Scheduled Maintenance

NixOS CI/CD server ("Hydra") maintenance May 7, 2026 21:00-21:30 CEST

Security releases for Nix and for the Linux kernel have been published which affect 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 while we apply updates, 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.

No incidents reported today.

May 6, 2026
Resolved - Things have been quiet since our last post and DENIC has communicated that their services are back to normal. They have not provided a full analysis yet, but acknowledged the issue and its resolution: https://blog.denic.de/denic-informiert-uber-storung-im-dnssec-fur-de-domains/
May 6, 09:18 CEST
Update - We are seeing things improving globally. DENIC has not updated their status page yet, but external monitoring services are showing significant improvements and we haven't seen alerts for a while.

We'll keep this open until tomorrow morning to check back on the status and turn DNSSEC back on if everything looks back to normal on the DENIC side.

May 6, 00:41 CEST
Monitoring - Disabling DNSSEC for the time being appears to be providing relief. We've applied this to the main data center routers/resolvers and are also rolling this out in our other locations.

As this is only a workaround and there might be further impact not visible yet, we're keeping the statuspage on "partial outage" for now.

May 5, 22:44 CEST
Update - DENIC has confirmed having issues: https://status.denic.de (might not be accessible at the moment as it's ... hosted within the affected .de domain). It appears that there's a DNSSEC issue ongoing.

We're trying to see whether we can provide some relief by disabling DNSSEC checks intermediately.

May 5, 22:40 CEST
Identified - Global monitoring utilities [1] and [2] report major issues with the DE top level domain. We have not yet seen public comment from DENIC and are verifying whether other domains are impacted as well.

May 5, 22:31 CEST
Investigating - We're currently investigating widespread DNS issues with effects on resolution of DNS records from our platform, our customer DNS and external DNS zones.

We have found indicators of a potential widespread external issue but are following up on multiple leads at the moment.

Scheduled - Release 2026_016 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.
