The instance was down so long, I was worried it wasn't ever coming back.

I'm sorry. Apparently the Lemmy server component went down but because the frontend was still responsive my downtime monitor didn't detect it as down.

would it be worth it to add an api monitor to the health checks?
curl --request GET --url 'https://yiffit.net/api/v3/community?name=meta' --header 'accept: application/json'

Thank you. I'll add that to the status monitor. Do you have experience in system administration? I am basically unable to take proper care of yiffit at the moment, often being out of town and I need some help :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Sorry, no experience in that area. I only started looking at web stuff a month or two ago when I had an idea I might bring to life.

The "shit's on fire" detector is on fire... yo.

Glad you're back. Any word on upgrading to 0.19? Apps are threatening to drop support for 0.18.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Yes, I'll upgrade this week at latest. Sorry for keeping us back. Historically that used to be the safest decision for Lemmy, but I do realize it's been a long time.

With a little blip a few minutes ago, it looks like https returns 500, so the downtime monitor might not be working 100%. Also its update time is listed as hundreds of hours ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm working on it. Apologies for the downtime. I added enough resources to keep this from happening for another year, although I'll try to migrate to 0.19 this week.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

No worries from me. I don't know what you see or don't see, or notice or not notice, so I figure it doesn't hurt to give you any info I notice.

I'm glad it's back up!

Same, I thought wander had stopped hosting it.
