After a long journey, https://addons.thunderbird.net/ is running in very testing-only shape. * It only has the tiny dev test database loaded, so there are no actual add-ons to download. * Caching, Elasticsearch, and Firefox Accounts(for login) services are fully functional. You can login, but of course it will just make a new profile for you. * It's running on a single ec2 instance right now, behind an elastic load balancer, connected to all the above services. When done, it will be running on multiple such instances and will additionally have Amazon Cloudfront in front of the ELB. * The Thunderbird client APIs(discovery pane, versioncheck, etc) aren't running yet. * Of course, it may go down repeatedly and for long durations over the next two weeks, so if you read this some time after it was sent and the site is broken, that's expected. My Mozilla ops contact is busy with this week's AMO prod issues and firefox 57, and I do not have direct access to the live AMO prod database(or anything in their VPC, actually). We've scheduled some time to do this late next week, at which point the site should be ready for testing. In the mean time, I'm going to get the back-end services running so everything is ready to go for testing as soon as we complete the database and add-on file copies. We are a couple of weeks behind the original schedule, and I apologize for that. Unfortunately this has been a very large amount of work understanding and duplicating an undocumented, complex system using a number of technologies I hadn't used before. Fortunately, the AMO team has no urgent need to disable the classic addons.mozilla.org site <https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/>, and in fact they need to keep it running anyway because the new front-end doesn't have all features implemented yet. So the new *scheduled release date for addons.thunderbird.net is December 4, 2017*. That is the date that all traffic(including backend traffic) can be redirected, and the new site will be ready for full use. This is 2.5 weeks from now, because while I expect the database clone to be done next week, given the way things have been going I felt we should build in some extra time. If nothing else, it will allow for more testing before we enable the redirects. *At the latest, next update will be for the week ending November 26, 2017**.*

Thanks for working on this sancus, great job! It has been a hard and long task and I'm glad we're close now :) Philipp On 11/17/17 9:01 AM, Andrei Hajdukewycz wrote: > > After a long journey, https://addons.thunderbird.net/ is running in > very testing-only shape. > > * It only has the tiny dev test database loaded, so there are no > actual add-ons to download. > * Caching, Elasticsearch, and Firefox Accounts(for login) services > are fully functional.
