migrate web-chi-* to web-bhs-*
let's make two VMs in OVH cloud and migrate web-chi-* there. those machines are having capacity issues and we want to move out of there, details in #40897.
general steps
-
create an account at OVH cloud -
assign the credit card to the account -
assign accounting@tpo as the contact info for billing (opened a ticket)moved to #40912 -
order two VMs at OVH, spec: 8 vCPU, 16GB ram, 500+GB SSD/NVMe -
setup the two VMs (done, named web-bhs-05, web-bhs-06) -
sync one of the mirrors -
sync the second mirror (in progress, skipped the local sync because it's fast enough on remote, and provides a good benchmark: start syncing the second mirror with the first (so it syncs "local" in the OVH cloud) -
do some smoke tests of the first mirror to make sure it works before adding to rotation, possibly with https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/howto/benchmark -
add first mirror to rotation as a final burn-in -
if that works, add the second to rotation -
remove web-chi-* from rotation -
if all goes well, after 1-2 weeks, retire web-chi-* boxes (possibly in a new ticket)see #40906 (closed)
