Hello fellow Soylentils!
We were informed by Linode (our hosting provider) that they needed to perform Xen updates on all of our servers. This forces a reboot of our virtual servers which may cause the site (and other services) to be temporarily unavailable.
Here is the two-day reboot schedule along with what runs on each server:
| Status | Day | Date | Time | Server | Affects |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Done | Mon | 2015-12-14 | 0300 UTC | lithium | Development Server, slashd, Varnish, MySQL, Apache |
| Done | Mon | 2015-12-14 | 0400 UTC | helium | Production Back End, MySQL NDB, DNS, Hesoid, Kerberos |
| Done | Mon | 2015-12-14 | 0400 UTC | beryllium | IRC, MySQL, Postfix, Mailman, Yourls |
| Done | Mon | 2015-12-14 | 0400 UTC | sodium | Primary Load Balancer |

| Done | Tue | 2015-12-15 | 0400 UTC | hydrogen | Production Front End, Varnish, MySQL, Apache, Sphinx |
As we found some errors with our MySql setup during the last Xen updates, The Main Site will be down starting at 2015-12-14 at 0300 UTC while we reconfigure MySQL prior to the shutdown of the main MySQL server helium. The site should be up by 0500 UTC.
We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we try and get things up and running following each reboot.
