code.dlang.org major outage

[Sönke Ludwig via Digitalmars-d]

The virtual server that is running code.dlang.org has frozen about an 
hour ago and fails to boot further than to the bootloader. Initial 
attempts to recover from within Grub have failed and it's unclear what 
the root cause is. I will instead set up a replacement server with the 
latest backup from 20 hours ago as soon as it becomes available.

It's really about time to install a permanent backup server to keep the 
registry available in such cases. I will try my best to allocate time to 
make this happen, but I'm severely constrained currently and any helping 
hand would make a big difference. What needs to be implemented is a mode 
for the DUB registry [1] that works without the userman database and 
instead just polls code.dlang.org for changes (may also require some new 
REST API end points to be able to acquire all needed data).
