Maintenance

This instance undergoes daily scheduled maintenance:

  • Redis Cache flush: every 15 minutes.
  • Drive cleanup: everyday at 00:00 UTC
  • Drive remote files cleanup: everyday at 00:20 UTC
  • Misskey service restart: everyday at 06:00 UTC

NOTE: any of these scheduled actions can be executed at any time, at the discretion of the admin.

Beware that by removing the remote cache files, storage space can be reclaimed, but also cached media like user avatars or thumbnails will be missing. It's a bug in Misskey, but there's nothing to be done (for now) since it's technical wachamacallit the developers should actually fix.

If there's a need to engage in extensive maintenance, it'll be announced to the regular channel (an announcement on the instance, d'uh). If the instance goes poof for whatever reason for an extended period of time during the maintenance period, please send a message to any of the addresses in the Contact section.
