Webservice will try to pull settings from the service.manifest file, but the best practice is to use a webservice template file <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Web#Webservice_templates>. This is something all tool operators running a webservice should do, as it prevents you from forgetting parameters. With a service.template file, all you have to do is `webservice start`.

If you're running python or ruby or something else you need to run whatever the webservice startup command is you initially ran. The service.manifest file should have details if you still have that from the previous service startup. > > Arthur > > On Wed, Oct 13, 2021 at 5:49 PM Brooke Storm &lt;bstorm(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote: >> >> If you were running a Toolforge web tool in Kubernetes before the toollabs-webservice label changes were deployed on 2021-09-29 (https://sal.toolforge.org/tools?d=2021-09-29).
