I will be upgrading the cloud-vps openstack install on Monday afternoon
my time (beginning around 18:00 UTC). Here's what to expect:
- Intermittent Horizon and API downtime (maybe an hour or two total)
- Inability to schedule new VMs (also for an hour or two)
- Some mild Horizon dashboard changes as I'll also be upgrading the
dashboards to version 'Zen'.
Toolforge users will be unaffected by this outage. Existing, running
services and VMs on cloud-vps should also be unaffected.

Is it possible and permissible to have multiple proxies point to the same
cloud instance?
For example, I would like nginx to serve a different site (live or test)
depending on the domain with which it is accessed.
Thanks and hoping this is the right forum for such a question,
Tim
Hello all,
*(sorry for cross-posting, and feel free to share this email to other
technical channels)*
On behalf of the Technical Engagement team at the Wikimedia Foundation, I’m
very excited to let you know that after three years of online and hybrid
editions, the Wikimedia Hackathon is about to go back “IRL”, and will take
place on May 19th to 21st in Athens, Greece
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023>.
The Wikimedia Hackathon is an annual event to bring the global technical
community together to connect, hack, and explore new ideas. Technical
contributors from all around the world come together to improve the
technological infrastructure and software that powers and benefits the
Wikimedia projects. The 2023 edition is organized by the Wikimedia
Foundation, in collaboration with the local Wikimedia affiliate, the Wikimedia
Community User Group Greece
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Greece>.
This edition of the Wikimedia Hackathon will focus on bringing together
people who already contributed to technical aspects of Mediawiki and the
Wikimedia projects, who know how to find their way on our technical
ecosystem, and who are able to work or collaborate on projects rather
autonomously. People who’d like to get started as technical contributors
are very welcome to look at the list of newcomers-friendly events and
resources
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Documentation#Event…>
to start being involved on technical projects.
Most of the Wikimedia Hackathon will take place onsite, but some elements
of the program will be broadcasted online. Local communities are also
welcome to organize pre-hackathon events or meetups. In the upcoming
months, you will find on these pages
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023> information about
how to attend, the venue, travel, accommodation, and scholarships.
As a next step, registration and scholarship applications will open at the
beginning of December. Updates will be posted regularly on this talk page.
Stay tuned and feel free to share the information to your fellow Wikimedia
technical contributors.
If you have any questions or would like to reach out to the coordination
team, feel free to contact hackathon(a)wikimedia.org or comment on the talk
page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023>.
We are really looking forward to welcoming you again at the Hackathon
onsite, and we hope that you are also excited to join and hack together!
Best,
--

Hi there!
On 2022-11-28 and 2022-11-29 there has been some misleading emails being
sent: you may have receive one (or more) emails about puppet failures on
your Cloud VPS virtual machine.
Moreover, such emails were a bit contradictory, with messages like
"No failed resources", and "No exceptions happened".
There was a problem in the way the puppet errors were calculated that
has been now fixed [0].
This does not affect Toolforge.
sorry for the noise,
regards.

Hi there,
Today 2022-11-22 at about 12:25 UTC, as part of a routine operation I
reimaged/reformated a cloudvirt hypervisor without relocating all the
virtual machines first.
The data survived the reimage, but the 32 (!) affected virtual machines
were briefly unavailable and then hard-rebooted.
All virtual machines are now ACTIVE (up and running) from the openstack
point of view, but please, let me know if you need assistance recovering
them in any way.
As of this writing we don't have any automation to ensure we only
reimage empty hypervisors, but we're working on it, to prevent this kind
of human errors in the future.
regards. (and sorry!)
(!) Affected virtual machines are:
