Server Maintenance - Jan 29th and Jan 30th at 9AM PT
Hello everyone!
I'll be taking the site down for two maintenance windows this week to complete our server migration.
- Weds Jan 29th - 09:00 - 11:00 PT (12:00 - 14:00 ET)
- Thurs Jan 30th - 09:00 - 11:00 PT (12:00 - 14:00 ET)
During the first window I'll be migrating us from OVH to our new dedicated hardware. After this migration there will likely be some temporarily broken images, as it takes approximately 8 hours to resync our object storage from OVH.
This is a major change and despite my testing, may have some unintended side effects. If you run into any problems that aren't just a broken image, please let us know.
The second maintenance window is to migrate our pict-rs database from it's local sled-db into our primary postgres DB. This is a much smaller change but since pict-rs checks every image as it goes through them, it takes about 1.5 hours.
As usual, you can check https://status.lemmy.ca/ for updates.
First move complete, went smoothly =)
The broken images and thumbnails should fill in over the next 8-10 hours 🤞
Let me know how performance is for everyone, I expect it to be quite a bit snappier!
Much faster than I expected!
Performance already seems fine for me
Edit: I can scroll as fast as I can on my phone and never have to wait for a post to load, your upgraded server is awesome!
That was really quick!
Beautiful work ... thanks for everything
Didn't even notice. Today's been busier at work. :D
Sorted by most comments, opened a 400-comment thread. Fast-fast.
Seems a lot snappier for sure!
Good luck with the server migration!
Second move complete, all done for now!
Great news. I hope it was relatively non-eventful.
Beautiful work ... everything purring like a well tuned motor over here
Thanks!
I've noticed my profile pic is partially broken.
The mini-thumbnail beside my name in comments appears fine; but the image in 'about' on my profile is broken. (viewed from Jerboa).
It opens properly in full-res when you click on the broken image though.
Haven't tried re-uploading it yet. Just figured I'd report it.
/edit Broken in the side bar too
Fixed with a re-upload.
Thank you for the updates🤗
I hope the migration goes well!✊🍀Damn, not even 20min?
Well done. 👏
so which canadian politician is gunna resign this time?
🤞🤞🤞
What's the best way to let you know if we're having issues after the maintenance windows? Any on a different platform if we have issues accessing Lemmy?
Thanks for all the hard work!!
We're also in the lemmy rooms on matrix, but [email protected] is probably the quickest method to get my attention if you can't even post on Lemmy at all. I really don't expect any issues though.
Test!
Test from sync
Incoming federation test.
I see the Canuck lemming
Good luck with the work ... and thanks for doing all this
Exciting. This brings us one step closer to Pixelfed and Friendica hosted by Fedecan.
Thank you for the great work Shadow!
I’m so excited for the increased autonomy of Lemmy.ca 🫡
Good luck, @[email protected]. 🤞
good luck and thank you!!
