Apologies to all for today’s performance issues and downtime.
Logging for our lemmy instance filled our main partition and brought everything to a halt. Our lemmy instance shares hardware with blahaj.zone, and the significant growth in lemmy over the last 10 days has caused the logs to grow in size exponentially! As a result of the logs filling up the main partition, both lemmy.blahaj.zone and blahaj.zone itself went down.
We’ve freed up some space, upgraded the hardware and spun everything up again, and it looks everything is back to normal.
Apologies for the inconvenience, and welcome back to everyone!
The real issue is simply that this instance was set up more as experiment initially, with basically 1 user, and suddenly it’s got 1500 users. The growth caught us by surprise, and it was never set up with this growth rate in mind. Got it under control now, and we will be keeping an eye on future growth
Cool; Good luck!
