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.
This is probably the right list for things like this. If you're not
getting through to the folks you want to reach you can also ask one of
the admins to forward a message to cloud-announce, although I'm not sure
that reaches anyone that this list doesn't.
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?
Yes! It looks to me like your project already has quota for one
floating IP, so I've allocated it and associated it with the
wm-bot.wm-bot.eqiad.wmflabs VM. The IP is 185.15.56.81
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?
The easiest solution for this is to create a public DNS record
associated with that IP. I've created a record for
wm-bot.wm-bot.wmcloud.org that points to that host.
If you want to update this, change the name, point to a different VM,
etc, you can manipulate all these things via Horizon. The DNS bits are
under DNS->Zones; to move the IP you'll want to use the
Associate/Disassociate Floating IP options for a VM in Compute->Instances.
Hope that helps!
Thanks
