      There appears to be an issue with our Elasticsearch cluster that is causing the instance to fail. We are currently investigating the issue.

    • identified · Jun 06, 2026, 09:46 PM UTC

      The issue seems to be incredibly high timeouts on Hetzner volumes, causing components with high-throughput volumes like Elasticsearch to degrade and fail. Search has temporarily been disabled while we investigate this issue and attempt to work around it.

    • monitoring · Jun 06, 2026, 10:26 PM UTC

      Search functionality has been restored and volume timeouts seem to have been fixed. We will continue to monitor the situation.
