Nodejs.org: Website is down

[yvele]

Looks like the Website is down 🤔

https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/nodejs.org.html

[hugovk]

And it's back!

https://nodejs.org/en/

[reegnz]

Aaaaand it's gone again.

[moritzvieli]

Down for me as well. I'm also unable to install node locally, because the server is not reachable.

[moritzvieli]

...up again.

[erayalakese]

https://www.isitdownrightnow.com is down, too 🤣

[reegnz]

Could we get a postmortem on what happened?
A bunch of tools rely on that URL, and to me that screams that nodejs.org artifacts are not spread out on a CDN.
Maybe get a deal with a CDN like CloudFlare.

OR worse case scenario: It is behind a CDN and the CDN died!

[richardlau]

So https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/nodejs.org.html reports the site as down for everyone but it is working for me at work here in the UK (but there are reports in https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/28403 that it's down for other users in the UK).

cc @nodejs/build-infra (?)

From #general on Slack:

Matt Cowley [12:24 PM]
Just as an fyi, if you can’t access the site currently it is due to a rather significant network failure that Cloudflare has: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/46z55mdhg0t5

[ghost]

Well, that sucks. Fallback CDN?

[ihsancemil]

https://nodejs.org/en/ works fine in Turkey. However https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.16.0/node-v10.16.0-x64.msi is still down so that I cannot download nodejs 👎

[pat-nomalab]

looks like an issue with ipv6

curl -v https://nodejs.org/
Trying 104.20.22.46...
TCP_NODELAY set
Trying 2606:4700:10::6814:172e...
TCP_NODELAY set
Immediate connect fail for 2606:4700:10::6814:172e: Network is unreachable
Trying 2606:4700:10::6814:162e...
TCP_NODELAY set
Immediate connect fail for 2606:4700:10::6814:162e: Network is unreachable

this instance does not have ipv6

[yvele]

Looks like other Websites are down or slow... Cloudflare? 🤔

Edit: Yep https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

[jrishabh55]

Cloudflare works for me but not nodejs, Netlify builds are broken we well

[richardlau]

There's http://unencrypted.nodejs.org as a fallback mirror.

[alexandrtovmach]

Website is down for me. Ukraine

[ericmdantas]

Down for me too. It looks like it could be related to Cloudflare's issues?

Not working for me too in Switzerland.

[gudvinga]

Not working for me too in Belarus.

[HaeSungDev]

Not working for me too in Korea

[CreatiCoding]

still to me...

[bnb]

This looks like a global outage. We are aware of this, and are doing what we can to resolve it as soon as possible ❤️

[elacalle]

Not working for me too in Congo

[rvagg]

Servers are healthy and CF is even reporting our load balancer origins as green. We're going to have to wait this one out, along with all the other sites impacted, sorry.

@cloudflarestatus.com

[rvagg]

We're back up and other sites that were down seem to be responding again now. I think this can be closed.

[zawias-pro]

What's adviced to avoid such issues (not being able to download node binary) in the future? Is http://unencrypted.nodejs.org recommended fallback?

[bnb]

@rvagg I'll lock to collaborators for now – the site came back up for a minute earlier so perhaps it's good to leave it open for a bit just to ensure that it's actually resolved.

[bnb]

@rvagg still getting 500 errors on some servers – CloudFlare issue is still opened. Seems to be dependent upon what edge nodes you're hitting.

[bnb]

Going to unlock given that context.

[meoti]

up and running

[moritzgloeckl]

We're still having some issues on the Azure DevOps Build Pipeline, due to Node.js not downloading.

[lszomoru]

@moritzgloeckl, based on the Cloudflare status it looks like the issue has been resolved. Could you please re-queue your Azure DevOps build? Thank you!

[martinwoodward]

Azure Pipelines able to run Node builds for me now that the CloudFlare status showing good. Thanks everyone!

[moritzgloeckl]

@lszomoru @martinwoodward

Can confirm, no issues on our side anymore. Thank you so much for looking into and fixing this.

[bnb]

If we go ~30 minutes from this comment without additional issues I'm happy to lock and close.

[jbergstroem]

Well, that sucks. Fallback CDN?
