Badges not working (pypip.in down?)

[xflr6]

Hi, looks like the badges do not work any more: https://pypip.in does not repond for me.

[kura]

Domain didn't renew for whatever reason, I'll fix this today. Sorry.

[hvelarde]

still not responding

[harlowja]

Please fix, seeing quite a few badges down.

[mnowotka]

Any updates on this?

[harlowja]

I'd rather not move to sheild.io but looking that way if nothing happens here :disappointed:

@kura currently can't pay for the domain. I asked him to post a donate link or Paypal address or suchlike: https://twitter.com/kuramanga/status/595856167240359939 https://twitter.com/kuramanga/status/595856110843723778

This has now been resolved. <3

[respondcreate]

Thanks, @kura!

[wo0dyn]

Thanks @kura!

[jacquev6]

Thanks!

[jab]

pypip.in appears down again. Looks like the domain was recently renewed and now the server is just not responding. @kura, anything else you need help with? I chipped in for the domain renewal; do you need more to cover hosting?

[prologic]

+1 Let's get this fixed! A lot of projects use this including mine

[josuebrunel]

So, what do we do then ? Really liked those badges :cry:

[prologic]

Perhaps do what we're doing? circuits/circuits#70 ?

[zmwangx]

shields.io doesn't even come close when it comes to varieties of PyPI classifiers supported. For instance, there's no supported Python versions, no supported Python implementations, no download format, no development status, etc.

[josuebrunel]

Thanks @prologic , too bad that shield doesn't have the same features.

[coldfix]

I suggest hosting pypipins on your own server if you have one. That's at least what I'm gonna do:) If enough people do this, maybe this will take enough load from pypip.in so it can operate without too many downtimes again (if that was the problem).

[prologic]

Yeah; I could throw em up on one of my DO droplets at a fixed URI for everyone? (shrugs)

[coldfix]

I put up some information how to host your own pypipins instance on the wiki, feel free to improve. :)

[josuebrunel]

thanks @coldfix

[laike9m]

Down again, guess I have to switch to shields.io.

[iki]

• https://pypip.in down
• http://shields.io/ had temporary 20min downtime just now (https://github.com/badges/shields/issues/481), but it works now and updates much faster than https://badge.fury.io/py
• => switching to http://shields.io/

May 6: @maikhoepfel: @kura currently can't pay for the domain. I asked him to post a donate link May 7: @kura posts donate link May 26: @jab: pypip.in appears down again. Looks like the domain was recently renewed and now the server is just not responding. @kura, anything else you need help with? I chipped in for the domain renewal; do you need more to cover hosting?

@kura Could you please respond? Donors like myself sent you money in good faith that it would go toward keeping pypip.in up and running. It's been two months since it went down again. Could you please give an update? Thanks for your consideration.

[josuebrunel]

@jab, most of people have moved to Shields.io until it is fixed. For instance this is the result for my library

[jab]

Thanks @josuebrunel, but I've been following this thread and I know about shields.io already. Doesn't change what I wrote.

[maiksprenger]

@jab I pinged @kura again on twitter a while ago; unfortunately to no avail. I know him personally and would vouch for him, so can only assume more important personal matters came up. You're welcome to get in touch with him for a refund, and I'm sorry this situation came to be.

[kura]

Hi guys.

I'm sorry the service has been down so long, I'll be happy to provide refunds.

I have had a busy time recently, I had to move house, was without Internet and now am without a computer because DHL managed to destroy it when I shipped it. I'm waiting for them to pay up the insurance money so I can order new parts and build a new one.

As it stands, I have no access to any of my code or configs for the cluster and I cannot build it by hand from my tablet...

Once I have a new machine build I promise the service will be back, sadly that could take a month or maybe even longer...

[jab]

Thanks for the update, and very sorry to hear about all your trouble. Wishing you all the best with getting back up and running.

[prologic]

Same here; let us know if we can help in any way.

[Alir3z4]

We have made some cleanup and some maintaining on the code and put the code on https://github.com/SavandBros/badge the website of the project lives on http://badge.kloud51.com/ and we're already using on our projects.

We're trying to remove the shields.io dependencies from the project and make a SVG manipulator from there where lots of code will be removed.

Anyone can start contributing to the code, testing and deployment is done automatically. Once a tiny bit of code gets on master branch of the git repository, it will be deployed to production server.

We also announced on our Community Forum at http://forum.kloud51.com/d/52-badge-kloud51-com-a-way-to-show-your-projects-badges which you might find some useful info about it.

We own bunch machines so it's not an issue for us to host and maintain the project and we would love to contribute back to community.

also @kura thanks for the great starting point on this project.
