Sorry about that. Our hosting provider went down.
At the moment our architecture looks roughly like this:
- Lemmy backed on a OneProvider VPS
- everything else hosted at Fly.io (we heavily rely on the private networking that fly.io provides, they rock!)
In the future, I’m planning on moving Lemmy backend and pictrs to live in my basement. I have a 1 gig symmetric connection with a backup failover, so I honestly think it’ll be more reliable than these cheap hosting providers and it will be cheaper.
Just want to give a quick update on what’s happened and how we’ll fix it going forward!
Have you removed the donation link that helped cover the instance’s maintenance? Wouldn’t mind throwing a couple bucks your way to help facilitate the migration.
hey I appreciate it! I’ve never had a donation link and I’ve refused thus far to add one. I can afford it so I’m happy just to run it as-is.
At one point I wanted to set up an OpenCollective, but it’s quite a lot of work actually.
I may post a donation link eventually, but for now no worries!
