CypherPad Instance Appears to be Down

FamousIncident

I've been using the CypherPad instance (https://cryptpad.malacher.fr/) for a while.
I've been trying to use it today, but each time I've tried so far there seems to be no response from the server. I've checked a couple of 'is it down' sites, and it doesn't seem like it's just me.
From the description of the instance it seems like this host is run by individuals, so it could be a while before anything is fixed.

I'm getting kind of worried. 😥

Does anyone have any information about what's going on?
Does this happen often?
What can I do?

Hello,

I believe the administrator of this instance is a member of our community forum: @Superpaul209

If we can't manage to reach him here I also have his private email address. I will write if we don't hear back soon from him.

Hope this will help!

Hello @FamousIncident,

From our public instances monitoring page it seems that the instance just got back up online!

If you are a Matrix user, you can also join our public monitoring room to get live updates and notifications of downtime.

Hope this helps!

Hello Mathilde! Thank you for your quick response, and anything you did to look in to the issue. 🙇✨
Thank you for the link to the monitoring page. I wasn't able to find such info on my own, and this will be helpful in the future.

Are there any good ways to back up my Drive files locally in case of an emergency?
Also, can CryptPad's Kanban files be opened in other local applications?

Thank you again for your help! 😄

FamousIncident Are there any good ways to back up my Drive files locally in case of an emergency?

Please find the response to your question in our User Guide: https://docs.cryptpad.org/en/user_guide/user_account.html#cryptdrive, especially the Backup item.

Also, can CryptPad's Kanban files be opened in other local applications?

Sadly no, there is no standard (yet) around Kanban applications. Our CryptPad Kanban application support import/export of .json files.
