Terms and conditions
If you are an Account Holder planning to use WMCS resources and products, you must read and agree to the following:
- Wikimedia Cloud Services Terms of Use
- Code of Conduct for technical spaces
- Agreement to disclosure of personally identifiable information (which covers End-Users).
- Toolforge tools must be open source software licensed under an OSI approved license.
- Toolforge projects must not collect, store, or share private data or personally identifiable information, such as user names, passwords, or IP addresses, except when complying with the conditions listed in the Wikimedia Cloud Services Terms of Use.
Getting started with Toolforge - Quickstart
<section begin="quickstart" />
- Create a Wikimedia developer account.
- Create an SSH key and add it to your Wikitech account.
- Submit a Toolforge project membership request and wait for its approval.
- Your request will be reviewed, and you will receive confirmation within a week. You will be notified through your Wikitech user account.
- Once you are added as a Toolforge member, you must log out and then log in again at https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/
- Doing this is required for your membership to take effect.
- Create a new tool or join an existing Tool account.
- Access the Toolforge project and manage files in Toolforge.
<section end="quickstart" />
Run new tool - Quickstart
When you log in to username@login.toolforge.org (via ssh) and call "become MY_TOOL", you get in the /data/project/MY_TOOL directory. This is your tool's $HOME.
- Create your tool's code/html root directory:
mkdir public_html - Create your tool's code:
echo '<html><head></head><body>Hello world!<?php ?></body></html>' > public_html/index.php
- Start the tool:
webservice start - Navigate to https://MY_TOOL.toolforge.org/ in your web browser and it should show something.
This is just an example that creates a simple PHP tool. For more details about this (and other kinds of tools), see Help:Toolforge/Web and Help:Toolforge/How to. For troubleshooting, see Help:Troubleshooting Toolforge.
Manage existing tool - Quickstart
When you log in to login.toolforge.org (via ssh) and call "become MY_TOOL", you get in the /data/project/MY_TOOL directory. This is your tool's $HOME. Then you can:
- Edit tool software and config files usually present in:
$HOME/public_html,$HOME/www/python,$HOME/www/js,$HOME/public_tomcat, etc. For editing you can use console text editors (vi, edit, mcedit, etc.), use a version control tool like Git, or you can download, edit, or upload files using the SCP/SFTP protocol. - Check if the tool is running, its type (php/python/js/java/etc.) and selected backend (kubernetes/grid) using command:
webservice status. - Stop the tool:
webservice stop - Start the tool again:
webservice --backend=kubernetes TYPE_OF_YOUR_TOOL start - SSH to the tool's container:
webservice --backend=kubernetes TYPE_OF_YOUR_TOOL shell
Communication and support
Support and administration of the WMCS resources is provided by the Wikimedia Foundation Cloud Services team and Wikimedia movement volunteers. Please reach out with questions and join the conversation:
Discuss and receive general support
- Chat in real time in the IRC channel #wikimedia-cloud connect, the bridged Telegram group, or the bridged Mattermost channel
- Discuss via email after you subscribed to the cloud@ mailing list
Receive mail announcements about critical changes
Subscribe to the cloud-announce@ mailing list (all messages are also mirrored to the cloud@ list)
Track work tasks and report bugs
Use the Phabricator workboard #Cloud-Services for bug reports and feature requests about the Cloud VPS infrastructure itself
Learn about major near-term plans
Read the News wiki page
Read news and stories about Wikimedia Cloud Services
Read the Cloud Services Blog (for the broader Wikimedia movement, see the Wikimedia Technical Blog)
