GitLab security update

GitLab has released a security update. Due to its severity SNT's instance will be upgraded immediately.

  • After the upgrade, it became apparent that newer versions of both Ruby and git were needed. This set back the completion of the update by a few hours.

    Everything should work as intended now.

  • A major version upgrade was required to fix the standing security issues, which required an unexpected database upgrade. This took half an hour extra.

    Change in availability of services

    For the past year, SNT has been negotiating with LISA for a new contract. We were in good faith that this would result in a contract with minimal impact on our members and users. Unfortunately, it was not possible to come to a contract that both SNT and LISA agreed to. LISA has one-sidedly decided to terminate our current contract per 1 March 2020. This means that, though we try to keep our services running, we cannot guarantee their continuation.

    From 1 March 2020 onward, changes will be noticable to our services:

    • Our helpdesk in Citadel will be closed until further notice. If you have any questions about SNT services, you can still contact our helpdesk by email at helpdesk@snt.utwente.nl. If you have any questions not related to SNT services, can instead contact the LISA service desk.
    • Our IP registration system DAS will be offline. For IP registrations and modifications you can contact the LISA service desk.
    • All other SNT services will remain operational. However, we can only provide limited support.
