    We identified slow communication between Semaphore jobs and GitHub. We are continuing to work with our upstream provider to resolve this. For impacted jobs, please replace the normal checkout command with the following: retry --times 5 "timeout 40 bash -lc 'source ~/.toolbox/toolbox; checkout'" And afterwards, use cd to change the directory to the cloned repository (replace with your project).

  3. identified May 20, 2026, 01:59 PM UTC

    We identified slow GitHub operations related to problems with the network, and we deployed a fix to re-route those operations to a healthier server. Some HTTPS operations started to fail because of that. To disable the fix, you should use the command: sudo sed -i 's/^\([0-9].*github\.com\)/#\1/' /etc/hosts And to re-enable, you can use: sudo sed -i 's/^#\([0-9].*github\.com\)/\1/' /etc/hosts

  1. investigating Feb 03, 2026, 06:06 PM UTC

    Webhook delivery delays from GitHub led to a backlog of workflows being triggered all at once as delivery resumes. This caused a temporary spike in demand for some Semaphore machines. We are actively working to reduce the impact and restore normal capacity. We continue monitoring both GitHub’s incident and Semaphore infrastructure closely, and we will provide further updates as conditions stabilize.
