Hey, I tried to scale up my server mid hn ride and now I'm just getting a 404. I'm not experienced with doing this, and I can log into the server and everything seems to be working/up to date. So I don't understand why it's not working. I'm using a Hetzner, and I'm bummed :(

Make sure you remounted /var/www after your server rebooted.

  Hey, I'm a server n00b. Do you know where I would do that? Or what that means in more layman's terms?

  Hey, thanks for writing to me. I'm using Hetzner Cloud. They have a 'Rescale' option which I used. To activate it I had to turn off my server. I did that. Then rescaled and it went on again. When I log into my server or run 'git push dokku master' everything seems the same/is up to date. But getting a 404 for the entire app. Server logs seem to be ok (found with dokku logs taaalk -t). So I'm just very confused and very sad. The server still has the same IP address. It is also saying: server.request_console taaalk taaalk Joshua Summers 8 minutes ago server.request_console taaalk taaalk Joshua Summers 18 minutes ago server.change_type taaalk taaalk Joshua Summers 37 minutes ago server.stop taaalk taaalk Joshua Summers 39 minutes ago server.request_console taaalk taaalk Joshua Summers 2 months ago This server.request_console is new...

    I have some hours before bed that I could use to take a look at this. Shoot me an email with SSH credentials if you want some free help.

This is why standardized solutions like K8s are necessary (or at least a managed container platform). Right now we have no idea about your stack or how it is hosted. With containers it wouldn't have mattered. And with K8s it would have been a simple `kubectl scale deploy/taaalk --replicas 10` regardless of on-prem, cloud X, Y or Z.

  > regardless of on-prem, cloud X, Y or Z Are you speaking from experience? Because my experience with k8s is far from that.
  - harpratap 6y ago
    Yes. Our on-prem works a lot like GKE, for users the difference is negligible.

      That's great. Glad someone is having that experience.

  The guy has a single web app. Not sure using kubernetes would make it easier.

    AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Run are pretty easy to use for a single web app.

You should stick to solutions like Heroku, netlify, github pages, etc., if you don't have enough experience to manage your own stack. Plenty of people who DO have that experience still prefer highly-managed, autoscaling solutions.
