ssh to tool account?
by Roy Smith 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

I'm trying to simplify my life by avoiding having to log in to my own account on a toolforge bastion and then become my tool. I tried dropping my public key into $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys for my tool, but that doesn't work: > $ ssh -t tools.dyk-tools(a)dev.toolforge.org > tools.dyk-tools(a)dev.toolforge.org: Permission denied (publickey,hostbased). Am I just doing something wrong, or is toolforge set up to disallow that?

[Cloud-announce] cloud-vps outage
by Andrew Bogott 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

We are having some very concerning instability with the cloud-vps file system. Out of an abundance of caution I have shut off EVERYTHING in cloud-vps to prevent rampant data corruption. I don't expect this outage to last long but will notify when things start up again. Very sorry for the downtime! -Andrew _______________________________________________ Cloud-announce mailing list -- cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud-announce.lists.wikimedia.…

PHP 8 support on WM Cloud
by AmandaNP Wikipedia 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

I apologize if this discussion is already occurring in a task, I am terrible at finding relevant phab tasks people haven't linked. But I assume that PHP 8 can not be loaded onto WM Cloud Servers by a matter of policy, correct? My concern here is, I have some code that just lost security patches due to EOL. The next upgrade only supports PHP 8. It has the ability to leave a huge gap in the security of my code. Is there any plan to support PHP 8 any time soon?

[Cloud-announce] OpenStreetMaps database (osmdb.eqiad.wmnet) is going away
by Andrew Bogott 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Thanks largely to dschwen's hard work, we are about to move the long-neglected postgres osmdb to a volunteer-managed project. Most workloads have already moved to the new service. As far as anyone can tell there is only a single tool still hitting osmdb.eqiad.wmnet. Later in the week, that tool will break when I finally shut down the eqiad.wmnet domain. If your tool is using that service, please refer to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T323159 to coordinate migration. - Andrew + the WMCS team _______________________________________________ Cloud-announce mailing list -- cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud-announce.lists.wikimedia.…

[Cloud-announce] pywikibot in PAWS on 2023-02-07
by Vivian Rook 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

it would appear that pwb 8 has corrected some things and the `pwb.py` script will no longer be included in paws when we upgrade, nicely the `pwb` command itself will start working. If you were using `pwb.py` you will likely have to start using `pwb` to run your code. -- *Vivian Rook (They/Them)* Site Reliability Engineer Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> _______________________________________________ Cloud-announce mailing list -- cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud-announce.lists.wikimedia.…

[Cloud-announce] Upcoming shutdown of osmdb.eqiad.wmnet
by Andrew Bogott 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

The hardware that hosts osmdb.eqiad.wmnet is long past its end of life and will be shut down on February 12th. WMF staff do not plan to support that database after that date, and the domain will be shut down. I am pretty sure that we have already made arrangements with all current users of the service, but I'm sending this email out of an abundance of caution. If you think you are using it, please chime in on the associated phabricator ticket[0] so that we know you exist! There is a volunteer-maintained replacement that you should be able to switch to with a minimum of effort. Thanks for reading! -Andrew + the WMCS team [0] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T323159 _______________________________________________ Cloud-announce mailing list -- cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud-announce.lists.wikimedia.…

Scratch database instance?
by Roy Smith 26 Jan '23

26 Jan '23

I just discovered that some code I've been working on, which passes all its unit tests against sqllite, fails when I run it against tools.db.svc.wikimedia.cloud. It's apparently due differences in the two drivers (see for example, this bug <https://github.com/sqlalchemy/alembic/issues/912>). The error I get (using SQL Alchemy 2.0.0rc3) is: > sqlalchemy.exc.CompileError: (in table 'bot_log', column 'title'): VARCHAR requires a length on dialect mysql So, I've got two questions: 1) Has anybody seen this problem before and figured out how to work around it? I suppose I could just declare an explicit length for that column, but what part of VARCHAR did they not understand? 2) Is there a scratch database instance I can run unit tests against? I'd rather not do this kind of testing against anything that's in production, to ensure I don't accidentally cause any damage.
