An upgrade to JupyterHub is going out on 2021-10-26. There will be a new
singleuser container as a result. Currently running containers may need
restarting.

If you were running a Toolforge web tool in Kubernetes before the toollabs-webservice label changes were deployed on 2021-09-29 (https://sal.toolforge.org/tools?d=2021-09-29 <https://sal.toolforge.org/tools?d=2021-09-29>). You may need to run `webservice stop && webservice start` in order to ensure your replica sets have correct label expectations on them going forward. Otherwise you may find confusing states may happen when running webservice restart and similar commands.
When I backfilled the new labels, I missed that you cannot change the label matching rules in a deployment retroactively. I apologize for any inconvenience.
In summary: If you haven’t run a webservice stop since 2021-09-29 on your Kubernetes web service, it would be a good idea to stop and start your webservice now to prevent any confusing behavior from webservice in the future.

Next Tuesday we will be upgrading Kubernetes on toolforge. As part of the
upgrade we will need to restart all pods. This will produce a brief
interruption in web services and other tools that use kubernetes. Assuming
your services are able to survive a restart, no action should be needed on
your part.
Thank you,
Michael + the WMCS team
