranogre 1 Quote Link to comment
April Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) i'm also getting it intermittently. i'll try signing out as well edit: it's been so long since i've signed out on this computer that my username for ninfora is still set to pichi in my password manager Edited August 6, 2022 by April Quote Link to comment

Just letting you know I still see the error, when I logged out and logged in when clicking the index. EDIT: NVM, it's fixed. It just took a while after signing in and signing out 2 times. All good for me. Edited August 6, 2022 by DLurkster Quote Link to comment
Kodiack Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 @Tyranogre @April @DLurkster I was able to replicate the issue, check the stack trace, and fix it. I found out that there's a bug in the latest PHP 8.1.9 Docker image that I was using. I reverted it to PHP 8.1.8 and the issue seems to have been resolved. Apologies for the interruption! I'll see if this has been reported to the upstream devs and open a bug report if it's not a known issue. DLurkster and April 2 Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Sweet, that would be great to the devs if this is a known issue with that Docker image version. Knowledge is power. Knowledge base. Edited August 6, 2022 by DLurkster Quote Link to comment
