PlanePlotter Server Issues

[Anmer]

From Bev at COAA:

Hi

Since midnight UTC, the server has been intermittently inaccessible. According to the logs, the server has continued to operate as normal so it seems to be a connectivity issue rather that the server itself.

I have notified the engineers but, this being a weekend, they may not be very quick to attend.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

Update from Bev at COAA:

Hi,

Following the vicissitudes of yesterday morning with the server, a number of RPi-based uploaders and Ground Stations seem to have lost contact.

Please could I ask, if you are the owner of an RPi-based uploader or Ground Station, to reboot your RPi to restore normal operation.

This applies to RPi systems that are uploading directly in their own right, not to RPis that are feeding into a local instance of PlanePlotter.

Thanks for your coorperation.

Regards
Bev

More server problems.  Message from Bev at COAA:

The engineers are aware of the problem.

The server is still running but it appears to be under some sort of DoS attack. There are a massive number of failed access attempts for files that do not exist and the sever seems to be choking on them all.

I am working on blocking the origin IP addresses of the attack but that may be an infinite task. We may have to wait until they get bored.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
