Hello, we need to update some underlying hardware sometime between 2am and 3am this morning, which will require us going into maintenance mode.  
I’ve put a status blog post about it [here](https://status.folksy.com/2020/08/03/maintenance-mode-sometime-between-2am-and-3am-this-morning/).  
Hopefully it will only be for around 15 minutes – I’ll keep you posted.  
Thank you,  
Doug.

Just a quick update – it’s looking like shortly after 3am that I’ll be running the update, now.  
Thanks,  
Doug.

Hello – that took about a half hour, in the end, so my apologies if you were inconvenienced by us being in maintenance mode.  
I’ve been running through our various services and they all seem happily reconnected and the various alerts and alarms are all running and green.  
I’m going to go to bed, now! 🙂  
Once more, thanks so much for your patience when we have to undertake these things.  
Doug.
