Hello,
Additionally to the mail server switch on Monday, we're planning to move/migrate the gitlab server from our Falkenstein-based cluster to the one in Dallas.
This move will be happening on Thursday november 28th starting at 18:00 UTC.
The disks for the gitlab server are fairly sizeable so the transfer could be taking a long time. Our current estimates are that it could take about 18 hours to transfer. We will try launching an operation to zero out empty parts of the disk volumes before starting the transfer in the hopes that it could give the transfer a boost.
So the transfer will most likely take gitlab offline until the next day, friday 29th, at which time we'll make sure that the service is coming back online properly.
If there's any issue during the outage, please reach out to us via IRC or email, but not through gitlab issues since this last one will obviously be offline at that time.
For status updates, see: https://status.torproject.org/issues/2024-11-28-gitlab-migration/
Cheers!

The VM migration is now complete and the gitlab service is back online in the Dallas cluster.
If you see any issue that wasn't present before, don't hesitate to reach out to TPA to get our eyes on the problem.
