503 Service Unavailable - what does this mean?

As far as I know, the status code 503 means that the server cannot process the request due to overload. The requested data can therefore not be sent (and will not be processed as soon as the server has capacity again). Further status messages could indicate when the requests can be processed again at the earliest, but these are missing.

Issue persists. I2Pd 2.57.0. i2pforum inaccessible.

503 Service Unavailable

This I2P website is unavailable. It may be down or undergoing maintenance.

Sometimes that happens to wiki.i2p-projekt.i2p as well (right now it's fine). I just mention it somewhere (terminus.i2p), and probably some people see the message and tell the admins that there are problems. And then it gets fixed.

No. A 503 means the router is up and publishing the leaseset, but the web server itself (Jetty, nginx, apache, whatever) is down. It says it right there. It's not due to overload and it's not the fault of the client-side. I've reported in on IRC to somebody that can fix it, which is what y'all should do if it happens again.

Of course, people naturally like to help, but if, as is the case here, the operators repeatedly and explicitly forbid any interference in their private web presence, then that should be respected. Anything else would be the capitalist model, in which profits are privatized and losses are socialized.
Hierarchies, in which the power of the powerful and not the better argument counts, are well known to people. Perhaps it would be better to have your "somebodys" on extra patrol, because as we all know, four eyes see more than two. We could also ask ourselves how it came about that a once committed participant leaves his both-way accessible servers unattended for an extended period of time.

Just checked and yes it is not working.
