The nimble.directory domain is returning 502, Bad gateway since a few days. At first, I thought it was transitory and didn't bother reporting it, but now it appears to be a long standing issue.

If this is an "official" resource (I'd think so since it is linked prominently under the documentation link), please bring it back up.

As far as I know it's semi-official, but thanks for reporting. As for alternatives, a good one is https://nimpkgs.dayl.in. And for a honourable mention there's also https://nimble.eu.org.

Talked to the maintainer who simply wasn't aware that it had gone down. It should be back up again now!

Is up but slow. I think the problem is /search, that is too large, if isn't in cache, a DoS attack vector. Or even if any bot is trying to index that page.

I couldn't find their contact details on the site. If you want, you could let them know that you can get free email notifications when the site is down using downnotifier.com.

the nimble.directory is down quite often these days.

Maybe running the website with commands like retry could help to run automatically after crash.

Systemd service?

BUT it should not crash when it crashes it must be fixed!
