503 Service Unavailable

[teandt]

Opening 'Albums' and such from the following page results in a 503 Error.

Sorry, the requested URL 'https://vgmdb.info/albumlist' caused an error:

vgmdb.net is temporarily unavailable

The same happens in the local environment.

Thank you for letting me know!
Unfortunately, vgmdb.net is returning 403 errors to vgmdb.info. It looks like it's the Cloudflare bot protection page, which requires some Javascript execution to pass. I'm not sure what can be done, except to somehow get an exception from vgmdb.net.

I asked for help on their forum.

It seems that changing the User-Agent settings has resolved the 503 error. 0272a51
It was a great fix! Thank you!

I have checked in the local environment. However, it seems that it still cannot be displayed normal pages on vgmdb.info.
Has this not yet reflected the latest changes?

[hufman]

It was deployed but I'm guessing Cloudflare is still blocking the IP for now.

[teandt]

Oh...
My local environment has a Japanese IP address. It seems to be normally here.

Is there any information I can provide?

Can confirm the service works fine if I use docker-compose locally, but https://vgmdb.info doesn't return any search results and still gives a 503 if a browse category is selected. Maybe the IP can be changed?

[hufman]

I tried changing the IP in Azure and it didn't help, sorry.

I tried setting up https://stg.vgmdb.info at a different hosting provider, try it a bit and see if it stays up for you, and then I'll swap the DNS around.

I promoted that instance to be the main instance, we'll see how long it stays up! It's already being slammed with traffic
