wikidata-dev wikidata-lexeme instance has been found to be running an unsupported operating system
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Ubuntu Trusty is no longer available in Cloud VPS since Nov 2017 for new instances. The migration path is to replace such instances with Debian Stretch (or possibly Jessie), no new Ubuntu versions are supported for Wikimedia use. Around April 2019 Ubuntu Trusty support will be removed, and with it any accidental support for other versions of Ubuntu such as Xenial or Bionic.

The following VM has been detected as having been in-place-upgraded to an unsupported Ubuntu version instead of being replaced with Debian:

wikidata-lexeme.wikidata-dev.eqiad.wmflabs

Per decision in T213913, removing the instance should solve the running the outdated OS problem,

The following VM has been detected as having been in-place-upgraded to an unsupported Ubuntu version instead of being replaced with Debian:

Yes, I upgraded it because MediaWiki needed a newer PHP version (T172165), see SAL. But if we now would need to move VM, let’s reopen T197583.

By the way, the wikidata-constraints system was similarly upgraded in-place, from Jessie to Stretch (see wikitech). Is that a problem?

Oops, sorry, I didn’t see the newer comments.
