Announcement: Downtime git.friendi.ca / wiki.friendi.ca / files.friendi.ca / drone.friendi.ca


There might be a planned downtime tomorrow 14:00 CET. I am still figuring out if it is necessary to swap the NVME storage drive of the server and am in contact with the hosting company.

Please prepare for about 4-6 hours downtime to allow raid resync.

It might be much shorter, but I feel more comfortable with that prognosis.

Also if you know your way around NVME replacement and raid resync I am open for suggestions on how to do this, maybe it is possible to resync the system while it is running, last time I did not manage to do this and had to use a rescue live #Linux system to recover.

Details on the time scheduled in your timezone:

a bit to early... need to shutdown now.
could someone check for function, I need to fiddle with the RAID and the new drive, need to start the resync.
@Tobias hmm yes, seems to be some gitea problem.
@Tobias and before that it was my fault... now wiki works, but git does not.

@Tobias hmm let me check about the SSH.
This entry was edited (3 years ago)
@Tobias this "ProtectSystem=full" instead of "ProtectSystem=strict" did not help.
@Tobiaschown gitea:gitea /etc/gitea/app.ini solvee the permission issue to access app.ini.
@Tobias works without systemd, so back to systemd problem.
@Tobias em yes, that is what I did too, started it manually... but killed it again now.
@Tobias seems now systemctl restart gitea.service worked and gitea keeps running.
@Tobias if there just was some realtime communication we could use. ;-)

I have no idea what the problem was, but it seems to be solved. I will continue with something else, if there is any further problem you encounter, please let me know via Matrix, XMPP or Signal if you can.
@Tobias hmm to me? Hmm do still have my old utzer.de Matrix address, that server I had to kill, Matrix used toooo much resources.
@Tobias yes, sorry, I am not usually abandoning services like that, but Matrix is really frustrating ressource hogging.
