hey folks,

Firstly, Discourse rocks. Best forum software ever. Thanks so much for creating and supporting it!

Secondly, I have a small bug. I have a Discourse instance at [http://forum.delimiter.com.au](http://forum.delimiter.com.au). It was installed in a DigitalOcean droplet by the Discourse team for me.

Everything has been performing fine for months, but recently I’ve been getting the following error:

_“Some problems have been found with your installation of Discourse: Sidekiq is not running. Many tasks, like sending emails, are executed asynchronously by sidekiq. Please ensure at least one sidekiq process is running. Learn about Sidekiq here.”_

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to resolve this?
