PL Websites not continuously pinned at PL pinning cluster or Fleek

[yiannisbot]

Context: ProbeLab is monitoring the uptime and performance of several PL websites at: https://probelab.io/websites/ Those sites are pinned in two stable providers (among other nodes that decide to pin these sites in the P2P network): i) PL's pinning cluster, and ii) Fleek's cluster.

One of the things we're monitoring is whether those stable providers are continuously making those sites available.

Assumption: We've worked closely with both the team that operates PL's pinning cluster and Fleek to make sure everything is in place and correctly configured (e.g., all nodes are running the Accelerated DHT Client) to reprovide the CIDs for the websites, so we've been expecting the situation to be rather stable. Stable here means websites are pinned to 7 nodes from PL's pinning cluster and 2 nodes from Fleek's fleet.

Results: Our results are presented under each website's results page, e.g., https://probelab.io/websites/blog.ipfs.tech/#website-trend-hosters-blogipfstech for https://blog.ipfs.tech.

• We see that stable providers are far from stable for several websites.
• We've seen a period roughly during the days of 24th to 27th July, where all sites were not available from either of the two known stable providers, e.g.:
  • blog.libp2p.io: https://probelab.io/websites/blog.libp2p.io/
• For some websites the situation continues. E.g.,
  • conensuslab.world: https://probelab.io/websites/consensuslab.world/#website-trend-hosters-consensuslabworld
  • green.filecoin.io: https://probelab.io/websites/green.filecoin.io/#website-trend-hosters-greenfilecoinio
  • research.protocol.ai: https://probelab.io/websites/research.protocol.ai/#website-trend-hosters-researchprotocolai
  • specs.ipfs.tech: https://probelab.io/websites/specs.ipfs.tech/#website-trend-hosters-specsipfstech
  • web3.storage: https://probelab.io/websites/web3.storage/#website-trend-hosters-web3storage
• From then on, the situation continues to be pretty unstable, e.g.:
  • drand.love: https://probelab.io/websites/drand.love/#website-trend-hosters-drandlove
  • docs.libp2p.io: https://probelab.io/websites/docs.libp2p.io/

This is a tracking issue for the resolution of the situation. Tagging @gmasgras and @cewood for the PL team and will propagate further to Fleek folks.
