NixOS CI/CD server ("Hydra") maintenance Aug 12, 2025 21:00-22:00 CEST

We are working on our NixOS platform CI/CD server ("Hydra") that generates our Linux distribution and provides Nix channel tarballs. There will be at least one downtime of 10 minutes in this period which can affect system rebuilds ("fc-manage"). Deployments might fail because of this.

The performance of running applications is not affected and package downloads are handled by our S3 object storage independently of Hydra.

Resolved - The issue we've experienced yesterday has resurfaced today. We recovered the cluster within 14 mnutes and things where operational again.

We've traced the trigger for the issue to a potential race condition in the boot process of our Ceph servers and have disabled further automated maintenances that can trigger reboots until we have solved the issue.

Resolved - This incident has been resolved.
Aug 5, 19:35 CEST
Update - We found a stuck storage daemon which Ceph did not properly remove from the cluster. Deactivating the stuck daemon unblocked the traffic immediately.

The direct impact was limited to VMs running in the SSD-class pool. As those typically are used for databases this had more widespread impact, especially on complex services leveraging clusters of VMs even if only one of VMs was affected.

Aug 5, 19:35 CEST
Monitoring - We've identified the issue and have taken action to resolve the problem. We're continuing to assess the situation.
Aug 5, 19:27 CEST
Investigating - We're seeing issues related to the Ceph storage cluster in RZOB.

Scheduled - Release 2025_027 is ready and will be rolled out during the specified timeframe.

See the Changelog for information about the specific changes and impact of the release.

Note: releases themselves do not cause downtimes. If a change within a release requires downtime then every VM that is affected will schedule a maintenance period according to your projects' preferences and notify you with specific details about the downtime.

Scheduled - We will be performing maintenance on our internal staff Matrix chat server (matrix.flyingcircus.io), in order to complete the work started yesterday evening (2025-07-29). We do not expect the availability of the chat server to be affected during this maintenance.

Customer Matrix chat servers hosted as managed services are not affected by this maintenance.

If an emergency occurs with a project which has an SLA during this maintenance, our on-call support staff can be contacted through the emergency telephone hotline or by emailing the emergency support email, as documented on the "Emergency support sheet" page for the associated resource group in my.flyingcircus.io.

Completed - We have successfully completed the maintenance for our customer Matrix server (customermatrix.flyingcircus.io), however due to issues related to DNS caching and propagation delay we were not able to fully finish the maintenance for our staff Matrix server (matrix.flyingcircus.io) as originally intended. We will complete this work on our staff Matrix server tomorrow evening after the affected DNS records have expired from intermediate resolver caches.
