Per https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/2025_Cloud_VPS_Bullseye_deprecation we need to replace or retire the following wikilink Cloud VPS instance:
wikilink
For this deprecated instance:
- Create a new instance using Debian Trixie (longest time until future deprecation) or Debian Bookworm
- Move content and configuration from the old Bullseye instance to the new instance. Consider using a Cinder volume to store and move files.
- If using web proxy on the old instance, delete the proxy and the add a new one with the same name pointing at the new instance
- Shutdown the old Bullseye instance
- After all the content and configuration is moved, delete the old Bullseye instance
If we need additional quota to create new virtual machine instances, follow the instructions to request a temporary quota increase.
Note
docker-data and backup directories already been moved to cinder volumes and can be moved to the new host.
