Update 20/09/2025 22:05 BST: The server change has gone pretty well – I now have automatic verification and password reset emails working, as well as normal user access, so the system should now behave the same as it did previously. Note that you might see some osdapi.org.uk domain names rather than osdapi.ddns.net, because I intend to phase out the .ddns.net domain. Please let me know if you find any problems with the new server – I will give it a few days before I switch off the old one in case we need to revert back to it. Graham.
Update 20/09/2025 19:10 BST: I think the new server is up and working for existing users – you should be able to see your existing data and upload new events. It went better than I had hoped :). I am having some trouble with registering new users because of problems sending confirmation emails, so I might end up re-starting the system a few times while I work out what is wrong. Graham.
The Data Sharing (Open Seizure Database) online system will be down for maintenance from this evening (Sat 20 Sept) until tomorrow (Sunday) evening (or maybe less….)
I am moving the system to a different server and will migrate all user data and login credentials etc. Users should not see any difference when it is back running but what could happen is:
- The app might not start uploading data even though the system is live again – stopping and restarting the OpenSeizureDetector phone app should fix this.
- You might have to log out and back in again on the Data Sharing screen (from my testing I do not think this is required, but you never know…..
You will not lose any data, because it is stored on the phone for 7 days, even if it is not uploaded to the system, and if it all goes wrong, I’ll reinstate the old server on Sunday evening.
I will update this post once I think the system is working again, so please let me know if you have any problems after that.
Thanks
