Ahoj,

(English below)

P?i v?padku nap?jen? minul? t?den v Praze [1] jsme p?i?li o standardn? 
prost?edky, kter? pou??v?me pro komunikaci s ?leny, tj. zejm?na o 
hl??en? v?padk? z vpsAdminu a o na?i podporu. Zachr?nil n?s akor?t ??et 
na Twitteru [2] a kan?l na IRC [3], kde jsme mohli ?leny informovat o 
tom, co se d?je. Cht?l jsem tuto situaci trochu zlep?it, kdy? by se n?co 
podobn?ho stalo znovu.

P?edstavuji tedy https://status.vpsf.cz. Jedn? se o aplikaci, kter? 
pr?b??n? kontroluje stav na?? infrastruktury a vybran?ch slu?eb. 
Kontroly jsou automatick?, tj. kdy? n?co aktu?ln? nepojede, hned to 
p?jde vid?t.

status.vpsf.cz b??? na APU [4] s LTE v racku v Praze, tj. nez?visle na 
s?ti od MasterDC. P?ipojen je na vlastn? malou UPS, tak?e n?jakou dobu 
vydr?? b??et i p?i v?padku nap?jen? v DC.

Zobrazuj? se tam i nahl??en? v?padky/odst?vky z vpsAdminu a pokud zrovna 
vpsAdmin nebude fungovat, informace o situaci nap??eme rovnou na 
status.vpsf.cz.


ENGLISH:

During the power outage in Prague last week [5], we've lost our usual 
means of communication with our members, mainly the outage reports from 
vpsAdmin and our email support. We've been left with out Twitter account 
[2] and the IRC channel [6] to let you know about the issue. I've been 
trying to improve this situation.

I would like to introduce https://status.vpsf.cz. It is an application 
that continuously monitors the state of our infrastructure and selected 
services. The checks are automated, i.e. when something won't work as 
expected, it will be immediately visible.

status.vpsf.cz runs on APU [4] with LTE in our rack in Prague. It's 
independent on MasterDC's network. It also has its own little UPS, so it 
should continue to work even after a power outage in the DC.

status.vpsf.cz shows reported outages and maintenances from vpsAdmin and 
should vpsAdmin not be available, we will write information about the 
situation directly on the status page.
