Downtime: Extended Downtime of Secondary Services
by Cormac Smartt 14 Apr '18

14 Apr '18

Hi folks, During our scheduled maintenance today, our main Docker host (zeus) had the scheduled maintenance performed, a full system update, and (what we expected to be) a reboot. It is now taking an extended nap, pending one of the team getting onsite this Monday, which is when service can be expected to resume. The affected services: - redbrick.dcu.ie (Redbrick Main Website) - md.redbrick.dcu.ie (HackMD) - mastodon.redbrick.dcu.ie (Mastodon) - paste.redbrick.dcu.ie (HasteBin) - wetty.redbrick.dcu.ie (Web Terminal) - git.redbrick.dcu.ie (Gitea) - bitlbee.redbrick.dcu.ie (Bitlbee) Our primary services (IRC, Mail, User Sites, and SSH Logins) will remain unaffected. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this, and are doing our best to get things moving again as quickly as possible. Updates will come via email and IRC as they happen. -- Cormac Smartt (~pints) Redbrick Service Destruction Engineer t: 086 362 7557

Hi folks This email is to notify you of downtime on a number of our secondary services this weekend. Time: Saturday 14/4/2018 13:00 - 15:00 Affected services: - redbrick.dcu.ie (Redbrick Main Website) - md.redbrick.dcu.ie (HackMD) - mastodon.redbrick.dcu.ie (Mastodon) - paste.redbrick.dcu.ie (HasteBin) - wetty.redbrick.dcu.ie (Web Terminal) - git.redbrick.dcu.ie (Gitea) - bitlbee.redbrick.dcu.ie (Bitlbee) Our primary services (IRC, Mail, User Sites, and SSH Logins) will not be affected. This downtime is due to maintenance to our Docker infrastructure, which hosts the above services. During this window, our existing Apache reverse proxy/routing system will be replaced with Traefik, to allow for greater flexibility and ease of expansion as we move to a more container-focused environment over the coming years. Learn more about Traefik here: https://traefik.io/ If you have questions or concerns, please get in touch with myself and the team, at: elected-admins(a)redbrick.dcu.ie Regards, -- Cormac Smartt (~pints) Redbrick Systems Administrator

Hi everyone, my name is Nevan Oman Crowe (branch) and I'm the new Redbrick Secretary, I'm here to bring to you all the Redbrick info your minds desire. The first thing I'd like to say at the start of my magical adventure as the Redbrick Secretary is to give out my biggest thanks to our outgoing Secretary Chris Dowling (winesnob) for her amazing work throughout my first year in the Redbrick circus.
