    im feeling watched because dumb gunicorn (python runtime) is only using one core i did some restructuring based on the idea of having a blanacer and multiple instances of the site runnign on the same server. time will tell if the site explodes less first checks indicate: went from 100% on one core to 10% per core with 160 ppl on the site hammering away. so thats a win i would cautiously say

    exactly

    I always need space to rock. In other words: Donations are welcome so are you Btw im planing to rent a new server for spacedock next month (once i can afford the 100€ setup fee) If youre interrested in Specs (the main thing is to switch to SSDs): https://www.hetzner.de/ie/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex41ssd

    1.2 added to spacedock. AAAND the site explodes

    Between 26 October 2016 23:00 hours (CEST) and 27 October 2016 05:00 hours (CEST) we are planning the change the switch corresponding to your server(s): During the changeover, your server will not be available for a maximum of 5 minutes. Just so you know.

    When would be a good time to add the new release to SpaceDock? Tomorrow (estimated 24h beforehand) or after its release? Because there has been a Prerelease out for a while now i would like to think that verifying its compatibility with the final relase is a small task. So the ability to upload new Versions early would gurantee that everything is ready beforehand. On the other hand users will get a outdated vetrsion warning fromt he moment i add the new version. (This postis for mod Authors)

    Goto changelog in your mod. Seems like you cant delete the newest ver. Workarround: upload the last working ver and remove the old one afterwards.

    Back home and DNS updated to remove the Digital Ocean nodes from the system. Ive to figure out how to replace them now. Update: Seems like ive to rent another Server. This sadly results in more cost so.... If you havent donated: Your monthly buck makes SpaceDock not suck! (We need T-Sihrts with that) If you have: many thank yous to you (sorry ran out of creativity there)

    bandwidth isnt the problem here. its mostly the inefficient website code itself. (not the file transfer). And BTW US law still doesnt apply to spacedock.
  10. VITAS
    not easy to say but a topend Intel CPU 32GB RAM and a bunch of Drives dont cut it anymore :/ So im now looking at something with more cores/cpus 64GB RAM and a bunch of SSDs (Bandwidth usage is arround 200-300Mbit/s 24/7) It is possible to split the site onto multiple servers (especialy for the file server part) But that requires my trust in the server owner to not simply disapear The currewnt production code is a heavily modified version of the old kerbalstuff code. It has some bottlenecks we arent able to fix (Its mostly single threaded and does a lot of DB querys). We are working on a compleate rewrite for some time now but i dont have enough spare time to finish the frontend. P.S. I redirected all the traffic arround the first caching instance as temp fix. I hope the server sint exploding in my face :/ PPS please tell me if the site is doing better now (loading timeouts/errors, corupted zips etc.)
  11. VITAS
    On top of all the problems the Infrastreucture is giving me i now was informed, that i lose my sponsored Server nodes. I hope they will be available till im home so i can alter the DNS in time :/ IF youre starting to get 404 errors i advise you to to use http://kerbalspaceprogram.eu until i fix stuff. I also need to rent another Server as replacement (especialy with the a new release coming up). Fun times....
  12. VITAS
    im sorry. im still on vacation and cant do anything using this inet con. will be back on monday and promise to fix stuff. about the css problems: there where some site breaking things happening (before i left) so i did a quick fix that isnt pretty but works (for now). most importently: i want the site to be working and it angers me, that im not able to fix it asap.

    @Jeb Jawkins if youre in Germany too you might consider trasfering the euro to my bank account directly (so nothing gets eaten up by patreon and international transfers) And (if you didnt look into that yet) you might want to see if youre able to attend the 33C3 (Chaos Comunication Congress) in Hamburg (27th-30th December) in Hamburg. I will be able to give you Club Mate if youre attending. BTW if someone else is planing to Attend the Congress (Largest european Hacker gathering) we could have a nice meetup

    yes i was in a rush when i typed it. just use http://kerbalspaceprogram.eu But remember: it icgnores all caching layers. SO the server has to build every page you request from scratch. So please please only use it if the normal url doesnt work for the particular url/down-/upload. i promise ill find a more permanent solution after im back in civilazation. this post has been brought to you via some flaky modem speed (4.5kb/s) connection thats only available on the sidee of some dusty road if i make some modern dance pose. @Jeb Jawkins I appreciate youre donation. If youre in Hamburg (Germany) at some point in the future ill buy you a drink. Im on social wellfare for the past years (but have a (not so well) payed job starting next month). BTW what i did: i piped all data between servers trough an heavily encrypted VPN as HTTPS packets. It seems that the Digital Ocean Computing node coudnt handle the encryption of so many packets so it did packet drops. I for now rerouted the traffic trough the open internet to my core server. thats no permanent solution but one that will hold until im back with time to fix it.
  15. VITAS
    uhm try http://kerbalspaceprogram.eu its sort of a direct line ignoring the cache. note: its only if the spacedock.info doesnt work for uploads because it puts the server on a lot of stress.
  16. VITAS
    canged stuff again. is faster but less secure (on my paranoid scale). And i hope that this cures it. (will leave in like 2-3h so not much time left to fix this)
  17. VITAS
    im still getting errors (oin some mods) its that oposite-of-heavenly python code web of sparkily ponys with rainbowhats i simply dont get it why ppl love this language its performance is poor at best. (*curses*) Lets hope its the server side caches still full of old bits. if you come accross 503 errors just wait 3s then hold shift+press the reload button (that ignores your local browsers cache and hopefully forces the server to rerequest the site) if that doesnt work (and still doesnt after lets say 20 minuts for the SAME url) ive to find ways...i dont know yet. things that wont make anything better: im forced to do a thing called "vacation" tomorrow. and will be offline for most of the time. so for my RL i hope its fixed. IF not: grab some darklight if available. Hes got acc to fix the things.
  18. VITAS
    just learned two lessons: stuff goes south when you only want to go to bed and ppl start to recognize what theyve lost when it stops working. restarted more stuff (getting out of stuff to restart soon )
  19. VITAS
    i just restarted apache. my guess: server overloaded. apache served corupted files to cdn. cdn now serves cached corrupted files. solution: restarting cdn caches. hope that helps . done the above and test downloaded the most popular mods. the cfg files opened fine and looked ok. (didnt test them). i hope it stays that way.
  20. VITAS
    thats because i overloaded the core server and the cdn is doing its thing (caching stuff). i hope its getting better now that ive finished doing the cpu intensive stuff. btw funny thing: i tried to check the thread and the forums where giving me a blank page. maybe some slowness /maintenance here too?
  21. VITAS
    Hi, strange. I added Caching. So it *should* at least be more constant. I tested it using a bunch of Website performance sites and get loading times of about 1.5-2s (not stellar but ok-ish) Bad thing: i will be on vacation for 1-2 weeks starting tomorrow and dont count on inet acc during that time. Would be good if you do some periodic checks and let me know if its only a hickup.
  22. VITAS
    @Cetera I identified their hosts and blocked api acc. But theres always a way arround that. If we even have one normal visitor from vietnam its a nogo to block a whole country or ISP. (How would you feel if you where blocked because of someone elses missbehaviour?)
  23. VITAS
    I did. Thats why its hard to get anything done he isnt willing to do (e.g. remove copyrighted material). What angers me most is that its a succsesfull business practice (see how other large companies started) and my ethics prevent me from beeing like them.
  24. VITAS
    i could also offer the option of wiering money to my bank account if desired. (Individual requests via PM/ spacedock support only) Its the same bank account the server stuff is paied from and it can cut down on transfer fees (the x % patreon takes etc.)
  25. VITAS
    And you deserve a thank you: Thank you! <sadly there is no glitter button (sorry) @TiktaalikDreaming Inclunding a Readme in your mods zip is a good idea. Maybe we could offer a template for it. it should include the license, author, way of contact, site the file origionaly was intended for and some info that the author doesnt support outdated mods (and optionaly some text that amounts to "i do it for free so i dont aprove of others making money off it").
