Outgoing federation check: target never reached us back

Hi!

Since August 17th 17:40, my home server is in a down/recovered loop every 45 minutes or so.

Message from service:

outgoing federation check: target never reached us back (no incoming callback received)

My continuwuity server log shows:

Last upgrade on my server was made on 15th, so nothing changed between 15th and 17th.

Is there someting I can report? Each time I go to the online webpage, everything’s fine.

I think its a problem in my code. In that timeframe I changed how outgoing federation works and how the alert thresholds work to get a more stable result. But a side effect of this is that some servers seem to not work well with that. I am going to take today to hopefully improve/rewrite the logic for this. I will report back when I get a fix out. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I reworked the code now and it should have stopped happening now. If there are any further issues please report them again :slight_smile:
