I like codeberg and have no plans on migrating away from it, but their codeberg Pages product is...weak to say the least. There's very frequent downtime. I had multiple users reach out to me letting me know my site was down... embarrassing. I set up kuma uptime checks on it, and now I see when the outages happen.

Forget "four 9's" or anything close to that....my 30 day uptime is a measley 91%...

They communicate that openly tho:

Regular maintenance window: We're meeting every Tuesday starting 18.00 Berlin time (currently 17.00 UTC), lasting up to 8 hours. While we announce large scheduled downtimes in advance, there might be minor interruptions due to maintenance work happening during the meeting. Please be patient in this case.

https://status.codeberg.org/status/codeberg

Not sure if that's also for the Pages feature, but I'm general having a weekly 8hr maintenance window is not optimal.

That's true, but even at worst case (full 8 hour outage per week) that's still 96% uptime.

Most of my outages have been out of that window.

Github seems to be down a lot, too, although perhaps not their pages part. Perhaps you could try to have just the pages in some other place?

[–] pluge@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

That's true! I've read recently that GitHub's uptime is pretty terrible too.

My site is low enough stakes that I can live with it on codeberg. I just relaxed the uptime check a bit so it only alarms if I have an extended outage. Even so, the alarms aren't actionable to me...other than maybe announcing to my users that there's an outage rather than having them ask me if I'm aware of the outage.

Thats rough. Check out https://grebedoc.dev/ I believe codeberg itself also wants to migrate to that as well, I cant tell you how reliable it is though (I am using hetzner managed for 1.90€/m) is but I dig its simplicity.
