It was installed a while ago following the install guide. It just randomly went offline.

I run a Minecraft Server on the Server too. Though, it does not use Redis and it uses port 19132 so that should not be a problem. It has always worked with it. What I have noticed though, that if I go to the domain to my forum I get a page from nginx saying it works.
