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...

There are still 79 unclaimed projects at
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2020_Purge
Please take a moment to look at that page and mark projects that you are
using. Unclaimed projects will be in danger of shutdown on December 1st.
Thank you to those of you who have already acted on to this.

No, Toolforge does not currently have any native system for using
vanity domain names.

maintenance for ToolsDB (user-writeable database service)
Message-ID: <7ACF9B47-3D3F-473C-AD1C-730D7CF7273B@wikimedia.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
On Tuesday 2020-10-27 at 1600 UTC, ToolsDB, the user database service provided by Toolforge (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Database#User_databases <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Database#User_databases>) will see some service interruption from restarts and will be set to read-only mode during a scheduled failover. The failover must be done to protect data and minimize downtime while the hypervisor goes down for upgrades.
Tools may need to restart in order to reconnect during this time and nothing will be able to write to the database tables until failover is completed.
After failover, services should resume as normal, and we will announce when it is done. The process will take some time because we must copy over several databases by hand due to three temporarily unreplicated tables being repaired while things are in read-only mode and the four databases that are always unreplicated being copied (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Database#ToolsDB_Backups_and_Replication <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Database#ToolsDB_Backups_and_Replication>). I expect at least half an hour in read-only mode, but things could take longer or shorter time depending on volume of data to copy and issues encountered during the process.
Details are on Phabricator at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263679 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263679>

I think that you can make a redirect in the panel of the provider where you
bought the domain. :)
Best regards,
Zoran.
