kanso.iriscouch.com down

[Suraj Kumar]

Hi,

Even kanso.iriscouch.com/_utils is no longer accessible. Due to a mishap, we wiped out the local repository that we'd replicated off of iriscouch. Could any kind soul help with another publicly-accessible CouchDB instance or even a DB dump? 

Regards,

  -Suraj

I'm moving kan.so to my own VM - once DNS updates you should find it
more reliable

So Cloudant was a no-go?  Do they even still have a free offering?  Just wondering.

Tho I haven't used kanso in quite a long time... I'm curious also, for an explanation on why iriscouch is unsuitable, and why the issues?

For over a year, my projects (at that time hobby-projects) were notoriously unavailable on iriscouch. I migrated 6 months ago, first to cloudant, then to vanilla couchdb on a virtual server.

Never had a single availability issue since. Plus: The apps are much more performant

And: I'm not the only one. Look here, on the iriscouch forum: https://getsatisfaction.com/iriscouch/topics/internal_routing_error-h2cz2

And notice no responses from iriscouch whatsoever

I believe Ryan Ramage has (had?) similar problems with http://garden20.com

[Milan Andric]

I've experienced startup issues on all of my iriscouch instances so if a server is not under constant load then it shuts down and new requests stall or return an error until the instance is launched, which is basically broken or annoying enough to drive away users. 

I don't know what the reason was for all the recent downtime with kanso though.

Cloudant still has a free offering and kindly offered to support
kan.so - however, I didn't have much time available and it was easier
to migrate the couchapp setup to a vanilla couchdb install. Since I
already run a VM with couchdb for the http://jamjs.org site (which
seems to have no problems with uptime) I just replicated it there and
switched the domains over. CouchApps are so awesome ;)

RE: Iriscouch - Jason and Iriscouch have been super supportive of this
project and my thanks goes out to them. Sometimes instances were
unavailable or took a while to start up but it did mean that Iriscouch
were able to host lots of couchdb instances for free, so it was a
great service to the community. However, since being acquired by
Nodejitsu, Iriscouch availability has increasingly become a problem.
No doubt in part because Jason Smith is no longer at Nodejitsu.
Hopefully we'll see another CouchDB hosting company spring up in the
future to fill this gap.

Hi Caolan,

Thanks for moving this!  Is it possible that some pieces didn't get migrated?  That is, I can't log on to the wiki and the docs seems to be a default wiki page.  

Cheers,

Mike

[Caolan McMahon]

Yeah, I seem to be having problems replicating the docs. Every time I
try the iriscouch instance becomes unavailable.

[Luke Plaster]

And either users db hasn't been replicated or I forgot my password to publish. I hope it's the former...

[Mike Marino]

I think it was the former. I was able to simply set up a new account with the same username and publish. 

[Caolan McMahon]

Yeah, I'll get this updated soon. Sorry for the poor service, but the
main thing was getting the repository back online so people could
deploy their apps.

[Mike Marino]

I totally understand, thanks for you work on this!  As you say, the most important functionality is already there.  (I've seen no interruptions and have been able to work just fine.)

[Caolan McMahon]

Everything should be up and working normally now. Let me know if you
encounter any problems.

[Luke Plaster]

fyi kan.so is down again!

[Milan Andric]

Cc'ing Caolan...
