mirror service unstable and/or offline

As you may have noticed, we have seen a pretty major regression in service on mirrors.dotsrc.org. We have had a few ideas of what could cause this, and initially it looked like scrapping was the culprit. After turning of the indexing on nginx (sorry), we really did not see much of a difference. Instead we have seen pretty stable levels of outgoing traffic, but at a much much lower speed per download. [Read More]

mirrors.dotsrc.org is down again

We are currently seeing a major failure on our zfs raid setup. We hope to get the mirror back today, however this might not be possible depending on the extend of the failure.

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

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

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.

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.

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