Mirror Service OS upgrade BEGIN

Ubuntu LTS OS Upgrade 20.04->22.04->24.04

We will today commence the upgrading of the OS of our Mirror server.

We currently run Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Which is soon to be EOL. And will upgrade the OS to 24.04 LTS during the day. Ahead of reaching the EOL date later in 2025.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, thank you for your patience and continued support.

Service Downtime

Equipment relocation

The reason for the downtime is physical relocation of our equipment at the location of our hosting provider, Aalborg University Denmark. Our expectation is our infrastructure will be online again this evening. We do not yet have en exact estimate when the relocation will be completed. 2023-08-22 23:37 +02:00 update: We could not confirm uplink connectivity on our internet facing ports. There will be a delay until tomorrow (23 Aug 2023) before being possible to bring our servers online. [Read More]

Service Outage

ETA: Fixed

We are currently experiencing an unexpected outage across all mirrors, and are currently investigating.

Update 2022-07-27T12:30:00+02:00: We have identified and fixed the cause of the outage, service is now fully restored. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Power Outage

We are currently experiencing a power outage in Aalborg, and are therefore down. We are sorry for the inconvenience this causes and hope that power will be back soon.

Update: The outage has been resolved.

Connectivity Issues

We are currently experiencing issues with our internet connection, which may cause connection failures. From our testing this is only limited to IPv4.

We will update this post when we know more.

Update 2022-02-10T21:13:55+02:00: It should now be possible to connect again via IPv4. The issues was a configuration error at our ISP.

We would like thank DeiC for helping us resolve the issue this quickly.

dotsrc have successfully moved to the new location

mirrors.dotsrc.org should be back up and running

We have successfully moved to new location and mirrors.dotsrc.org should be up and running. Please write us on staff@dotsrc.org if you do not think this is the case and we will take a look :) Note that one of our virtualization servers still is down at the time of writing, see this post. Thanks to Aalborg University for supplying us with one more server, assistance, and still accomodating us. Below are some pictures of the move, we will spare you the details. [Read More]

dotsrc are moving to a new location

The time has come for dotsrc to move our servers from our current server room at Aalborg University to a new one. The old locations had been decommissioned and were no longer maintained. Without adequate cooling, the servers have begun to behave rather strangely. Thus the relocation has been expedited.

We hope that all services are up and running again during Thursday afternoon.

Hardware failure on mirrors.dotsrc.org

ETA: Fixed

mirrors.dotsrc.org is unavailable, starting at aprox 2021-06-01T11:30+02:00. One of our HP D2600 disk enclosures had crashed, which took down the entire ZFS pool again.

Update 2021-06-03: Fixed by moving to a new location, see newer posts.
