Decommission buse.tails.boum.org

Now that we've migrated to GitLab, we should decommission buse so that:

  • Riseup folks can get rid of the obsolete virtualization host buse is running on.
  • We stop paying for the hosting of that VM.

Steps:

  • backup Redmine database + current installation (including plugins) + attachments directory
  • follow sysadmin doc for decommissioning a system
  • Consider wiping data
  • power off buse.tails.boum.org
  • wait a day or two to identify any unknown dependency of our infra/workflow on buse.tails.boum.org
  • ask Riseup to destroy the VM
  • tell our accounting team about the decommissioning date
  • Consider deleting backups ("Cleaning up backups" in sysadmin.git:backups.mdwn)
