Online version down (Application error)

[vmavromatis]

I am trying to access the online Heroku app, yet the website displays an error:

Thank you,
Vasilis

Hi @vmavromatis yes, it's been a bit popular this month and we've used our quota on Heroku.

I'm trying to bring up a copy on Google appspot at the moment. Please bear with us.

Thanks for reporting!

For ease of other people finding this issue: the affected web app is https://openapi-converter.herokuapp.com

[vmavromatis]

Keep up the good work, looking forward.

Would you be able to test the backup version at http://openapi-converter.appspot.com/ ?

The validation badge on the top-left is showing invalid, but I think that's just because the Heroku instance is down and the link still points there.

Would you be able to test the backup version at http://openapi-converter.appspot.com/ ?

Gladly. However I paste my JSON and get redirected to:
http://openapi-converter.appspot.com/api/v1/convert with a page body that prints:

{
  "status": true
}

[MikeRalphson]

If you untick the validate box - does that fix it? I should probably ensure that defaults to off...

[vmavromatis]

Yes, that was it! Thank you, seems to have worked fine.

[MikeRalphson]

Thanks for testing. I'll leave this issue open until the Heroku quota resets on October the 1st.

@MikeRalphson Not sure if it's any use but you can extend to 1000hrs with a CC

[MikeRalphson]

@vmavromatis thanks, but I've got a grandfathered account with 1,550 free hours and I'm still running out! I need to move one of the apps on that account elsewhere but still deciding which one and where.

[vmavromatis]

@MikeRalphson There's an open-source alternative https://github.com/githubsaturn/captainduckduck which you could setup on your own server or AWS. I haven't tried it but there's a reddit thread about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/78lwoy/open_source_heroku/

Not sure if it's of any use on this case tbh

[ForsakenHarmony]

my mirror is still up if anyone needs it (also updated to the latest version)

[MikeRalphson]

Thanks @ForsakenHarmony. Heroku version available again.
