As of yesterday, code.dlang.org now points to a more powerful
dedicated server that can host the DUB registry without the
danger of freezing due to excessive swapping - this is what
happened on the 26th last month [1].
In addition to that, the server that previously hosted the
registry is now used to run an official mirror, reachable at
codemirror.dlang.org. This will be configured as a built-in
fallback server starting with DMD 2.091.0/DUB 1.12.0 and, at
least in theory, will lead to an uptime of virtually 100%.
To make use of the mirror today, it is also possible to
configure it in DUB's settings.json as a custom registry:
{
"registryUrls": ["https://codemirror.dlang.org/";]
}
settings.json is found/needs to be created in %APPDATA%\dub\ on
Windows and in ~/.dub/ on all other systems. The custom entry
should be removed once DUB 1.12.0 is used, to avoid redundant
requests in certain situations.

thank you very much for this Sönke! Is throwing so much more RAM
(= money) and power (= more money) at it going to be a good
solution in the long run though?
Is there maybe a plan for remaking the registry architecture like
adding better supported mirrors and load balancing to it?
