Why have all images disappeared from https://wikidocumentaries.wmcloud.org/?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The wiki is in the Wikimedia ecosystem, and now all the images have disappeared. If they are still available, I would like to back them up elsewhere.

The Cloud-Services project tag is not intended to have any tasks. Please check the list on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/832/ and replace it with a more specific project tag to this task. Thanks!

The HTML contains: Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

That's either a permission issue, or the disk of the VM is full or something.

This was on the https://wikidocumentaries.wmcloud.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles page. I have not done anything myself, not added any media recently nor upgraded MediaWiki.

This is the problem. A server requires maintenance and without it can eventually crash. Someone needs to access this machine, restart it, cleanup old resources that have filled the disk. And pray that the database did not corrupt.

@Susannaanas try seeing if you can login to that portal and if you can grant me access to the project and ill see if i can help.

After logging in in the top left hou should see ‘wikidocumentaries’ or be able to click whatever is there and select wikidocumentaries. Then go to https://horizon.wikimedia.org/project/member/
And add ‘hartman’ as a new member.

I also asked in the telegram group if someone has access.

@TuukkaH was recently active and created the only instance in that project

I have now freed some disk space and the images work again. I think Susanna will be happy if there are instructions on how to receive email notifications when disk space is running out.
