Going down for a brief maintenance period

I need to take the site down briefly to handle a backup issue and free up some space. It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. Sorry for the short notice, but we’re getting a little bit cramped for space, and I don’t want to reduce the number of backups (5) that we store.

All done. We should be at the latest version of Discourse, and the backup issue should be gone. We’ve got 20GiB free on the main drive, plus about 40GiB free on the new backup drive. That should give us breathing room for quite some time. :crossed_fingers:

So, uh, without wishing to start a new thread about it in case I missed a scheduled maintenance notice, did anyone else experience about 12 hours of downtime in the last 24 hours?

I was getting a 504 gateway timeout all day today, Singapore time.

@LockeCJ , @tinoesroho, would you mind sending me a private message if there was no outage today?

I had the same thing.

It was not scheduled.

Ah, that’s a relief. I get a bit… twitchy… when things on the internet go down without warning in my neck of the woods…
