Hey folks!
Unfortunately, roughly 2 hours ago, lemm.ee went offline. The cause was our load balancer: it suddenly decided that all of our servers had become unhealthy, despite all health checks responding successfully when I requested them directly. In such cases, the load balancer stops serving all requests, effectively meaning that lemm.ee is unreachable for all users. I am still not sure what exactly caused the issue, but I will try to investigate more over the weekend.
For now, we have partially recovered, and I am continuing to work on remaining issues. Hopefully we will be back to 100% very soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Nginx? I had an nginx LB shit itself yesterday. Luckily it auto-recovered and I had HA but just weird it happened.
Actually, we're using Hetzner's cloud load balancer for lemm.ee. But if this issue repeats in the near future, then I will definitely consider setting up something else.
