Issue with platform stability

Announcements
1 1 419
  • 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.

    I’ve noticed that I’m the only one subscribed to the push notifications on this site. If you were using NTFY previously, and have noticed that you’ve not had any alerts for a while, it’s because this feature has been disabled. You’ll now need to use the push notification to replace NTFY as mentioned in the first post.

    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”

    @DownPW Looks ok for the most part, but this looks like it’s truncated? return { ...ogsResult, metaProperties: metadata, faviconUrl: faviconB64, }; }

    @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.

    Just coming back to this thread for review (as I often do), and it looks like Webdock have increased their available offerings - some are extremely powerful, yet very competitive from the pricing perspective. [image: 1692559685163-7cf9a928-ac21-44fe-99c6-90439030d631-image.png] 10 CPU cores, plus 20Gb RAM? Well worth a look (and the asking price) - there’s also a fixed IP which is hugely beneficial. Clearly, this is well beyond what most people will want to spend - it’s more of an example (but interestingly, Sudonix runs on something not too different from the above). However, not all that glitters is gold - just have a walk through the benchmark report I found below and you’ll see a huge difference between Heztner and Webdock https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/compare/hetzner_vs_webdock That being said, the amount of HTTP requests that Webdock handles in relation to Hetzner is superior - @DownPW you might want to have a look at this - there’s a free 24 hour trial… [image: 1692560710486-5203639b-2f62-47e6-b87b-37580ce5deae-image.png]

    And it seems to be less conflicting!
