Forumosa's server move - at last!

That explains a lot. I tried tweeting both the forumosa accounts I found to no avail regarding the outage. Didn’t know there was a Fb as well.

Can’t believe I was the only one to find the Line account… :bug:

I thought some butthurt CCP hAcKeRzz had permanently taken down this place for a few hours yesterday. In my search for information, I noticed Forumosa’s Twitter hasn’t been updated in like 5 years. Probably should make it active again to keep people in the loop. :thinking:

I didn’t even think of it, which is what I get for not participating much in the lolz of social media. :grandpa:

Yeah! One was just a TON of tweets saying there had been replies to threads (wut) and the other I noticed hadn’t been touched but I figured I would @ it anyway hoping someone would get my distress beacon.

That was my first thought too.

Hi folks - thank you for hanging in there with us.

Here is what happened from my perspective:

  • Image embedding stopped working a few days ago - which I now understand shuts off when we run out of disk space
  • Over the past 10 days, disk usage jumped from 70% to 99%
    image
  • Our US-based tech support checked-in with us if we noticed the forum downtime and advised we resize our server hard drive
  • Although I have since learned it is really easy to do that, I hadn’t done it before so decided to hold off attempting the resize until tech support and I were awake at the same time (I doubled our server size)

Next time the image embedding feature stops working, we will:

  • check the disk usage
  • Post to Facebook, LINE and Twitter
  • Contact tech support about a need to reconfigure our server again

Is our server running on a Virtual box image or Docker container?

I assume it is in a Docker container, but I did not set it up myself

If a tree falls in the forest, and there’s nobody around to hear, does it make a sound? :grin:

As always, I’m visiting the forum from my mobile. For some reason, now I get a vibration feedback every time I :heart: one post.
Did you guys change something?

Forget the earthquake, what’s happening on Forumosa?

Didn’t see it!

Could it be a Discorse thing?
