Fetching JSON or any other API hits data returns 500 Internal Server Error

[D00Movenok]

Hi there! I've been using your awesome project for quite a long time.

A few days ago I noticed that my "visitors" badge is not working. After taking a closer look I discovered that all the API endpoints (https://hits.dwyl.com/D00Movenok/D00Movenok, https://hits.dwyl.com/D00Movenok/D00Movenok.json, https://hits.dwyl.com/D00Movenok/D00Movenok.svg) return an Internal Server Error (500).

Seems that something was broken on the backend.

I have the same issue.
It affected to my projects; is there anything I can do to help?

Same!

Sadly, the PostgreSQL on Fly.io is not reliable. Zero warning when running out of disk space. Requires some time to recover ... 🙃

[LuchoTurtle]

@nelsonic the only way to fix this is to increase disk space? Don't have access to the logs (for some reason)

The volume doesn't appear to be full ... the only one that is used is 4,045 MB of 10GB ...

@LuchoTurtle you are admin. Feel free to poke around non-destructively and see what can be done. 🙏

The logs clearly state that the problem is with DB connection. It is currently suspended.

Can I just start it? @nelsonic

If it's just a case of booting the DB instance, go for it and monitor closely. But I suspect it might need a boost in RAM. Which will tip us over into the next cost bracket... let's try and see what happens.

[LuchoTurtle]

Just started it. By looking at the logs, the DB seems to be working properly as well.

The hits are looking good as well.
If it stops again, we should be able to receive an e-mail of memory issues. It's running on only 564mb of RAM, after all.

Tho it's worth noting that one of the checks is in "critical condition"

It's been roughly an hour since deploying and it seems to be stable.

I'm closing this issue. If anything happens, it can be reopened.

Thanks @LuchoTurtle 🙏
