Past Incidents

11th September 2025

frontend webserver down because of my shenanigans

it'll be up again soon I just need to figure out how to feed nginx a config override without immediately completely dying

Mastodon down because Backup is running

I just realized the mastodon backup didn't successfully complete because the ZFS backup is running .. ... might cancel it but it could mess with things so first trying to see how far into the process it is

  • alright fixed, but I'm still messing with the webserver so some disturbance can still happen

  • hmm, started it but now I think nginx is upset because of some unrelated config

    Upgrading Mastodon (+ the rest as usual)

    Mastodon has released a new major version; 4.4. This comes with a heap of interesting new features and changes.

    At the same time, other services like Gitlab and Nextcloud will be updated.

  • all done!

  • as last thing Gitlab is being updated, then we'll be done again. smooth sailing for a major upgrade tbh

  • mastodon is starting again.. let's see if it works

  • mastodon is restarting, the database migrations are currently being run

  • The mastodon update scripts are running, database backup has been completed, update is being deployed now.
