pingoru pingoru Blender had 10 outages in the last 2 years totaling 9699h 16m of downtime, averaging 0.4 incidents per month.
There were 10 Blender outages since May 4, 2026 totaling 9699h 16m of downtime. Each is summarised below. Incident details, duration, and resolution information.
The reported downtime of other Blender services was due to [a Hetzner DNS outage](https://status.hetzner.com/incident/39cb6392-be3d-4761-a369-eaad28b8b8fc). We are temporarily using a different resolver while they are investigating the issue.
Our cloud provider has informed us that they are currently working on a solution ([status](https://status.hetzner.com/incident/ca865956-5a30-45b4-876b-69d21c255d2d)).
We were having network issue arise on the server after a reboot. This has since been resolved. Part of the investigation was booting into a rescue image, which may have caused end-users to see a warning when running `git` or `make` commands: ``` @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! It is also possible that a host key has just been changed. The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is SHA256:N4YwBAhOzaiad1j0E1Pfry2kcku2k7U1hztxjqwu1to. Please contact your system administrator. ``` This is as expected and should now have been reverted to its known fingerprint.
The maintenance has succesfully concluded. ------------------------------------------------------------ Due to the need to do an unscheduled upgrade, video.blender.org will be impacted and have limited availability from 12:00 CEST. We expect the upgrade to take a few hours time before it will be back in service without further interruptions again; expect it to last at least until 15:00 CEST Update will be provided here when maintenance is finished,
As part of planned maintenance `projects.blender.org` will be become unavailable at 14:30 CEST for a short period of downtime. We expect this to take less than 30 minutes in total (`14.30 CEST - 15.00 CEST`) if all goes well.
Projects.blender.org will have a short reboot around 14:30 CEST that is slated to not lead to more than 30 minutes of downtime; likely much shorter.
We are going to be changing some things on the machine running our code-hosting platform. If all goes well, no impact/outage will be noticed. If it does not, we expect there to be a 10-20 minute period where projects.blender.org will be unavailable due to a reboot/restart.
The maintenance has finished succesfully and services are back up. --- Because of a maintenance window at our provider, we will have outage of the following services for a period of 30-90 minutes starting at 10:15 (CEST) * devtalk.blender.org * builder.blender.org We will update the service-status here when maintenance has concluded.
Today at 13.00 CEST there will be a bunch of updates to Blender chat, both the web UI at `chat.blender.org` and the backend. Waves of downtime are expected which may add up to 1 hour.
