ircDDB-Server currently down From: Hans-Juergen Date: Thu, 07 Dec 2023 12:52:15 EST Hi! It is already some time ago that I wrote here at this place. Just a quick note for those who have their DSTAR gateways connected to the ircDDB network: The ircDDB webserver crashed yesterday early morning. We have already a new cloud system running parallel since beginning of the year, but still did not do the final step and move all data to that system. I talked to our provider and they found that the hardware where our old VM runs on is completly down. They will need a few hours to fix it and we will hopefully see it back shortly. The ircDDB network still works full functional, the IRC servers in the 2 groups are up, but status pages and the registration system are currently not available. Michael DL1BFF fixed an issue with the dynamic DNS feature which was reported, it should work now again. We decided to take this issue as a final trigger and complete the move to the cloud system within next days. The old server still run an outdated CentOS version with very old perl and php scripts. This needs to be adjusted to work on current supported Linux versions. The server was on air 24/7 since 2015 without any real failure. Before we had 2 servers located in Switzerland for some years and at the early beginning in 2008 we started on a server from the German Amateur Radio Club. We hope to have the old system back again tomorrow and want to switch to the new cloud based system until Christmas: With that we should hopefully be save for another 8 years. :-) 73 de Hans DL5DI ircDDB team
