Due to some upgrades that are taking place, Gopherize.me is temporarily unavailable.

It will be back this week.

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks Mat!

(not a crisis :) )

A simple way to handle the site being down. I'll make a note to check on it next week. Good luck with the upgrades!

oh noooooo, I NEED Gophers ,
thanks @matryer

any news?

Sadly, I think it's going to require a rewrite. At least in part, because some of the App Engine APIs have dramatically changed. Investigating now.

@matryer is the repo public? Do you need any help with a re-write? Asking more so I can shoot it over to more seasoned gophers than me to help although I'd also love to read the code as well.

@matyer if you can break down the work, I'd be happy to take on bits here and there, I have experience with go and with writing webservices / servers in go, even if the work is just go research the changes needed for this part or something :)

@matryer I assume the code is https://github.com/matryer/gopherize.me, correct? what is broken?

Hey, I’m looking into the best way to proceed. The problem is that the older version of app engine isn’t supported. But in upgrading to the new version, some APIs have changed. Need to carve out some time to look properly, but any help would be very much appreciated. Mat

@matryer Is there any way I can help? I need more gophers!

If anyone can deploy the code to a Google App Engine project, that's it :)

I have carved out some more time this week to have a look.

@matryer Maybe I missed something when I tried firing it up in Google App Engine (admittedly, first time using it), but the Artwork folder isnt in the repo so it seems that the deploy wont be very successful. Is this a correct assumption?

@matryer any chance you want to migrate to GCP "Cloud run" instead of app engine? I have been using cloud run recently and it sounds like a good match for this project, if app engine deployment turned out to be too complicated we can try cloud run

@clairmont32 Did you get it running on App Engine minus the Artwork folder? It loads the artwork from a Google Storage bucket, so the deployment should still be successful.

Well @alimoeeny it was written FOR the old App Engine - so it doesn't run standalone. It'll need rejigging a little if we were to put it on Cloud Run.

I'm currently following this guide to see if I can upgrade the codebase: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go111/go-differences

It worked - it's back online: https://gopherize.me/

Congratulations and thank you @matryer

@matryer glad it was an easy fix! i'll delete my project in there then

CONGRATULATIONS and Thank you @matryer
