update: Beehaw's update downtime was actually just now. oops.
we accidentally did the upgrade just now, which is what you just experienced. anyways we're at like double the power and processing, and three times the storage we were previously at so yeah hopefully that'll be good. anyways i guess i'll leave this post stickied until i go to sleep in like an hour
If you don't mind my asking, what hardware were y'all using beforehand? I'm looking to host my own instance, but starting as a noob. I know how to build computers but I'm trying to go further.
Beehaw is hosted on DigitalOcean, not sure what price range at this point as I know it's been upgraded recently. It's really easy to spin up one of their "droplets" and get started on a project.
I just got a 14$ droplet with 1 vCPU and 2 gigs of ram with weekly backups. I like their interface and have been happy with it overall so far. Hoping to start up my own lemmy instance for learning purposes, though a bit daunting as apparently the docker instructions are incomplete.
I also know pretty much nothing about ansible. And while that could be a learning opportunity in itself, I'd like to challenge myself to get it running through docker. It would be one of the more complex things I've set up.
Sounds pretty fun! I have a spare laptop running Linux Mint. I would like to try running my own instance and sharing it with a few users. Below are the specs. Do you think it will be powerful enough, and if so, how many users would it be able to handle?
I'm primarily watching from the sidelines and able to test things if needed for you guys, but I can definitely say this sudden influx is such a rare opportunity for us tech folks (SWEs and sysadmins) to get a real look at what breaks when you do a real load/soak test of a service.
Post-mortems are amazing for tech knowledge, so seeing it kind of "live" is even better.
I just went and put some laundry in and I guess it happened then. I remember a time when it would take that long, or longer just to load a single image on a webpage :P
Congrats on the upgrade! Funnily enough, I decided to finally check if my registration was approved, managed to log in, and immediately wasn't able view the stickied post talking about Beehaw's vision. Glad I didn't kill the site like I thought!
