Looks really, really well done! :D
Aware and investigating!
Status update
Both instances are back online again! We're currently transferring cached media from remote instances to the local storage, so avatars, emojis, and older attachments may currently appear as broken images.
As of Feb 7th at 10:45 PM Mountain Time, pawb.fun has re-generated all feeds, while furry.engineer is continuing with an estimated 25 minutes to go. We're also re-generating the ElasticSearch indicies which power the full-text search system and expect that to continue through the night.
Yes, we'll be maintaining:
- Multiple replicas across different disks (local)
- Hourly and daily snapshots (local)
- Regular off-site backups for disaster recovery
Didn't even think to do that! Added to the sidebar :3
Here's a link to the post I made with some pictures, some of the specs, and a look at the other hardware we're got in the rack: https://furry.engineer/@crashdoom/110821928529948298 :3
We've got a few we'll be posting once we've got the rest of the rack all tidied up again :3
It was actually remarkably simple to do, just following the guide on the docs page, but we were on 4.1.2 so here be dragons if you're on 3.4.6. But, Glitch-soc does make you do both sets of migrations just in case, so it might be fine.
Yep, markdown is the formatting language used by Lemmy on the backend so all of these should work here too!
Maintenance will begin shortly on all Pawb.Social services. We anticipate the downtime being no longer than two hours, and will endeavor to bring the services online as soon as possible.
I’d say so, they do serve different purposes and it isn’t yet possible to follow Mastodon accounts from Lemmy.
Mastodon is to Twitter, as Lemmy is to Reddit. :3
Looking like I had an off-by-one error, it's actually fixed in the beta for 0.19.6; Will look at upgrading to that to fix the issue, just reviewing the changes to make sure there's nothing else major there.
