Original title: Was the site offline / having problems for anyone else?

Hello, I just came back and noticed that the site wasn’t working properly. Was this just me or did anyone else experience problems?

I’m browsing through logs to try find the reason, but it could have been just an issue on my side.

Thank you!

EDIT: I think I might have found the cause. I’ll keep investigating. Apologies for the downtime U_U.

EDIT2: I have located a database error which seems to be related to a sudden disconnection / shutdown. After that the database wasn’t able to work correctly until I rebooted the server. This can only come from a series of docker commands I ran this afternoon. It is weird that these commands don’t shut down the database container gracefully, but I’ll take extra precautions next time.

    Yes. Images hosted on the site had trouble loading and I couldn’t vote, then pages failed to load altogether. As @River says, it was about an hour back.

      Thank you. That’s weird. Do you know if two hours before it was working?

      I know I left home about four hours ago and it was working then. I’ll have a look at all logs about an hour ago.

        At 12pm US central time, I was having problems so the time the site was down was longer. So it has been over 4-5 hours for me.

          Okay, that makes sense. That was I was making some changes. This seems to have been related to the way in which I restarted the containers, which is weird because it should restart the database in a graceful manner but apparently it wasn’t so.

          My mistake was leaving without checking properly that things were up again. I’ll make sure to write a message next time so that I can verify that things are back to normal by posting something.
