EDIT 07/24: This is an ongoing issue and may be a hardware fault with the machine the instance is running on. I’ve opened a support case with OVH to have them run diagnostics and investigate. In the meantime I am getting a Solarwinds server spun up to alert me anytime we have issues so I can jump on and restore service. I am also looking into migrating Lemmy.tf over to another server, but this will require some prep work to avoid hard downtime or DB conflicts during DNS cutover.

OP from 07/22:

Woke up this morning to notice that everything was hard down- something tanked my baremetal at OVH overnight and apparently the Lemmy VM was not set to autostart. This has been corrected and I am digging into what caused the outage in the first place.

I know there is some malicious activity going on with some of the larger instances, but as of this time I am not seeing any evidence of intrusion attempts or a DDoS or anything.
