I think documenting step-by-step instructions for setting up a build server and the steps involved to monitor the health of such a machine would be good -- I think I offered some machines earlier, and I'm not sure they are still used and who looks after them, and what the expectations are, and I could help with it if I knew what to do. Btw, the 'sjd-p9' ppc64el build server could to be upgraded from the debian bullseye that it is running now. If it is used? It seems be busy building things though. How about adding another ppc64el build machine on a fresh host (I have another Talos II around and finally got stable network connectivity for it) -- while developing the documentation/instructions -- and then once completed and operational, tear down the current sjd-p9 machine and re-install it using the new instructions? /Simon
