I’ve been having trouble keeping this instance up - right now, it’s a problem with proxy errors between the docker containers as well as with the Ansible scripts. It’s taking too much time to maintain. I'll be shutting down wayfarershaven.eu per 31 October 2023.
That means that the fountainpens community here will also disappear. Anyone who would like to restart this on another instance is more than welcome to do so.

I'll do my best to keep the server up until 31 Oct 2023. After that, it will likely be shut down.
Hey all! My apologies for the fact that the instance has been down. For those who are curious, it turns out that the Lemmy volumes had ballooned and taken up all the space on the server. I've reclaimed the space and set a recurring task to make sure that it automatically gets cleaned up going forward.
This shows the vulnerability of small instances run by a single admin - I wasn't able to sit down and troubleshoot the issue. I don't have a good solution for you beyond recognizing that sometimes things willl take time when there isn't a team or paid business with SLAs. If you have things you'd like to see change, I'm happy to discuss.
Hey all! You may have noticed that Wayfarers' Haven has been down. I noticed, too, but didn't have time to get to it until the weekend.
It turns out that the docker images had become so bloated that there was no longer enough disk space to do anything at all. A simple docker system prune -a --volumes
sorted that right out and I'll set a cron job to handle that going forward.
With that said, this simple issue showed the vulnerabilities of an instances with a single admin. I'm sorry for the downtime and confusion. Personally, I'll be creating a backup user on other instances using this tool: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
