Without me changing anything, my Discourse forum https://lilypond.community suddenly started returning an error page for any request with login cookies: Oops The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Detailed information ab…

How did you manage get the admin interface to open without error in the first place?

I had to wait until the git nonsense timed out, and/or could get my request served to a pitchfork which wasn’t blocked. My forum/logs area is presently showing 4 cases of “pitchfork worker timed out” and it’s not a very busy forum at all.

Edit: this did not solve my problem, as I discover after several hours. One could also use rails from an ssh access, I believe. This might be a terrible idea. Proceed at your own risk. # docker exec -i app rails runner 'puts SiteSetting.version_checks' true # docker exec -i app rails runner 'Sit…

[이미지] Ed_S: My forum/logs area is presently showing 4 cases of “pitchfork worker timed out” and it’s not a very busy forum at all. I’m now seeing 15 cases of pitchfork worker timed out, with two different backtraces. On the linux side pitchfork continues to accrue unreaped children and somet…

[이미지] satonotdead: they are still having issues in their systems On the github issue it seems people (at least in Europe) are seeing the problem is resolved. It seems OK for me (my servers are in Finland) Anyone confirm they still have a problem?

My own forum is working again as well. However, the issue is certainly not solved in general: an outage of GitHub shouldn’t cause an outage of Discourse forums in the first place.

Yet it does, because any reason why rebuilding of a container fails, will kill Discourse (and that’s why we have an option: 2-container setup). But sure. It would be nice if the app-container would survive.

[이미지] jeanas: an outage of GitHub shouldn’t cause an outage of Discourse forums in the first place. I completely agree. And in my case, there was no rebuild or other intentional git action. These were I think ‘helpful’ git actions which turned out not to be helpful. I would like my self-host…

제 포럼도 다시 정상 작동하고 있습니다. 하지만 문제는 여전히 근본적으로 해결되지 않았습니다: GitHub의 장애가 Discourse 포럼의 장애로 이어져서는 안 되니까요.
