Hello WMF shell users,

all of you have access to the backend behind https://people.wikimedia.org/ where you can publish your own files.

The backend for this is a dedicated VM running on ganeti which until today was people1001.eqiad.wmnet running on stretch (Debian oldstable).

Today it has been replaced by people1002.eqiad.wmnet running on buster (Debian stable).

All your files have already been rsynced over. You should not have to do anything except remember to now use people1002 instead of people1001 when uploading new files.

I have already removed access to people1001 to avoid uploads there but files have not been deleted and I will keep it up for another day or so just in case.

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/People1002 (you can find the fingerprints of the new server here)
