I just installed the newest client, and still have some wus due for Sept 3, that have been pending upload for a long time.

In the new client, I had to reinstall the projects. However, wcg doesn't seem to work.

I'm on android btw.

Configuration of Websphere and IBM MQ is taking longer than expected. We are moving all provisioning, build, and deploy stages for all repos from Ansible and Gitlab CI to Dockerfiles and docker compose files, which is a step that precedes running these containers as StatefulSets on Kubernetes. So far, we have functional containers for IBM MQ, Websphere, DB2, MariaDB, and all BOINC endpoints up and running, and what we are still struggling through is configuration.

This approach will benefit site reliability and scalability in an obvious way on Kubernetes, and will improve our development and QA lifecycles drastically. It was also necessary to preserve a maximum compatibility with the CentOS 7 virtual machines that the legacy stack was previously running on, a requirement for the redirected restore of the DB2 data for example, https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/11.5.x?topic=restore-performing-redirected-operation.

So why are we not up, and when will we be up? We are debugging the entrypoint scripts for Websphere and IBM MQ containers. Website cannot be brought up until Websphere is up and configured correctly, receiving messages from all MQ sidecars across the stack, sending emails, etc. Each of the databases, the webserver, and the scheduler have to run MQ, and we are still adapting some of the previous mqsc and other runtime configuration for the MQ service to work with this new setup where each important container that requires one gets an MQ sidecar container that uses the Ubuntu 24.04 host VM network.
