Access
Every WMCH server cannot be accessed via SSH without being in the WMCH VPN:
- Infrastructure/VPN - Wikimedia CH VPN
After you have obtained your WMCH VPN credentials, stay ready to share your SSH public keys, to deploy them on the desired server, to be then able to access.
Changes
Every important configuration change is tracked inside our repository to identify regressions:

Legacy infrastructure
Server intern
There is a legacy server called intern and exposed via https://intern.wikimedia.ch/ that hosts some legacy MySQL databases.
Here some hypothesis about the purpose of each database:
b00028.board_– legacy running wiki about https://board.wikimedia.ch/db00028.chapters_– legacy running wiki about https://chapters.wikimedia.ch/db00028.members_– legacy unused database previously related to https://members.wikimedia.ch/ (phab:T255848)dbwiki_chapters– legacy wiki about https://chapters.wikimedia.ch/ (note: no users, just contents)dbwiki_executive– legacy unused database previously related to https://executive.wikimedia.ch/ (note: no users, just contents)dbwiki_members– legacy unused database probably an old backup ofdb00028.members_(note: no users, just contents)dbwiki_test– unknowndbwikimania– unknowndbwikivillage– unknown WordPressdbwlm– unknown WordPressdbwwwprod– unknown CiviCRM + WordPress
