The ToolsDB service suffered a breakage in replication on 2020-10-27. WMCS has tried to restore replication of data, but that has been unsuccessful so far including doing a dump to rebuild replication without downtime.
At this point, we have a new server waiting to become the replica, but to start the replication process, we need to set the database to read-only for a full dump. This could easily take more than an hour. During that entire time, the database will be read-only.
We will begin at 1600 UTC and finish when it is done. The database is quite large, but, with it in read-only mode, I hope the backup will not take terribly long.

Hi!,
There will be a general CloudVPS network maintenance on 2020-10-09 @ 12:30 UTC.
The operation window will last for 1h. During the operation, all cloud services
will be inaccessible or intermittently down.
This operation affects all CloudVPS projects, including Toolforge, PAWS and
Quarry. Services running in the cloud might fail to contact external entities,
and connections to ToolsDB, NFS, wiki-replicas or LDAP will be affected as well.
The operation we are doing today is a followup to what we did two weeks ago [0],
and involves changing the IP addressing of the network that connects the
CloudVPS network to the internet.
Sorry for the short notice, we couldn't avoid scheduling this to today.
regards.

Hi!
There will be a general CloudVPS network maintenance on 20202-10-29, from 16:00
UTC to 17:00 UTC.
During the operation window, all cloud services might be intermittently down,
inaccessible.
This operation affects all CloudVPS projects, including Toolforge, PAWS and
Quarry. Services running in the cloud might fail to contact external entities,
and connections to ToolsDB, NFS, wiki-replicas or LDAP might be affected as well.
In the best case scenario, the changes (and downtime) will be barely noticed.
The maintenance consist on introducing new hardware equipment in to the CloudVPS
edge network. You can find additional details in Phabricator [0].
regards.

Hello Zoran,
Because of the https, a simple redirect does not work without SSL
certificate. That's what explained to me the help of the domain provider
where I have my domain. It sounds quite rational. As written from Bryan
toolforge does not provide a native system for that, so generate a
certificate. Nevermind, I will focus on other topics.

Hello,
Is there any mean to redirect an url to the toolforge url? So "
http://www.mydomain.com" --> "https://mytool.toolforge.org"? On Heroku, it
works by adding "http://www.mydomain.com" to a list, and through with Cname
record + DNS server. It is not essential, but as I bought the domain a
few months ago...

On Tuesday (2020-10-20) we'll be performing upgrades on the hardware
that hosts the postgres database used by the cloud-vps 'maps' project.
This will probably result in that project being unable to serve tiles
for the duration of the upgrade.
Things will be down for an hour or two, starting around 17:00 UTC.
