We had some brief down time about 15 mins ago and expecting some more in roughly 45mins that should not last longer than about 10 minutes. This will be around 21:30 UTC, after this it should be smooth sailing and you can login till your heart's content again

We have been made aware of some possible issues with logging in both via password and OAuth sessions if you have 2FA turned on. Our very best developer has identified the problem and is testing the fix as we speak.

Had a series of unplanned updates/reboots to the Pumpkin Data Server. Should be smooth sailing now.

Probably noticed our landing page hasn't really been working lately. Took some time to get it back in order! I also added a few feature requests. selfhosted.social - post feed is back - New "Join" page so you can create your account directly on our PDS - An account shortcut

Looks like the upstream Bluesky AppView is having a bit of issues tonight. Watching to see if there's anything that can be done on the PDS side. Reminder: you can still use Bluesky using one of these clients that do not depend on Bluesky's AppView reddwarf.app blacksky.community

You can now recommend squire.guide to people who aren't yet using an atprotocol app. I know I got too cutesy and this should say "create a new account"… but I'm having fun. (thanks @selfhosted.social!)

And we should be back! Sorry about that. I think it took close to , or a bit over, the whole 30 minutes. This was a bit of an unusual maintenance that is thankfully a one time thing.

Can expect some down time tonight on 04-04-2026 around 02:00 UTC, or 10pm eastern on the 3rd. We are hoping this should take only 30mins or less. Can also expect there will be some more down time next week, but details will follow.

We're happy to give devs somewhere brand new identities on the atmosphere can be created if the user has never been on the atmosphere before! Not all roads lead to Bluesky in the atmosphere. Sometimes it's to us, or other communities like @blackskyweb.xyz and @transrights.northsky.social.

ATProto devs did you know you can use selfhosted.social for users to create brand new accounts on the atmosphere in your applications? Both deckbelcher.com and blento.app uses our PDS. A user's journey into the atmosphere does not always have to be started from Bluesky. It can start from your app.

You can now signup directly on blento.app without having to already have an atproto/bluesky account! Powered by @selfhosted.social's PDS (thankfully didnt have to set up my own pds 🫶), pretty happy with the sign-up flow too 😊 from no account to created blento page in less than 1 minute!

I second this. If you are running a tap instance if you could please update to this. If you have heard me talking about @selfhosted.social's high CPU usage, it was this. There was a bug where when a tap instance subscribed to a repo and the repo changed in any way, tap would download the whole repo

This is expected to happen tomorrow, and we do not expect any downtime when Bluesky PBC does the changeover. Can keep an eye on our notice message at the top of selfhosted.social if anything changes and will send out modmail via email if there is an extended outage.

Dreams do come true. @selfhosted.social is now running on two PDS containers to spread the work across multiple node processes. Bad news. It did not help with CPU usage being pegged at 70%. It is now 100%. I guess if you're going pay for something, use it all.

Hey everyone. We're back! I am terribly sorry about the outage today. I wrote a postmortem to explain better what happened. tldr: We had a large influx of create records, which led to us learn the rate limit was not on and to be rate limited by the relay for a few hours

Looks like we have a pretty large backlog of records for the relay to process, but hoping things should be back to normal as those process. Sorry again everyone about this!

selfhosted.social appears to be having some issues where posts are delayed before showing after they are created. This affects new posts, replies, and likes. Looking into it. Details: I think we are experiencing high volume of create records and the relay may be rate limiting us a bit

We were indeed vulnerable to this type of attack, and it has now been patched. This would have only affected you on our landing page at selfhosted.social, nowhere else like inside of the bsky.app. Also, we have no reports that anyone attempted this before the vulnerability was found and patched

I was made aware of this possible attack vector last night and was kindly informed that we could be vulnerable to it on our landing page. As soon as I was made aware I turned off our landing page till it could be tested. All PDS operations are still operational, but the landing page is down for now.
