Zapstore relay is back up again!
Post-mortem:
A bug in the indexer background process replaced 8 self-published apps with indexed ones (signed by Zapstore indexer). Main symptom for users was seeing duplicates of these apps.
Backups were there but faulty so the recovery was difficult and partial. 5 were successfully recovered and 3 were not (Primal by @npub1kzgf...ylue and Amber and Citrine by @greenart7c3 ).
Users please go to your profile screen > "Clear local storage" if you see double entries of some apps! We are working on a feature in the next release to repair these issues without you having to delete the cache.
Backups, as well as the original indexer bug, were fixed.
I'll explain:
- I'm switching off the relay to prevent bad data from spreading to clients which will cache it
- We are working on ways to bust these cache entries in the mobile app but that's not ready yet (next release though)
- If I leave the relay on, I will get an avalanche of support requests I can't handle by myself
- I'm also the only guy doing devops, which really is a full-time job in itself, and I have an appointment now so I'll take care of it when that's done. At least 2-3 more hours
tl;dr: making sure all apps are always up to date is hard.
