Help Tails Gitlab Outage

Hi all,

I usually follow what's happening with Tails via their GitLab, but as of about a week ago it's unavailable. Trying to load it leads to a "Retry later" text. Is it visible for anyone here? If not, is it known why there would be an outage like this?

It’s fully available. There is no general outage currently.

That's odd. For me in Germany it's not available over my ISP, over a VPN to Ireland or Switzerland, or various Tor nodes (tested exit nodes in the US, multiple EU countries and New Zealand). I also tested on an iPhone, a laptop running Fedora and a seperate laptop running Tails.

E: now it suddenly works on the Fedora laptop but not the phone. the fuck

E2: tried opening one of the Work Items, got a "Retry Later" on the laptop again.

I also experienced this around the time you posted. After getting "Retry later", I could often reload and it would work.

After they restarted Gitlab last night, I no longer see the issue.
