We took some time today to reboot the server with the new kernel to protect us against dirtyfrag/copyfail etc/etc.

Reddthat then failed to come back online because of a slight miss-configuration / DNS shenanigans.

This was the first time we’d rebooted since our move to our dedicated server and in classic fashion something happened!

Actual issue explained

localhost resolved to ::: (IPv6) and our lemmy containers only exposed a local port on IPv4 127.0.0.1.

Why on earth it didn’t forward the traffic who knows but I told nginx who’s boss and then we were back up and running.

I ended up specifying 127.0.0.1 to force it all via IPv4 so you can all get back to the memes asap.

Yes, it’s always DNS.

Cheers,

Tiff
