release download hangs and returns 504 #2749

Comment

I’m trying to download a .tar.gz archive of my repo:

curl 'https://codeberg.org/goldstein/classified/archive/main.tar.gz' -v -o classified.tar.gz

it hangs for ten minutes and then returns HTTP 504. I think it is probably distinct from #2596, as it is not a db modification, but an archive download (which is not mentioned anywhere in that thread I think), and started (for me) recently

side note: it would be nice to have a way to learn about issues like that. codeberg status does not report stuff like "elevated 5xx levels", but it could be useful to be able to gauge the scale of the problem.

10 minutes looks like we’re hitting this particular timeout:

which does say that it issues a write to database and goes to s_forgejo_main:

so maybe it is the same as #2596.

Is it still an issue for you? It seemed that it resolved last night.

it is intermittent, so I’m not hitting it right now, but I’m not sure if it’s reliably fixed or just temporarily gone. I was able to get through a couple times yesterday, but then it broke again.

Ok, thanks for your confirmation! Codeberg admins are aware of the issue.

"Probably some crawler looking for their latest training data."

There was a high influx of archive requests which simply meant the queue was really large and new requests would took a hour or so to complete. I've not observed this spam again in the last two days and archive requests should just be working again for the last two days. Nothing actionable left.
