The number one cause of Fediverse servers crashing seems to be the storage drives filling up with cached Fediverse user data — posts, profiles, avatar images, header images, etc.

But, Misskey and the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish, Sharkey, etc) also have an additional challenge that fills up their storage drives —

#SpaceHost is having some problems with its payment provider (Stripe).

I am working on resolving it.

One thing about Akkoma that can cause you problems when hosting it is —

It stores media in the databases.

Including caching the profile images and profile headers from random people on the Fediverse.

This can cause your storage-drive to fill up.

I've seen 40% or more of the storage-drive taken up by this caching.

It should be ready soon.

I can tell you from experience of hosting many people's Fediverse server instances for a number of years now that —

Many Fediverse software (at least currently) do a poor job of cleaning-up their various caches

Caching other people's profiles, images, posts, etc

And, this often ends up filling up the storage drive

And as a result, this is a very common thing that causes down-time for people. Probably the most common

SpaceHost update:

We have been working on making it so SpaceHost hosted Fediverse server instances can be hosted outside of the U.S.

I think our first non-U.S. location is going to be in the EU — I think in Germany.

With the second, maybe Canada.

We have the system built now. And, are now testing it for QA, to make sure everything is working OK.
