State of the Instance (April 2023)

Posted by grips on 2023-04-24 ยท Category: updates

Scheduled maintenance

Start: 26th of April (Wed), 09:00 UTC

Time to finally migrate the server to Rocky Linux. Expected to last a few hours.

Alerting

After the disk space ran out again a few more times, I got angry with myself and added some alerting to my monitoring dashboard.

A few different metrics are monitored, including free disk space, CPU load, or if Pleroma is responding to any requests at all. Every time one of these values passes a certain threshold, a Telegram bot is notified and sends me a message, which I will always notice if I'm online, including on my phone. Currently it's a bit too noisy and I'll have to fine-tune it a bit more, but it has already helped to prevent an outage or two.

It makes a startling sound, too!

This month, the instance getting plundered is shrine.moe.

For the next month, I'm thinking of plundering eientei.org -- I hope you like soyjaks!
