Firstly, I really do apologise! CompuVerse has been down for a number of hours now, and I’m really sorry.
I’ll be 100% transparent on this, the server ran out of disk space! This sent it into a sort of “safe mode”, which unfortunately took down CompuVerse.
I have migrated all image storage over to an external server with a large amount more storage.
However, even with this, just the text content and metadata for CompuVerse is still rather large.
I’m going to investigate solutions but am averse to running a DB server over mounted storage as this is very susceptible to latency and speeds.
By my approximations we have around 2 months’ worth of disk space remaining now that Pictrs is removed. I’m looking for solutions in the meantime that will balance performance and cost effectively.
0.18.3 says it changes the way federated activity is stored, saving 80% in the database size!
That’s fantastic news! I guess they realised that the way it was previously handled was HUGELY unsustainable!
Thanks for letting me know about this :)
