It is still down. Is an estimation available when this will be cool again?

restarted service gitblit on server antimony.

it's back for now

Dzahn claimed this task.

Thanks. would any upgrade to gitblit fix anything. is the gitblit plugin for gerrit the current version for the branch 2.8.

Paladox triaged this task as Unbreak Now! priority.
Paladox set Security to None.

Down again. Needs to be looked into since it keeps going down.

is the gitblit plugin for gerrit the current version for the branch 2.8.

git.wikimedia.org is not served through gerrit's gibtlit plugin, but is a standalone gitblit instance.

So the gitblit instance for git.wikimedia.org can be upgraded independently of gerrit and is not tied to a specific gerrit version.

Hi does it show any error in the error log.

Would upgrading to gitblit 1.6.2 fix it.

Since it is having a server problem.

This is not blocking anything hence decreasing priority.

@Dzahn could you try update gitblit to see if anything happens.

Seems to have come back online. Maybe it should be upgraded for now until it is ready for it to be migrated to diffusion.

Why bother? Just use Diffusion.

Currently the extension template on mw.o links to this. That's probably the reason why this issue gets thrown up that frequently. So if Diffusion should be the thing to go for this template will have to be updated I guess.

But mediawiki.org coulden cause gitblit to go down because it links to it. gitblit 1.6.3 now uses its own chart instead of using google to get the data which might reduce cpu and memory usage.

But mediawiki.org coulden cause gitblit to go down because it links to it.

Why shouldn't this template be updated? If I interpret demon's comment correctly this service will not be restored because nobody really should bother about it. I am not on the tech list so I do not know when git.wikimedia.org was abandoned. Do we really have to continue worrying about this?

I think git.wikimedia.org I not abandoned just yet but the are preparing for it too be I think gerrit and gitblit will go together since gitblit is just a web viewer for gerrit.

Ah, ok. So thumbs up. I will sit tight.

git.wm.org should be replaced by Diffusion already. it's just not removed yet. i think maybe we'll add redirects soon like we did with SVN. notice there is an entire project to deprecate it

I will work on the redirect code over the weekend. It is slightly complicated by the way phabricator names repositories (short "callsigns" instead of hierarchical urls)

Hi do you know when gerrit is being deprecated. and gitblit was easy to navigate then diffusion.

@Paladox: This task is about git.wm and gitblit. Gerrit is unrelated here. For timelines see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator#Migration_timeline (and discuss on that talkpage).

Aklapper renamed this task from git.wikimedia.org not loading to git.wikimedia.org sometimes not loading (e.g. showing a 503).Jul 24 2015, 1:23 PM

git.wikimedia.org is down again could it be restarted please.

05:02 < icinga-wm> PROBLEM - git.wikimedia.org on antimony is CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds

15:24 < mutante> !log restart gitblit

15:28 < subbu> can someone help with gitblit downloads being broken .. it is causing our jenkins jobs to fail .. ex:

https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/parsoidsvc-php-parsertests/5332/console

merge as duplicate into T83702? @greg why did you remove the project? deprecating gitblit would solve this ticket
