Sorry about that - brand new DigitalOcean instance and Anchor CMS installation. I guess I have some optimizing to do. Won't even accept new SSH connections.

  Perhaps it is hitting the memory ceiling? When a machine runs out of memory, sometimes new SSH connections can fail because when it tries to fork the processes needed to handle the session, that forking can fail. You may want to look at how much memory MySQL in particular is allowed to consume on the box. It is actually very configurable in that regard, but pretty greedy out of the box. Thanks for trying to bring the site back up (and for writing the review, which I'll read when I am able). :)

    Back up for the moment, resized the instance from 512 MB of RAM to 8 GB. Time for a crash course in MySQL memory optimization.

      Don't bother, just stick a cache in front!

      If it's just a static blog why even run a full on database engine, etc? A static site generator + CDN would handle huge amounts of loads without breaking a sweat.

        Only because it's my first blog and I'm new at high-traffic web stuff. I picked what appears to be a very lightweight and easy-to-tweak blogging engine (Anchor). Which stack do you recommend?
        • lotyrin 11y ago
          Any static generator (e.g. Jekyll) + any HTTP object store (e.g. Amazon S3) + any CDN (e.g. Cloudflare)

      Why bother with optimizing if scaling vertically is possible? /s
