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.~~
Edit: The PostgreSQL database has been moved. Please read https://compuverse.uk/post/277751 for more info.
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 :)
