Issue with platform stability

Announcements
1 1 721
  • I’m pleased to report that the issues with stability have been resolved. For no apparent reason, the platform’s underlying technologies suddenly refused to start and restart on demand, so a temporary fix was needed to provide a “band-aid” for this issue until we could find the root cause.

    After significant research, and with the assistance of NodeBB themselves (special thanks to @gotwf), instead of ./nodebb start we are now using a systemd service.

    This has resolved the issue. We continue to monitor site stability and will advise if any further action is required.

    @DownPW of course. As I mentioned in the first post, Sudonix isn’t going anywhere. It’ll continue to be free as it always has been.

    @phenomlab of course, to be recognised is fantastic. @phenomlab said in Ch..ch..ch..ch..changes!: Sadly, no. Web crawlers and scrapers are often JS based and read text only, so styles don’t have any bearing. I’ve read mixed things about this, but no that does make sense, it was something I read a many years back when using Wordpress.

    I relented somewhat here and added another swatch - one I missed, which was previous called “blackout”. This specific one has been adapted to work on the new theming engine, but the others have been reclassified, and renamed to suit. [image: 1693924764891-d7f3a7a1-9702-4238-99bd-5c0e0d53f244-image.png] As a result, the theme you might have had will probably be reflecting something else, so you (might) need to change your themes accordingly. The changes are as follows Light -> No Change Cloudy -> Is now the old “Dim” Dim -> Is now the old “Dark” Dark -> Now a new theme based on the revamped “Blackout”

    @Madchatthew True. I think this is the reason as to why most Open Source projects are abandoned because they are not sustainable in the long-term.

    @crazycells Yes, you should install the app that is offered when you access the site. I’ve had mixed experiences with this though. It seems to work fine with Chrome and Firefox, but it’s a bit hit and miss with Apple devices because of their closed ecosystem, and the inability to access the push service directly. Android is completely different in the sense that the service is open for usage, meaning hooking into the pusher is simple. For Apple, it is closed source, so probably won’t work.
