The main OpenGeofiction server requires maintenance work to address growing resource requirements. This work will be carried out Friday 28 Feb - Monday 3 Mar, 21:00-01:00 UTC.

This is advance notice of the potential maintenance windows and this post will be updated 1 hour ahead of work. Map editing will not be possible during the maintenance, and the main OpenGeofiction site will be unavailable. The wiki will be accessible throughout. /wangi (talk) 09:22, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

  • Phase 1 will start Friday 28 Feb at 22:00 UTC, with the site going into read-only mode 10 minutes ahead of this. /wangi (talk) 21:09, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
  • Phase 1 is complete, with the main site back available for editing. There may be further maintenance through the weekend, during the specified windows, so the template is being left up for now. /wangi (talk) 23:36, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
  • Phase 2 is done, and server changes are now being monitored. /wangi (talk) 23:12, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Further work is planned on the main OpenGeofiction server, to be carried out on Thu 3 Apr, between 20:00-00:00 UTC. An updated notice will be posted 1 hour ahead of the work.

  • An issue has been discovered after the server work, with JOSM timing out and failing to download/upload for a small number of users. Investigation has narrowed this down to an IPv6 networking issue. There are a few workarounds while a proper solution is found. The easiest one is to change your JOSM server configuration to instead use https://api4.opengeofiction.net/api for the "OSM Server URL" field. Thanks/wangi (talk) 15:16, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
  • The IPv6 issue was resolved Fri 11 Apr, all JOSM users should again use https://opengeofiction.net/api for the "OSM Server URL" field. /wangi (talk) 19:17, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
