Reminder: Account expiry and migration
by Silke Meyer 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hi all! Just a little reminder: Your toolserver accounts will expire on January 6th, 2014. You can renew it with acctrenew as usual. If you had an expired account and you want to come back and collect your data: Your account has been reactivated until that date. You can login to nightshade and use the script "byebye" to collect your stuff. It will create a new directory inside your home directory called FarewellBundle. This directory contains tarballs of almost everything you had on the toolserver. The only thing you have to take care of separately is your stuff in /mnt/user-store. Please download the data you don't need on the toolserver any longer! If you don't need your account any longer you can delete it using the script "burnbridges". It will delete everything but your ~/public_html/.htaccess files in case you have a redirect to Tool Labs. For us, it would be very helpful if you deleted you data yourselves. If you find some time before January 6th, please consider migrating your tools to Tool Labs [1][2], as the toolserver will be discontinued in mid 2014. If you hit barriers that prevent you from migrating, please create bugs in Bugzilla [3]! We can meet in an IRC office hour in January to discuss them. The office hour will be announced separately at the beginning of January.

Hi all! >From 9th to 11th of May there will be a MediaWiki hackathon in Zurich [1].

user-store and tile store failed again
by Marlen Caemmerer 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hello, today the user-store on TS and tile store failed again. It is currently checking the file system and can take a while. I will move the stores to another host after this is done. Sorry for this, hope it gets better afterwards. Cheers Marlen/nosy

Toolserver wiki
by John 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

One of two things needs to happen, we need to disable new account creation for anons, or we need to setup some anti-spam features, (abuse filter and title blacklist) Right now most of the edits are just spam John

Maintenance: Reboot+fsck of Toolserver user-store
by Marlen Caemmerer 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Hello, NFS has been quite unstable lately regarding user-store and it seems a filesystem check for user-store is needed, too. I have decided to reboot + check the machine. This means, some tools and OSM will not work during the maintenance. The filesystem check will take quite some time because the volume is quite big. Maintenance will happen Monday, 10th Feb 10pm UTC - Tuesday, 11th Feb 3am Cheers Marlen/nosy
