SOLVED Something has gone wrong... Cloudron instance on AWS Down... Anyone else?

[moonshot]

It appears that my website is down - running through Cloudron.io and ghost. Is there an outage on AWS that might me effecting cloudron instances on AWS? Anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks!

@moonshot Can you SSH into the server and check the logs at /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log ? You can also try rebooting the server to see if it bring it back up.

@moonshot Also, wanted to clarify the role of cloudron.io and your servers... The Cloudron platform runs entirely on your servers. It does not depend on any external services as all the services required for apps are local and in your server. We (cloudron.io team) don't have access to your servers as well.

cloudron.io itself has two purposes - to manage your subscription/billing. Even if your subscription expires, cloudron will continue running. The other purpose is to provide the appstore listing. The model is similar to how phones today work. Phones can install apps and will continue to work even if Google Play/iOS app store is down. At worst, you cannot install new apps if the appstore is down. Cloudron has the same model.

This got sorted out offline. The server was out of disk space.

@girish is there a low disk space notification?

[girish]

@robi There is but it's not "event driven". It's just checked with a cronjob. Anyone know of a way to get a low disk space 'event' from the OS?

baobab is available on Ubuntu, and it's GUI app has that capability.

Other options here:

but if the C code listed in the answer there is the approach, might as well do something similar in the box code.

Having it be a part of the standard system health check would be
