Merry Christmas to me! @SandstormIO transfer to self-hosted server underway.

Sandstorm Oasis (Sandstorm's paid hosting service) will be shutting down at the end of the year. We looked at it, and it just makes much more sense for people to be self-hosting at this point. We added a mass transfer feature to make it easy to switch. https://t.co/rYnYBLrtLM

@TGamerInsideES @AvixGames @WidowGames @blyts @monomyto @pixodust @webcoregames @1SimpleGame @PosibillianTech @madbricksprod @PomeloGames @Google @PressOverNews @latamVGF Wrong Sandstorm. I think you meant @sandstormi.

[Sandstorm.IO @SandstormIO]

@rlaf Hmm, how long did it take to update? It's supposed to check every minute.

[Sandstorm.IO @SandstormIO]

@mjackson @googlecloud It's what the `gcloud` tool printed to the console when trying to create an instance.

[Sandstorm.IO @SandstormIO]

Sandstorm Oasis is currently down because our upstream hosting provider, @GoogleCloud, has apparently run out of compute resources in zone us-central1-f, which is where all our data lives. I didn't know this could happen, and I am currently investigating what we can do about it.

[Sandstorm.IO @SandstormIO]

@wickedlogic @skgsergio @googlecloud Yeah we aren't hitting any quotas. We have 8 instances, and we've had those same 8 instances for months. AFAICT from the logs, Google actually stopped an existing instance and then wouldn't let it start up again due to being out of resources.

[Sandstorm.IO @SandstormIO]

@tmclaughbos @googlecloud No. https://t.co/2lsSUmNuKf

[Sandstorm.IO @SandstormIO]

@googlecloud Service is now fully restored.

[Sandstorm.IO @SandstormIO]

@googlecloud Oasis is almost done warming up. Service will be completely restored shortly. I apologize for the inconvenience.

[Sandstorm.IO @SandstormIO]

We weren't happy about discontinuing the Oasis free plan. But, on the bright side, Sandstorm has reached cash-flow-neutral as a result: https://t.co/4RUNZ9Ugyl
