we had a short outage today from 12:36 - 16:41. The host machine crashed and after reboot, the spring vm didn't start because of a config error (which is fixed now), this is why it took this long.
my/our lesson from this is to setup a backup server with a sync script:

Re: server outage
Maybe I don't get how the setup works (resp. is supposed to work), but wouldn't multimaster replication be an idea to keep the server databases synced in both directions (each server is master and slave to the other)?
Re: server outage
i don't think current lobby server handles updates from database nicely... so a script which dumps db, copies to backup server / restarts backup lobby would be better atm.
problematic are user renames / logging i guess.

Re: server outage
afaik stock mysql doesnt support multi-master-replication. imo having just 1 live server at a time and a master-slave-replication to the backup server would be enough. servers could be connected via vpn.
Re: server outage
Mom-client, dadDev, im a server. There is out in the open. Hate all you want. Im gonna leave now.
Re: server outage
There will be a planned (though late-announced ;) lobby server offline time today at 10:30 CEST for approximately 20-60 minutes.
The hosting company will check the BIOS and exchange the RAM in the hopes to fix the recurring system crashes.

Re: server outage
Server is back up. Let's hope he stays that way.
