Server Upgrades

    January 19, 2026 at 12:44 PM

    Maintenance has completed successfully.... almost.

    During the upgrades, Fire's postgres installation got completely removed along with all the data. Fortunately, I have backups, but only for the main bot. Fire Beta has had its database recreated from scratch so no previous data will be present there so if you were relying on that, you shouldn't have!

    Aside from that, everything looks to be in working order. NodeJS has been updated to the latest LTS release, nginx has been updated to the latest release, postgres has been updated to the latest release and internal tooling (e.g. Grafana, Telegraf) has also been updated

    I'll be keeping a close eye on things throughout today to ensure things continue running smoothly. If you encounter any issues, let me know in the Fire Discord (discord.gg/firebot)

    The hardware of the server has been upgraded slightly (more vCPUs, more RAM & more storage) and I am now taking a snapshot of the server that I hopefully won't have to use but is there just in case anything goes wrong

    During this time, several upgrades (both hardware & software) will be performed on Fire's VPS which will result in some lengthy downtime of ALL SERVICES.

    This downtime is unfortunate but necessary to ensure stability, security and open the door for new features that require newer software versions

    During this time, I will be keeping an eye on the Fire Discord (discord.gg/firebot) to answer any questions and let people know the current status of the upgrades.

    I'll also be around for the next while to answer questions about this maintenance if you have any so feel free to join the Discord server and ask in the #fire-help channel

    Automated systems have detected a prolonged issue with the connection to one or more Fire clusters. This may not necessarily mean the bot is down but it will at minimum result in features being unavailable

    As part of some internal restructuring, it seems that the websocket connection to Aether is not working correctly, preventing the bot from launching correctly.

    I'm currently investigating this and hope to get this resolved as soon as possible

    The issue seems to have stemmed from Fire being stuck in a loop, constantly making requests to edit a channel, which resulted in it getting ratelimited. As far as I can tell, the edits were part of the permission role feature, so I've made a few changes to it which should a) help identify it and b) help resolve the issue

    This feature is pretty old so it likely needs a rewrite to ensure things work smoothly, which has been added to my lengthy to-do list for Fire

    For now, Fire is operational and should stay that way. If you encounter any issues, please report them in the Fire Discord (discord.gg/firebot)

    Fire is now back online and looks to be operating just fine. I've made some changes that may help prevent the issue re-occurring but I'll be looking further into what caused this issue so that I can properly resolve it

  • Update
    Update

    Fire's VPS appears to have been blocked from accessing Discord's API due to exceeding ratelimits. It's unknown how this occurred at this time but for now, the bot has been turned off to avoid making requests while ratelimited.

    It looks to be only an hour long block with about 50 minutes remaining so it shouldn't be down for long but unfortunately there's nothing that can be done other than waiting

    Cloudflare's network is currently experiencing issues which will affect Fire due to both it and Discord making use of Cloudflare's services

    You may experience slow responses or failed interactions when attempting to use commands in the bot and web services may return 5XX errors

    During this time, the new website will be deployed alongside some updates to the bot. This is not expected to take long nor should there be any problems as both the website & bot changes have been tested locally & in staging

    The website will be unavailable for a brief period of time while a production build is deployed and configured while the bot should only be unavailable for a few seconds while it restarts for a normal deploy
