EDIT Aug 2, 1:53 PM US Mountain Time: Maintenance has now concluded and all services are back online!

We're preparing the server rack for an additional Proxmox node to be added to support HA failover and have identified the need to offline and move some equipment around to complete this work.

As such, we'll have a temporary downtime for up to 1 hour from 1 PM US Mountain Time, today August 2nd, or 1 hour from this post. Though, we expect the work to update the node, move it, and bring it back online to take no longer than 30 minutes.

We're hoping these changes will help us maintain a more stable service going forward, spread out the Sidekiq processes (the ones that receive / send data across the Fediverse), and allow us to perform maintenance as necessary without having to offline the service in the future.

We apologize for the short notice as we had hoped to perform this maintenance without any downtime.

Maintenance window: 1 PM - 2 PM US Mountain Time, August 2nd, 2023

ETA: 30 minutes to 1 hour

During the maintenance window, the following services will be unavailable:

  • pawb.fun
  • pawb.social
  • furry.engineer

We’ll have updates throughout the maintenance window available at https://t.me/pawbsocial.

@crashdoom I want pictures! You can't tease us with stuff like this without photos! 😅

We've got a few we'll be posting once we've got the rest of the rack all tidied up again :3

I would love a post on the pawb infrastructure. I'm super curious about what hardware, back-end software, what type of facility the server is in, and the costs of running it. Although, I think that type of post would be a super security concern.

Here's a link to the post I made with some pictures, some of the specs, and a look at the other hardware we're got in the rack: https://furry.engineer/@crashdoom/110821928529948298 :3
