2025

  • Improvement 2 proxy servers with automatic failover in separate data centers
    If one data center goes down, the second proxy takes over seamlessly.
  • Improvement New HAProxy/TPROXY proxy servers (Dec 2025)
    Replacing the old nginx setup — significantly faster connection processing and near real-time changes; consolidated from 6 to 2 proxy servers.
  • Improvement Juggluco compatibility
    Workaround found for trailing-slash handling in the proxy.
  • Improvement Complete platform rebuild
    New cluster setup on current OS and Docker; renewed queuing system (commands are reliably processed via a dedicated message queue server); server migrations significantly accelerated — under 2 minutes.
  • Improvement Deploy and redeploy times drastically reduced
    Instances start in under 3 seconds, redeployments in under 5 seconds (previously up to 15 minutes for 5 instances).
  • Improvement Custom Docker images
    Developers can use their own or patched Nightscout images.
  • Improvement MongoDB 8.x compatibility
    All instances migrated to MongoDB 8 — significantly better performance and stability.
  • Improvement Complete platform rebuild
    New cluster setup on current OS and Docker; renewed queuing system (commands are reliably processed via a dedicated message queue server); server migrations significantly accelerated — under 2 minutes.
  • Improvement CPU stability
    Processor power-saving states disabled (processor.max_cstate=1) — significantly more stable operation.
  • Improvement Extended monitoring
    MongoDB response times and instance creation duration monitored.
  • Incident Multi-day instability after hardware migration
    After switching to new AMD-based hardware, overloads occurred due to an uncontrolled distribution process running multiple times and RAM limits that were not applied despite correct configuration. After identifying the root cause, all servers have been running on Intel hardware with 10–20% RAM reserve.

2024

  • New LibreLinkUP workaround
    Workaround found and implemented for the Abbott connection limit.

    Faster page loading when navigating between pages.

    “xhr poll error” in AAPS after Nightscout update — rollback and fix of the affected version.
  • New Ticket system introduced
    Requests and issues are processed in a structured ticket workflow.
  • Incident MongoDB server issues
    Connection failures occurred, Nightscout interpreted databases as new; instances moved to new hardware with ECC RAM. Data loss on affected databases: 0–8 hours; other databases migrated without loss.
