Monitoring

We're pleased to confirm that the issue causing delays in queued deployments has now been resolved. We expect queue processing times to return to normal within the next few minutes as the backlog clears.

In the meantime, hotfixes are continuing to be dispatched to all supported servers, and we'll share a further update once that rollout is complete.

If you're still experiencing delays in deployments or any other Forge tasks beyond this point, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support Team and we'll be happy to investigate further.

Thank you again for your patience throughout this incident.

Update

A hotfix for 24.04 is currently being rolled out which is resulting in delays in processing tasks, including deployments in Forge.

We are currently mitigating the issue.

Update

A hotfix is currently in the process of being deployed and will be rolled out first to all servers running Ubuntu 24.04. Once we've confirmed that it has deployed successfully and is performing as expected, we'll then proceed to roll it out across all Ubuntu 22.04 servers.

Please note that servers running other versions of Ubuntu will not receive this automatic hotfix, as those versions are no longer supported. If you're currently running an unsupported version, we strongly recommend migrating to a supported release of Ubuntu at your earliest convenience to ensure you continue to receive updates, security patches, and ongoing compatibility with Forge.
We'll share another update once the rollout to Ubuntu 24.04 is complete and we begin deploying to Ubuntu 22.04.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Identified

We've identified an issue where installing new software through the Forge Control Panel is currently failing. This is a downstream effect of the earlier incident involving the ondrej/nginx repository, which has been removed and is no longer available.

Failures will typically present with an error similar to the following:

E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ondrej/nginx/ubuntu noble Release' no longer has a Release file.
Forge action failed!

Our Engineering Team is aware of the issue and is actively working on a fix. In the meantime, you can resolve this manually on affected servers by removing the old ondrej/nginx repository and replacing it with the official NGINX repository.

**Manual workaround:**

SSH into your server as the forge user and run the following commands:

1. Remove the old ondrej/nginx repository:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ondrej-ubuntu-nginx-*.sources

2. Add the official NGINX signing key:

curl -fsSL https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg

3. Add the official NGINX repository (this example is for Ubuntu; adjust the codename via `$(lsb_release -cs)` if needed):

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) nginx" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list

4. Update your package lists:

sudo apt update

Once complete, software installations via the Forge Control Panel should proceed as expected.

We'll continue to share updates here as our team progresses with the permanent fix. Thanks for your patience!
