Where is the Website?
Added 2019-12-21 16:49:42 +0000 UTCSo you may have been wondering the last few days "where the hell is the website?"
Well, I did a bad and deleted the local copy of the image database. Because of how iqdb works, the database is still running and can be searched on https://beta.kheina.com (you can actually go here any time the website is down) but the file itself is gone and unrecoverable.
No permanent data was lost, the sql database and the images themselves are stored elsewhere and are safe, and the database is in the process of being rebuilt as we speak. Because of my absolute razor thin budget, and lack of forethought in this area, something like this was bound to happen eventually.
I've taken the opportunity with the website being down to overhaul a bunch of things with how the server works (api, anyone?) and those updates should be coming shortly. Additionally, I'm looking into solutions for backing up the database so that this kind of situation doesn't happen again.
