I thought it was just me!

Jup, this error happend quite a bit recently.. sorry for this. Tonight the server had 5h downtime and this morning I updated to the latest forum version.
I hope that this resolves the most major issues, and that the connection drops stop happening.

Please let me know if you experience any errors and I'll take a look at it.

Same here

@Dominik-Mayer Was down for me most of the night last night with the same 502 Error.

EDIT: As soon as I posted this, I went back to the forum to do a search. When I clicked "Search" I was given a 503 Service Unavailable error as well. It resolved itself quickly.

Jup, still some nightly one-hour downtimes.. Apologies for this. Thought this would be gone now but nope,, running some loggers now to pin down the problem.

[Dan Korneff]

@Dominik-Mayer it always seems to be that one hour that I really need help

[Christoph Hart]

@Dan-Korneff I think we found the problem - we had a cron job on the forum server running once a day (exactly at that one hour that you really need help) that rebuilds the docs, but that seems to eat up all the CPU and memory and mess with the forum.

[orange]

Exceptions aside, the 502 Bad Gateway error is usually related to insufficient cpu or memory as a result of server overload and is caused by no response from the server.

Edit: The issue still happens here.

@orange @Christoph-Hart @Dan-Korneff

Back up. Sorry for this whole mess the last days. updating the forum software messed with deprecated config files, socket.io was sending messages to wrong port, the docs rebuilder raised us in the memory threshold...

As last resort we can still raise the memory bar, but lets see how it goes the next days..
Apologies again for the downtimes,
Best
Do

[Dominik Mayer]

Woop, :detective:

One of the spam-bot addresses with a duplicate email address was fucking up the auto-register procedure which forced the server to reboot every hour and led to the socket connection drops experienced by everyone.

Fixed now. I hope the forum is more stable from now on.

Please let me know if you experience something unusual and i'll take a look at it.
