I'm really happy to hear that you found Toolforge to be a good fit for your project and not an I/O challenge as you once feared. > What would have been a good way to reach out to you and other users? As Daniel Zahn mentioned in his reply, a redirect from the old url to the new one is a good way to handle this. I run the redirects Cloud VPS project [0][1] as a convenience for doing this sort of thing for various projects that started in a Cloud VPS project that have now moved to Toolforge or WMF production. I peeked into your Cloud VPS project and found that all of the instances have been deleted, so I decided to proactively setup a redirect for you. https://qrank.wmcloud.org/ will now redirect folks to your active service at https://qrank.toolforge.org/. When you are thinking about it, you could file a task on the Cloud VPS project-requests workboard linked to your original project creation request [3] asking for the now unused qrank Cloud VPS project to be deleted. No big deal if you don't, but it will save you from nag emails in the future asking you if you are still using the project. :) [0]: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Redirects [1]: https://openstack-browser.toolforge.org/project/redirects [2]: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/2875/ [3]: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298228 Bryan -- Bryan Davis Wikimedia Foundation Principal Software Engineer Boise, ID USA [[m:User:BDavis_(WMF)]] irc: bd808 _______________________________________________ Cloud mailing list -- cloud@lists.wikimedia.org List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud.lists.wikimedia.org/
