lisk.chat too is down


anyway, public nodes from community are available
https://lisktools.io/pNodes.php

and network is running fine
https://explorer.lisk.4miners.net/delegateMonitor



in these cases, it is better to have a local lisk node installed

install on your ubuntu machine a lisk node copying and pasting on terminal this line:

cd ~ && rm -rf installLisk*; wget https://downloads.lisk.io/lisk/main/installLisk.sh && bash installLisk.sh install -r main

then press enter

confirm with enter all questions, and with "y" the question about ntp

then wait a bit for chain to download and sync, and open the browser http://localhost:8000

so doing you have your own node
lisk is automatically started at boot

When a new version is released, you can update with:

cd ~ && rm -rf installLisk*; wget https://downloads.lisk.io/lisk/main/installLisk.sh && bash installLisk.sh upgrade -r main
