We took some time today to reboot the server with the new kernel to protect us against dirtyfrag/copyfail etc/etc.

Reddthat then failed to come back online because of a slight miss-configuration / DNS shenanigans.

This was the first time we’d rebooted since our move to our dedicated server and in classic fashion something happened!

Actual issue explained

localhost resolved to ::: (IPv6) and our lemmy containers only exposed a local port on IPv4 127.0.0.1.

Why on earth it didn’t forward the traffic who knows but I told nginx who’s boss and then we were back up and running.

I ended up specifying 127.0.0.1 to force it all via IPv4 so you can all get back to the memes asap.

Yes, it’s always DNS.

Cheers,

Tiff

      Only normal images in posts but I can’t change my own profile picture or banner, it uploads but clicking the save button does nothing (same for communities too)

        Yep! It wont allow you to save images to the user account, and probably to the community as I’m sure it’s the same error. I’m checking on the dev instance to see if its the same (which I suspect it will be).
