Hey,

It seems that https://piwigo.org/doc/ has some trouble. piwigo.org works fine but as soon as i click on the link to the documentation i get a 504 Gateway Time-out.

Check from both my PC and Smartphone via mobile Ethernet.

Isitdownrightnow seems to confirm that its not just me :)

Its been like that since at least yesterday around noon.

Maybe it's being worked on.
It was past due for an overhaul, and there was talk of updating it.

nevermind . It's worse than that

I was afraid that's whats happening :(

Just comes to show that even professionally run Data Centers aren't 100% safe.

It also shows how dependent and unflexible most projects are, i keep seeing things that even after days haven't been restored. Not blaming piwigo here since it is free and mostly run by volunteers as far as i understand it, but there are so many paid services (like my TS3 Server for example...) that apparently are so overwhelmed they haven't figured out a solution yet...

The server hosting the documentation was indeed in Strasbourg, where one datacenter of OVH has burnt 3 days ago. The SBG2 datacenter was destroyed (and piwigo.com had servers there, but we had spare servers in other locations, no worry). The other SBG* datacenters were shut down to prevent any electrical fire propagation, as far as I understand.

We have backups.

OVH told us yesterday SBG* (except SBG2, obviously) would restart on March 22nd 2021. So I see 2 solutions:

1) wait 10 more days
2) build a new server and restore our backup there

Just received an email from OVH. The server hosting piwigo.org/doc was destroyed. Gonna take option 2 then :-)

Sorry to hear that, glad you have a solution, even if perhaps a tedious one

and the documentation is back :-)
