Domain update and move to /app successful.
We are having trouble pulling the docker container from our registry. Will update once it's working again.

Summary
We are planing a maintenance window to perform some changes regarding our URL scheme.
We will be deploying a new landing page and moving the web application under /app.
We are also introducing the https://onclock.xyz domain.
A maintenance window of one hour and a half (1h30) has been scheduled, but we are confident it will require us less time.
Steps
The update will be separated into three stages.
First Stage
Update to our DNS records to point our two domains on the new landing page. While the DNS update is underway, we will deploy the web application with it's new path.
This transition should be seamless and shouldn't affect your community as the bot will still be fully working. If something prevents us from going forward, we can rollback easily.
Once the app is deployed on its new path, you won't be able to log in until the migration is complete.
Second Stage
We need to update our edge router to handle incoming traffic from the new domain. This configuration is sensitive and is harder to rollback as we have to do it manually.
Up to this point, you shouldn't notice any problem with the bot as it relies on internal networking to communicate with the API.
Third stage
This finale stage requires us to restart the API to updates it settings to recognize the new domain and properly redirect logins to the new path for the app.
Although this restart should be quick, if you make any commands using the bot or use the app while this is happening, you will experience timeouts and error messages.
