hours ago as soon as it becomes available.
It's really about time to install a permanent backup server to
keep the registry available in such cases. I will try my best
to allocate time to make this happen, but I'm severely
constrained currently and any helping hand would make a big
difference. What needs to be implemented is a mode for the DUB
registry [1] that works without the userman database and
instead just polls code.dlang.org for changes (may also require
some new REST API end points to be able to acquire all needed
data).

Thank you for the information.
Not sure if this helps, but if you ever want to failover
code.dlang.org onto multiple servers (so that if this happens on
one of them others can takeover transparently) I can offer an
IPv6 LXD instance.
