Oh yeah, that domain could be an issue if changing it means having to update/replace the firmware on old embedded devices. I'll put it back for now for you as an alias so you have both. It could take up to 2 hours to work, and will show the same content as the .us domain. In the meantime, please update your service/documentation so that new users and updates going forward will access your service through the .us domain instead. There will eventually be a point where we eliminate the remaining .org domains from user accounts.

[Solved] My account is suspended?
wolstech replied to keibeeit's topic in Suspended and Queued Accounts
You got suspended for high server load, specifically load coming from systemd. In your case, it appears to be that you left an SFTP session open too long, though this can also be caused by overusing scheduled tasks (typically running them too frequently). Please be sure to disconnect from SFTP when you're done using it. Leaving connections open can get you suspended, as SFTP uses CPU just to sit there and do nothing with the connection open. Unsuspended. It might take up to two hours before your domains work again. Edit: The unsuspend is taking a little longer than I expected. You'll be unsuspended shortly.. -
[Solved] Recovering my website and databases
wolstech replied to rafasan's topic in Escalated Requests
You can download the data we were able to recover here: https://heliohost.org/backup/ In your case, it looks like the backup is from 2024. Newer files may be available for your account, but newer databases will not be. Would you like me to have Krydos take a look? Directions for unpacking the backup are here: https://wiki.helionet.org/Account_Backups#How_to_Extract_Your_Account_Data_from_the_Backup_File After you unpack it, you'll manually rebuild your site using the data from the backup. -
The .org domains are no longer available to users (they haven't been available for several years now), but users who had one were allowed to keep using it up until their account was deleted or until it was changed by the user. All Johnny users lost those domains during the crash because all Johnny accounts were deleted as a result of it. You can use the .us one and just upload the files into httpdocs like you normally would. Assuming your software is built decently, it shouldn't matter what domain you're using for it. Note that for some apps like Wordpress you may need to edit the database to change the domain in the settings table.

You should be able to open that file without the extension (it should be a .tar file without the extension, if whatever tool you're using won't open it, you can rename it and put a .tar on it so it will open). .tzst is a .tar inside of z-standard. The actual files you had in your home folder are inside that extensionless tar file. You then upload the actual files back into your home folder through the file manager or SFTP just like you did when you originally set your account up.

Invite sent. Recreating the account just gives an empty account, there is no automatic restore of any data. Escalating to Krydos to see what newer data is available for you.

[HH#417112] Request for Account and Website Recovery
wolstech replied to HelioHost's topic in Email Support
I've asked about the possibility of a newer backup in a staff channel for you. I'm not sure how quickly I'll get a response though as it is a federal holiday here in the USA today. I'll update this when I receive a response about the newer backup. -
You have to unpack it on your PC using a tool like 7zip and restore the files inside manually. It should just be a tar.gz file of the files in your old account's home folder. The backups from the crashed Johnny cannot be restored automatically.
-
Since that domain is already on your account as the main domain, the only thing you need to do is set your domain's name servers at your registrar to ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org and the domain should work. Note that HelioHost is not a registrar (we're only a host). You need to set the name servers on the registrar's website where you purchased the domain.

Your account wasn't eligible for automatic recreate because it was suspended for a TOS violation (specifically, disposable email address) at the time of the crash. Per our Terms of Service, disposable email addresses are not allowed. Please provide a valid, non-disposable, email address so we can reinvite you. Krydos can assist with the backup piece. There is a backup from 2024-07-25 (the last Johnny crash) available for your account, and I suspect there may also be an archive from August 2024 that could be used as a backup too, since there was an unarchive event in the logs for it. Newer files (but not databases) may be recoverable from the crashed server as well.

[HH#417112] Request for Account and Website Recovery
wolstech replied to HelioHost's topic in Email Support
The account wasn't "closed" intentionally, bur rather it was lost in a server crash. We had no idea Johnny was going to crash until he just stopped working. There were two News posts made regarding this: https://helionet.org/index/topic/67733-when-it-rains-it-pours/ (when Johnny crashed) and https://helionet.org/index/topic/67995-johnny-upgrade/ (when it was finished being rebuilt). Backups can be accessed here if available: https://heliohost.org/backup/ It looks like you already downloaded yours. A more recent copy of the files from your account's home folder might be available if you need them (if needed, please let us know so we can check), but databases were not recoverable from the crashed server. As a reminder, the creation and storage of backups are the user's responsibility. While backups are sometimes created in the ordinary course of operation to provide various features such as account archiving, HelioHost does not routinely back up user accounts, and expressly disclaims liability for data loss and associated consequential damages in our Terms of Service (https://wiki.helionet.org/Terms, third bullet from the bottom, as well as the "Service Disclaimer" section) for reasons such as this. -
[HH#901219] Request to Restore My HelioHost Account

That account was lost in the recent Johnny crash. An invite for a replacement Johnny account has been sent to you. Please click the link in that email to recreate your account. -
[Solved] Request to Add Subdomains to My HelioHost Account
wolstech replied to Texus's topic in Customer Service
Johnny accounts have a limit of 5 domains (one of which must be your main domain), so you cannot request 9 extra domains. https://helionet.org/index/topic/66787-domain-limits/ If you want to request all of these, you will need to upgrade to Tommy first. Otherwise, please specify 5 that you want added, and which one you want as your main domain. -
[Solved] Donation to Morty account
wolstech replied to douglaswebster21's topic in Escalated Requests
$6 ($5 + $1 bonus) has been added to your account, giving you a total balance of $6.4521. Thank you for your payment. -
I don't see your username lubash in the backup system, so I can't find the backup to see what format it is in. Keep in mind that users cannot restore a complete pleskbackup_*.tar file by design. It MUST be unpacked and manually restored. If your backup file is called pleskbackup-<username>.tar, then these are the instructions to get your files out of the backup: https://wiki.helionet.org/Account_Backups#Access_Your_Files Once you get the files out, you upload them manually via SFTP or Plesk. If it's called <username>_2026-05-08.tar (or similar, date may vary), you just open it in 7zip or a similar program and extract the files, then upload the ones you need. Depending on what data was available, there will either a folder full of files from your home directory, or a folder of files alongside a pleskbackup_<username>.tar (which will contain an older backup that also has databases in it).
-
We're not sure what you're asking here. If you mean you want to restore a backup you have on your computer, you have to unpack it and restore the files. Depending on the format, it will either be a plain tar.gz file (which you can open with something like 7zip and upload the files inside), or a plesk backup (see here for instructions to unpack that and get the files and databases). There is no way automatically import a user-provided backup.

You need to reduce the frequency of your scheduled tasks (preferably to no more than once every 15 minutes), and make sure your code exits quickly. The jobs causing this look to be that collector_control and ogn_bridge_control task. Scheduled tasks keeps your system account logged in when they're running, and since those two tasks are running every minute/two minutes, your account is "awake" constantly and wasting CPU. You were close to yet another suspension today, so we turned your tasks off to prevent the suspension for you. Please reduce the frequency of the jobs. If you receive a third load suspension, you will be required to buy a Morty account to be unsuspended again. EDIT: It is indeed those two tasks. This is your load chart an hour after I turned them off. Nice big cliff when the tasks stopped.

Do you want iqpc.cc to redirect to iqpc.info, or just show the same content as iqpc.info while still showing iqpc.cc in the address bar?
