Johnny will remain online and in his current state for at least a few days while we continue the work to rebuild him. There is no exact shutdown date right now, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.

No. Tommy is already overloaded, and very slow. Moving several thousand more people to an overloaded server sounds like a terrible idea to me. What's the point if the uptime is 20% and each page takes 2 minutes to load?

It looks like during the raid rebuild the Johnny server data rolled back to March 8th, so we'll only be able to provide backups from data prior to that date. You'll need to rely on your own personal backups that you made over the last few months for any changes since that date. After we're done backing up the data that is available we'll be wiping the server, and rebuilding Johnny.

Verified and sent. Keep in mind that the Tommy server is very slow right now due to being extremely overloaded with people jumping ship from Johnny, but at least he's online.

The extremely time consuming raid rebuild process has finished and Sparkie is back online. All of the VPS on Sparkie seem to have booted up just fine, but Johnny is another story. The widespread filesystem corruption that occurred right before we took him offline cannot be undone, and even though the hardware is operating normally now, Johnny will never be the same again. The databases all seem to be ok, but Apache won't boot up do to thousands of errors in the configuration. The next step will be to try to make backups of everyone's accounts.

Remote access enabled.

If cryptocurrency is legal in your country you could use any of the wallets listed at https://heliohost.org/donate/ Make sure you donate at least $1 USD after fees. If you make a donation with crypto make a new post with this link https://helionet.org/index/forum/45-customer-service/?do=add and tell us the cryptocurrency used, the amount sent, and the time of the transaction. Most of the cryptocurrencies listed take 1-2 hours to verify, but Monero (XMR) and Aeon could take 24+ hours so they're not recommended. If you have another cryptocurrency that you would like to donate that isn't listed we may be able to create a wallet for you. Just let us know.

Closing due to inactivity.

Yeah, that would make sense.

I tried for 15 minutes to create a mail.ru email address, and it never would send me the SMS code. Maybe the US has some digital embargo on Russian text messages or something? I'll try it again tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for the donations. I may try creating a mail.ru account to see why our emails aren't being delivered to the inbox. We have 13 accounts with a mail.ru email address, one was registered just a few weeks ago, so it seems like our emails get delivered to some people.

We're still working on getting access to the Johnny hard drive, and we're still hopeful that we can get everyone's data off of there. It's just going to take some more time. We haven't given up yet. Some good news though, is we're getting closer to releasing the Morty server. We should be able to get the first beta testers moved over in the next week.

Resent. Please be aware that if you find both emails now only the link in the second email will work, as the link in the first email was invalidated by resending it. Obviously, make sure you check your spam box and promotions tab or whatever else place your email provider may try to hide it from you.

WSGI control access has been enabled on the domain mvt-capital.com. To restart your Flask app and load new code changes in simply edit /home/mvt-capital.com/httpdocs/mvtcapital/mvtcapital/dispatch.wsgi. Adding a blank line, removing a blank line, adding a space, or removing a space are examples of editing the file. As long as the last modified timestamp changes it will clear the server cache. Let us know if you run into any issues.

I also added the email address from this forum account to your VPS account so you can request support from either.

Your VPS rebuild has been started, and you will get an email in a bit when it finishes. Your next free rebuild will b available on 2024-08-19. If you need another rebuild prior to that date they can be purchased for $1 each. Let us know if you need help with anything else.

That VPS was purchased with an email address that doesn't match the email address on this forum account. Since this action permanently deletes data we need to verify your identity first. This is to prevent someone from pretending to be you to delete your data. The easiest way to verify your email address is to send an email to support@heliohost.org with your rebuild request from the email address you used to purchase the VPS.

We're going to be rebooting Sparkie soon to hopefully speed up the raid array rebuild for Johnny. Our main website will remain online, but you won't be able to do some functions like logging in, or resetting a password. The forum will be completely unaffected, and will continue operating as usual. Tommy users will be unable to login through heliohost.org, but will still be able to login directly at tommy2.heliohost.org. Some of our VPS customers located on Sparkie will be rebooted as well. We're still hopeful that we will be able to get Johnny back online and running soon.

The subscription has been canceled, so you won't be billed again, but the VPS will remain powered on for a month. We will email you in a month with a link to renew if you decide to keep it longer than a month.

Yeah, that's fine. Once Johnny is back online you can get whatever you need from it and we can delete it. Your existing Johnny domain can be moved to Tommy prior to Johnny coming back online. You'll need to use a different email address to create your Tommy account, but after your Johnny account is deleted you can change the Tommy account's email address if you want to. Ask for support here, not in news https://helionet.org/index/forum/45-customer-service/?do=add

Johnny started having some more issues with hard drive corruption so we shut him down to run some file system repairs. You won't be able to login to your Johnny account and all of your websites on Johnny will be offline until that finishes. Users on Tommy are not affected by this downtime.

The InnoDB repair script finished last night, and Johnny should be back to normal now. If you're still having problems with your database, or trouble logging in to your Johnny account let us know so we can take a look.

Your subscription has been canceled and you won't be billed again. Thank you for using our VPS service.

Looks like you'll need a VPS. Not everything can be installed on shared hosting. If you're interested in the cutting edge we will be supporting Ubuntu 24 VPSs soon, and you can get early access if you want.

Due to some corruption in the InnoDB engine on Johnny's MariaDB database we have put it into read-only mode to repair the affected databases. In the meantime if you use InnoDB engine you may receive errors about being in read-only mode or repair-mode when trying to write or change data. This is expected and we will make another news post once the databases are fixed, and normal read/write mode is restored. At this time we have no reason to believe any data is lost. Users on Tommy are not affected, and users on Johnny using MyISAM engine are not affected either. As long as your software supports MyISAM we strongly recommend it to help in situations like this because InnoDB has a tendency to crash very easily.
