Vorg Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Getting emails also now, but unless you still have servers to move, I don't see anyway to check the current email on file or change it if you get a different email, for those that rely on ISP's for email and chase after current best deals.

VITAS Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Yes youre right. You cant change your email address atm. Unless i find a bunch of python devs im unable to change that. sorry. Im simply to busy to add features to the site. Moving Servers is a permanent thing. Theres always change in the infrastructure. E.g. The G20 summit is where one rack is located and i cant get to it until thats over (see todays images below), so i had to move stuff off there untill i can gurantee that i can fix stuff it it breaks. Then theres stuff that breaks and adjustments in resources dependiong on that months donations. SpaceDock is a busy site so i need to work on it all the time. Life would be great if i wasnt the only one maintaining it. (apart from Thomas coding on future versions) Update: i hope they dont burn down the servers there are thick smoke clouds i can see from here over the area. Update My Servers still exist But there was some massive destruction on the streets arround the Building (burning cars, destroyed shops and the like). Its all cleaned up now and i will check on the systems tomorrow. https://www.reuters.com/news/picture/protesting-the-g-idUSRTX3ABM0 https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-g20-germany-protests-idUKKBN19S1BB?il=0 Edited July 10, 2017 by VITAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shdwlrd Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I keep getting a HTTP 500 error when I try to go to the KSP section. I can get into the other sections, I can even download mods, if they are being followed. I just can't get to the KSP front page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jansel80Gaming Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Good Day! I was attempting to download a mod in spacedock (SM Marine and some similar mods) but when i click download, it tells me that it took too long to respond then an error saying ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT This has been happening since the server downtime yesterday (and also the day before yesterday). (July 8, 2017-July 10, 2017) Edit (This was saved as a draft): Now i go into it and it says it broke with this thing that says "500 Internal Error"...

Stone Blue Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere in the thread, but, does anyone know what the optimal image size is to fit the image header on top of your mod page?@VITAS ?? EDIT: Ok, after over an hour of messing around, I think i got a good ratio.... ~3.75:1 (WxH)... I got a 1500x400 image to "fit"... ???... vOv Edited August 6, 2017 by Stone Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VITAS Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 i dont know if there is an optimal image size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas P. Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The header that contains the image has a maximal height of 400px, so an optimal image would be 400px high. The width is a bit trickier. There is no fixed value, it is stretched based on your screen size (or not). For example, if the image isn't wide enough, this happens: Most people have a screen width between 1300 and 1900, so my guess would be that something in the middle of that (1500px - 1600px) would be the best choice. But because SpaceDocks CSS is junk, there is no real *best* choice. And while writing this I saw the edit and that @Stone Blue already figured out what I just said. So I dont know why I am sending this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VITAS Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 the css is kerbalstuffs modification of bootstrap, that i in turn modified to look like it does. SO dont expect it to look like you want by overwriting it another time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Blue Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Other than some text and minor elements, I got it mostly where I want it: ZERO percent white, except a few buttons and text... :thumbs_up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant get some elements to change the way I want... In case you are interested in helping with SpaceDock's development (especially on the frontend side of things), you could take a look at theese two repositories: https://github.com/KSP-SpaceDock/SpaceDock-Backend - A rewrite of SpaceDock's database logic into a backend that communicates with a (seperate) frontend through AJAX https://github.com/KSP-SpaceDock/OpenDock - An older version of the SpaceDock frontend, that we (@RockyTV and myself) are porting to the new backend (with the hope that we can use it as the official frontend at some point) Any help would be highly appreciated. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VITAS Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hi, somehow Apache was stuck. i just restarted it. Sorry about that. Im also debating to move servers soon. It comes down to: do i want to have the hussel to migrate everything i set up since 2011 and think that 2011 is old enough for server hardware to get something newer. (And it also depends on my predictions regarding donations in the future) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKurgan Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thank you. The site seems to be working fine, it doesn't seem slow by comparison to other sites with a similar ammount of content. Is the hardware causing any issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeThinker Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Site is down. what is the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VITAS Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Me trying to be on Holliday and the apache server beeing unresponsive/crashing (dont ask my why) was the problem. Fixed and Sorry Regading my thought on switching Servers: the Database is slow and spacedock is very sensetive to any other service running on the same system (e.g. antispam gateway). i also think, that the site could be way more responsive. Especialy for unbuffered loads (first time visits) Edited August 28, 2017 by VITAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VITAS Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Update: I decided to rent a new server for SpaceDock (and eventualy get rid of the existing main server) The current main server has the following specifications: i7 2600 (Sandy Bridge) 32GB RAM 2x2TB Magnetic HD 1Gbit/s The new one has: AMD Ryzen 7 1700x 64GB RAM 2x 500GB SSD 1Gbit/s Its a bit more Expensive (than the current one as well as similar newer intel ones with ssd) but the added cores and memory hopefully speed up the database an thus the site. You can also see that the current server is in use by me since 2011 so even exchanging it for some similar intel system from today would bring me some performance gain. Migration will take quite a while, because im busy at work and my motivation to do even more sysadmin stuff after work isnt that great. Theres also a bunch of services (like email) that arent as easy to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKurgan Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) From your perspective I guess the server seemed less then ideal, from my perspective, it seemed fine... I know there is a little down time once in a while, but nothing intolerable. I don't think you needed to go through the trouble and extra expense. Your site and the service it provides to the modding community is invaluable!! Thanks!! Edited September 11, 2017 by TheKurgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
