Service become unavailable in Russia #277

Closed iron-cherep closed 6 years ago

iron-cherep commented 6 years ago

Month ago russian government started blocking Telegram messenger and by the way (maybe temporary) blocked millions of IP addresses including some of Amazon subnetworks. All this time Wpackagist was totally available, but two days ago it become unreachable - both website and composer repository.

As i can see wpackagist.org is hosted at ip 34.246.216.155, which is actually blocked (General Prosecutor’s Office decision "27-31-2018/Ид2971-18" dated the 16 April 2018).

Is there a way to fix it? Not the russian government i mean, but availability of service. Maybe we could do a mirror somehow? This problem totally ruins our normal workflow.

wpackagist.org is hosted on Amazon Web Services. I could add a second web server in a different AWS region, do you think this would help? Which region should I choose?

It is possible to run WPackagist yourself quite easily, there are setup instructions in the README.

For a quick fix, I run a mirror which is hosted in Frankfurt using DigitalOcean. You can try it by replacing the repository URL in composer.json with: https://wpackagist.wpsv.se/

@joaquimds I think it'd be quite nice actually to have a mirror in eu-central-1, us-west-1 and ap-south-1 to cover the biggest developer areas and then use Route 53 Geolocation routing policy to route to the closes geographic location. 👍

@joaquimds that would be totally awesome if that is possible. Here is list of amazon regions with their availability status: https://rkn.darkbyte.ru/amazon.php

@iron-cherep As a quick fix, I'm trying to get an elastic IP in one of the reachable blocks on the website you provided.

Can you check that you can do curl 52.212.28.248 -H "Host: wpackagist.org"?

iron-cherep commented 6 years ago

@joaquimds yep, checked and it works, returns site html as it's supposed to :+1:

joaquimds commented 6 years ago

@iron-cherep OK great. I'll start switching the DNS now, which takes about 3 hours. You can save this time by updating your hosts file to point wpackagist.org to 52.212.28.248

@joaquimds yeah it works now :rocket: thank you so much for such rapid reaction :1st_place_medal:
