Hello,
FYI, I know most of you may have no idea what wm-bot is, but I don't
know any better channel to use for this kind of announcement so, I had
to move wm-bot to a new instance as old one was using deprecated OS,
which means, that anyone who is using its "netcat" feature - relaying
TCP messages directly to IRC channels
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wm-bot#Relay_of_messages_from_scripts_and_o…
will have to change the IP / hostname.
To avoid this kind of unnecessary work in the future: is it possible
to create some VIP in cloud environment so that I can simply move this
address to a new instance when I perform this kind of migration? Also,
as many users are using the hostname instead of IP, what's the best
way to move the hostname? Would it be possible to implement some
instance renaming feature?
Thanks
