I host it, but I don't manage it.

Trevius will need to address it when he is awake in the morning.

I've shutdown the machine and null routed the IP address in the meantime.

Storm Haven should be safe. It is just down for now.

It was part of an attack towards Cloudflare datacenters.

That is the straight skinny.

What operating system was Trevius running?

It was a Linux flavor, I think Fedora. I can't remember. I have had it running for 3+ years now.

Someone exploited a vulnerability, that is as much as it takes. I've had it happen to one of my machines before, don't get too comfy it can happen to anyone.

Well if you guys find the problem, let me know so I can also address it on my server.
