Well that`s not reassuring. 😅 Maybe I should start considering manual data retrieval? If it is an option.

Both of my installs are made on clean Ubuntu 16.04 VPS following official readme. Both instances are running on `psql (PostgreSQL) 9.5.5`. That was the first thing I checked. 😕 At ScaleWay I have chosen Docker kernel. My other install is on DigitalOcean 1GB RAM. As far as I can check everything is up to date.
