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…

[imagem] 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.

[imagem] 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-h…
