Ghost / MEW front page going offline for an hour

same here, I just opened up the website as normal today, did not ask for login. Did not even notice anything changing XD

I had to reset my password, but perhaps that’s due to not remembering it in the first place.

Tried signing in with the details I used on Saturday, got this message:

Got the reset password email almost immediately, reset password using the same password as before, and am in. It’s definitely changed the backend screen for me - never seen a Dashboard before.

Now to find the Dark Mode switch…

Also just did a password reset.

All looking good so far.

Thanks @SIGSTART

Just got a notification that memory utilisation on the Ghost box is running high.

It does seem as though the new stuff is a bit heavier. If it falls over against I’ll consider upgrading the instance.

Why is snapd, mysqld, and kswap chowing so many resources?! :’(

OK it looks like flipping Ubuntu is regularly running unattended upgrades every so often.

Which is great for security, but bad for trying to manage the resources on a smaller VPS.

Open to advice / suggestions from folks in the field.

I’m with @Wyvern here.

is all just weird mouth noises to me.

Will copy your post over to the Tech Support topic in case the clever ones don’t think to look in here.

Maybe check logs? Not sure which ubuntu version you’re running, but I assume systemd is available.

journalctl --system -f -u snapd

journalctl --system -f -u mysqld

I missed this, but you can set snap refresh timer. View with snap refresh --time
Change it to maybe daily at 4am? Only person up, seemingly is @GregRedd :joy:

sudo snap set system refresh.timer=4:00

Maybe confirm my commands, I don’t use ubuntu. Last actual install is 18.04

Am amused by how perfectly positioned the MEW rhino is on the 2560 monitor :smiley:

Not sure if my phone fault or a MEW problem. My keyboard now blocks the typing block when replaying from my phone. It used to slide above the keyboard.

Will be playing around and see if it is just me…

Howdy folks. I see the new upgraded Ghost is still giving some trouble.

Now that the Ryanair chaos from last week seems to be over, I’ll spend some time to see if I can make it more reliable.

Thanks for the tips, @aldyr.

Curiously, the refresh.timer property isn’t currently set, so I wonder what Ubuntu 20.04’s default is and if maybe Digital Ocean doesn’t have a different way of handling that in its images?

I’ll muck about with it today and see what I can see.

My first port of call will probably upgrading the instance from their “standard” plan to a “premium” Intel or AMD plan. Now I just have to figure out whether we should go for a newer-gen Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC config.
