Hi all. I’ve been having some problems keeping fedia.io running - at the moment, either the message workers or the php web server processes are dying after an hour or so and I have to restart everything. I have been working with the mbin team and installed some updates that we hoped would fix the problems, but no luck. I am going to work on a cron job to automatically restart things once an hour. The down side, is that you’ll likely see some error 500’s if you happen to hit it when the processes are restarting, but it should happen quickly and refreshing the page should make it work again.
mbin is the platform that both sites utilize. fedia.io is the most popular, and i would argue the flagship mbin installation.
i am building moist.catsweat.com as a stable counterpart to distribute the load, maybe add a little irreverence to the fediverse.
