Main services unavailable

Publicado el Thursday 4 April 2024, a 19:36 UTC

Our main services have been down since 2024-04-02 14:29 UTC because our filer server is experiencing troubles. We are currently waiting for someone on-site who would be willing to press the power button of the affected machine.

As usual, e-mails are not lost: they are being collected by our MX2 service and will be released when our main services are up and running again.

Update on 2024-04-12 14:15 UTC: sooooooo, while waiting for remote hands to reset our host, air conditioning stopped working… sure there was not much left that was still working but it took days to bring air conditioning back… anyway, everything is up and running again. We can only apologize for such a tremendous downtime.

Main services unavailable

Following air conditioning troubles in our main datacentre, our main services are down. We are currently working on restoring them. Please bear with us.

Update on 2023-10-10 16:20 UTC: everything is back online.

Update on 2023-10-11 12:40 UTC: our filer is experiencing extra troubles. Consequently, most of our main services are down again.

Update on 2023-10-18 21:00 UTC: as you certainly noticed, our main services have been down for an entire week.

Let's start with some bad news:

• Our main services are still down as this update is being written.
• We are facing human issues with our patron, specifically with the company that provides most of TuxFamily's servers with housing, power and connectivity. Essentially, we are still waiting for them to press the power button of the affected machine.

As to good news:

• Data (websites, databases, Git repositories, etc.) are not lost.
• E-mails are not lost either: they are being collected by our MX2 service and will be released when our main services are up and running again.

Update on 2023-10-19 14:30 UTC: our main services are up and running again. We can only apologize for such a tremendous downtime.

Main services down

Publicado el Sunday 9 July 2023, a 15:51 UTC

Today, around 11:37 UTC, we lost contact with some of our most important hosts, presumably following yet another power hiccup. Consequently, our main services (web areas, databases, SCM repositories, access to mailboxes, etc.) are down. Secondary services (MX2, NS2, etc.) are still up and running, along with download repositories. As this is being written, we cannot predict when exactly our services will recover and can only apologize for the significant downtime incurred. Please bear with us.

Update on 2023-07-14: despite a brief return to normal on 13 July around 17:00 UTC, our main services are down again since about 6:20 UTC.

Update on 2023-07-19 13:00 UTC: alright, everything should be back online.

Power hiccup

Publicado el Sunday 2 July 2023, a 14:05 UTC

Today, around 05:39 UTC, we experienced a power hiccup (yeah, again…) that killed some hosts, unfortunately impacting all of our main services. Secondary services (MX2, NS2, etc.) are up. We are currently waiting for remote hands.

Edit 2023-07-03 12:10 UTC: No remote hand is sight, but we still managed to bring back everything.

Power hiccup

Yesterday, around 11:40 UTC, we experienced a power hiccup that killed some hosts. Impact was low and almost everything restarted properly. We managed to brought back most services a couple of hours ago. Unfortunately we just lost a big host storing most data for an unknown reason yet but probably related to disk arrays in bad shape after the power hiccup. We are currently waiting for remote hands.

Edit 2023-06-05 14:40 UTC: Alright, everything is back to normal!

Power hiccup

Today, around 15:20 UTC, we experienced a power hiccup that killed some hosts. We managed to bring back most services, everything else (panel, mail, webmail) will be back shortly.

Edit 2022-10-29 22:30 UTC: Everything is back online, however our main database is running in read-only mode until we get access to the host that have the latest copy of it. That mean services needing database write access (panel, lists, webmail, …) will not work flawlessly for now.

Edit 2022-10-31 12:20 UTC: Alright, everything is back to normal!
