Scheduled network maintenance for opal3 and opal8

On 20 August 2026 between 11:00am and 4:00pm PDT (UTC-7) our data center team will be upgrading the racks that host the following servers:

  • opal3.opalstack.com
  • opal8.opalstack.com

During the 5-hour maintenance window, network connectivity to the affected servers will be interrupted for up to 1 hour during which websites and other services hosted on the servers will be unavailable.

Email and DNS services will not be affected.

The hosting control panel will remain online, but will be unable to apply changes to your services until connectivity to the server is restored.

Affected customers who would like have their services relocated to a different server prior to 20 August 2026 should contact the Opalstack support team to make the necessary arrangements.

Web: Dallas OPAL4 MariaDB Outage

MariaDB on OPAL4 has crashed, we're working to identify the cause and solution now.

  • We've seen no further problems since our last update.

  • The issue with database permissions is resolved and the MariaDB service is back online and operating normally. We will continue to monitor.

  • We've discovered that there is still a problem with database permissions. We're working to resolve that at this time.

  • The data restoration has completed and we are continuing to monitor the server as usage increases.

  • The restoration is approximately 75% complete.

  • The data restoration is approximately 50% complete.

  • The MariaDB restore process is still running.

  • The database corruption is unrecoverable so we will proceed with restoring from backups. The most recent valid backups were from 1.5 hours before the server crashed so we'll proceed with the restore from there.

    The restoration process varies in completion time. It may take up to 6 hours or more. We'll keep this post updated.
