[Labs-l] Tool Labs migration instructions

[Alex Brollo]

I successfully migrates itsource tool (owned by user alebot); our files are
into their right place BUT...
we lost out local installation of
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/internetarchive , the key module to run a
experimental, running  tool to upload into Internet Archive pdf files and
good metadata from a very interesting and large Italian library.

Some days ago I opened a bugzilla ticket to ask for global installation of
internetarchive module, but experienced users suggest to locally install
the module into the tool.

Can I ask you to push a little bit global installation of such an
interesting module? I tryed pip from new environment, with no success.

> Hello All,

> As should come as no surprise given the number of advance warnings sent

>
> [This email applies to tools on the Tool Labs /only/; if you have
> projects in labs, then you want to refer to the instructions given by
> Andrew Bogott in his previous email.]
>
> For roughly the following two weeks maintainers are encouraged to
> migrate their tools to the new eqiad datacenter by themselves.  At the
> end of that "free" migration period, we will migrate the remaining tools
> automatically but keep them disabled until the maintainers have the

> Scripts have been provided to ease the transition.  From your *user*
> account on tools-login.wmflabs.org, you can do:
>
> $ migrate-tool <toolname>
>
> This will prepare your tool for migration, and schedule the data copy.
> More details are provided on-screen.  Do this for every tool for which
> you are the maintainer.  (If there is more than one maintainer, any one
> of them can perform the migration).
>
> This will also stop any jobs, webservice or cron entries.
>
> Once the copy is complete (you can check the status of the copy by
> issuing the migrate-tool command again) you can issue the following
> command from tools-login-eqiad.wmflabs.org:
>
> $ finish-migration <toolname>
>
> this will do the eqiad end of the migration.  Please be aware that it
> may take some time before the copy is started, as they are queued.
>
> Please also note that, to preserve space and bandwidth, log files are
> not copied over (that includes files ending in .out, .err and .log).  If
> you absolutely need to copy them over, then you can compress them first
> with gzip.

> You can migrate the contents of your home in pretty much the same way:
>
> $ migrate-user
>
> This will schedule a copy of your home directory to eqiad.  There is no
> second half of the script to run once it is complete.
>
> == Advanced Users ==
>
> If there are details you want to handle manually, you can 'ssh eqiad'
> from either tools-login or tools-dev (that includes being able to scp).

> Do not break glass; come on freenode IRC to the #wikimedia-labs channel
