Hi all. I’ve been having some problems keeping fedia.io running - at the moment, either the message workers or the php web server processes are dying after an hour or so and I have to restart everything. I have been working with the mbin team and installed some updates that we hoped would fix the problems, but no luck. I am going to work on a cron job to automatically restart things once an hour. The down side, is that you’ll likely see some error 500’s if you happen to hit it when the processes are restarting, but it should happen quickly and refreshing the page should make it work again.
We can definitively use more developers. We are currently with only two: me and bentigorlich (recently debounced left as well as e-five). I also didn’t use Symfony (the PHP framework behind it), but I now also got those skills in place… So no worries, we are happy to help you. You can join us at Matrix, so it’s easier to chat and discuss: Mbin Matrix space. I hope to see you there!
Sorry you also went through this: -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia. Kbin.run was the instance of debounced, mentioned earlier…
This annoys me about the fediverse - people take a chance on coming here and then repeatedly get left in the dark when their instance is shut down. That’s why I was so very happy when you and others helped me get fedia.io back to healthy.
