Key errors on toolsdb database
by Russell Blau 09 Dec '22

09 Dec '22

This morning I'm getting a bunch of errors that look like the following: ERROR: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS admin_list ( admin varchar(255) binary NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (admin) ) ENGINE=InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC: Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes I don't know whether this might be related to yesterday's database outage. I also don't understand the error message, since the primary key clearly is 255 bytes, which is less than 767. -- Russell Blau russblau(a)imapmail.org

[Cloud-announce] small toolsdb outage, just now
by Andrew Bogott 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

While troubleshooting an infrastructure issue I just now accidentally triggered a reboot of a few VMs, including the primary host of toolsdb. If you see a little storm of alert in your tool logs about timeouts and disconnections, that was what that was. Everything should be back to normal now! -Andrew _______________________________________________ Cloud-announce mailing list -- cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud-announce.lists.wikimedia.…

multiple proxies to same cloud vps instance
by Tim Moody 30 Nov '22

30 Nov '22

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

Save the date: Wikimedia Hackathon 2023 in Athens, Greece, on May 19-21
by Léa Lacroix 30 Nov '22

30 Nov '22

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, -- *Léa Lacroix *(she/her) Hackathon Event Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>

Puppet error emails on 2022-11-28
by Arturo Borrero Gonzalez 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

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.

Some Cloud VPS virtual machines briefly unavailable today (and rebooted)
by Arturo Borrero Gonzalez 22 Nov '22

22 Nov '22

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!) (!)
