My apologies if this ticket comes as a surprise to you. In order to ensure WMCS can provide a stable, secure and supported platform, it’s important we migrate away from GridEngine. I want to assure you that while it is WMCS’s intention to shutdown GridEngine as outlined in the blog post https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2022/03/14/toolforge-and-grid-engine/, a shutdown date for GridEngine has not yet been set. The goal of the migration is to migrate as many tools as possible onto kubernetes and ensure as smooth a transition as possible for everyone. Once the majority of tools have migrated, discussion on a shutdown date is more appropriate. See T314664: [infra] Decommission the Grid Engine infrastructure.

As noted in https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2022/03/16/toolforge-gridengine-debian-10-buster-migration/ some use cases are already supported by kubernetes and should be migrated. If your tool can migrate, please do plan a migration. Reach out if you need help or find you are blocked by missing features. Most of all, WMCS is here to support you.

However, it’s possible your tool needs a mixed runtime environment or some other features that aren't yet present in https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2022/03/18/toolforge-jobs-framework/. We’d love to hear of this or any other blocking issues so we can work with you once a migration path is ready. Thanks for your hard work as volunteers and help in this migration!

Thanks for tagging the library @Shizhao.

@komla I don't know anything about this tool and it seems like it was being solely maintained by user Madman, who is retired.

webservice? see https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Toolforge_Grid_Engine_deprecation#Use_case_continuity

maybe webservice --backend=kubernetes php7.4 start

There was no content in the $HOME/public_html of the tool. It appears to me to have been a bot written in PHP rather than a webservice. I have shutdown the grid engine webservice which was running and only returning 403 Forbidden responses because of the lack of files to serve.

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Madman&oldid=891278682 and the lack of any edits on Wikitech by the user since 2014, I am also going to mark the wikipedia-library, inactive-bureaucrats, and inactive-admins tools which have Madman as the sole maintainer for archiving.
