Good evening,
A normal upgrade of discourse failed today. The root cause was:
* A surprise database permissions issue
* Fixed. Pretty simple
* A well placed surprise Digital Ocean outage accessing logs for k8s containers
* self-resolved after ~45 minutes. Digital Ocean support didn't respond
within 3 hours and I closed it.
* Discourse wasn't serving pages properly due to our discourse container missing
a new undocumented requirement called "terser" needed to generate assets.
On the bright side, I restored a database backup successfully. It was luckily
unneeded however.
tldr; discourse didn't have any data loss, and https://discuss.haiku-os.org
is back online and stable after a 3 hour outage.
Sorry for the noise.
Thanks!
-- Alex
