Lemmy is now upgraded to 0.18.5! This is a much needed bug fix that fixes federation of admin actions.

Unfortunately the server crashed when shutting down nginx (wtf), so there was about 5 minutes of downtime as I hopped onto the console to power cycle it. This is the second time that's happened now, so further investigations will be had =)

I probably only noticed because I'm on it too much, that was very quick ๐Ÿ˜„

Can confirm that the status.lemmy.ca page worked nicely when I went to check what was up

nginx can crash?!

But seriously, this instance uptime is awesome. 5 minutes late on a Friday night is barely noticeable ๐Ÿ˜€ thanks for your excellent work!

Was actually a whole kernel panic, it looks like all IO on the box completely hung when the nginx docker container was stopped. Kinda a mystery, wondering if it's a kernel bug.

Oh damn! What kind of memory usage and open file handles does nginx typically use for this instance?

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

Our usage is really low across the board. I've thrown as much ram at postgres as its willing to use, and right now after a clean boot we're only using 4gb of ram.

Other than some poor sql, lemmy is actually really performant. There's a lot more attention on the db now though which has helped a lot.

I'll try to do a post this weekend with some data graphs.

That would be awesome! I'm glad to hear that Lemmy is performing in general and that the SQL woes are being addressed
