@jannis The lifetime plan is sorely tempting. I’m very interested in the work the Ghost team has been doing around ActivityPub, so I’m wondering if you’ve looked into it at all, and if you think MagicPages might support it once it’s generally available?

Yeah, it should be available. Once Ghost 6 is out, it will probably take a bit of time, since it looks like a few external things need to be configured, but the idea is that Magic Pages supports all Ghost features

A post was split to a new topic: Magic Pages Outage
I wanted to give a quick update here, since not everybody is aware of the Magic Pages status page: status.magicpages.co
Currently, there is a bigger outage. It, unfortunately, affects all sites hosted on Magic Pages.
I have identified what the issue is now, and am working on a fix. However, this will still take around an hour or so to be fully deployed.
For more updates, also have a look here, since this is where I will be posting more on the progress (and yes, this is a good learning about establishing a channel that is not hosted on my own infrastructure – unfortunately, the status monitoring tool I am using is useful in that regard): Jannis Fedoruk-Betschki (@jannisfedorukbetschki@mastodon.social) - Mastodon

@jannis , I’ve parked this post on a separate thread for the moment, to make it a little easier for anyone looking for it. I’ll drop it back on the other thread when you’ve got things sorted out in a bit. (Update: I did that. So you can ignore the bits below about moving threads…)
Hang in there. Server outages are no fun. Been there, got that t-shirt.
You haven’t really run servers until you’ve had a server company decide to go out of business and take the servers you’re renting from them HOME from the co-lo facility, thus making it impossible to move client content except slowly and one at a time across home-grade DSL. (And this was in the '00s, when internet speed mostly sucked. I spent several days retrieving client data that they were supposed to have backed-up but hadn’t.) There’s a reason I don’t run servers any more.

Thank you, Cathy – didn’t want to spam with another thread 
Things are more or less back to normal now. Around 95% of all sites are abck online. The last 5% need some manual attention – mostly due to migration locks or similar things.
Will grab some food (guess who skipped lunch 
) and then deal with the rest.
Thank you for your patience and the kind words I received from all sides.
@Cathy_Sarisky, I think it’s ready to be merged back

I’m currently testing two hosting providers and really like the backup options and transparency offered by MagicPages. I wanted to ask, are there any existing or planned features that can clean up unused images from the content folders? Either manually or with something like GitHub - ghostboard/ghost-purge-images: CLI tool to display & purge the uploaded images, video and audio files that currently are not used in any post, page or meta data ? Just wondering since I’ve uploaded the wrong files a few times and read here on the forums that ghost just keeps them saved foreverrr and it would be needed to delete them manually… but I couldn’t find anything in the mp FAQs.

Glad you’re enjoying Magic Pages so far!
I currently no plans for something like this, no. I have vaguely thought about adding SFTP, which could solve this to a certain degree, but this is not something that would come any time soon.
