Worker system upgrades

Find a maintenance window for the service:

• wait for no more ongoing task on imager then stop the worker (docker stop imager-worker ; restart with imager-worker-restart)
• run zimfarm stop manager on zimfarm worker

Then:

apt update && apt upgrade

• imager-worker
• ondemand
• sisyphus

Note: this is an automatic reminder intended for the assignee(s).

Zimfarms

• Check that we did not unintentionaly kept some secrets in URL output by the farm: this grafana query
  should return only harmless link (or no logs at all).

Borgbase

• Start compaction of Borgbase repositories manually through the UI (beware wp1db which needs you to stop backup container on mwcurator before to release lock: sudo docker-compose -f /data/code/wp1/docker-compose.yml stop backup)
• Check compaction completed succesfully on all repositories (and not not forget to restart backup container on mwcurator

Delayed task

• Review delayed tasks and act on them if expiration (set in title) is next month

All done except:

• borg compaction still needs to be checked (other borg repos are done/checked); nota that I tried to restart backup immediately after compaction start, since compaction is supposed to have acquired the lock on borg repo this should be ok ; so backup of wp1 is supposed to already be re-enabled
• update imager-worker

@rgaudin I let you finish these two points

Edit: borg compaction is OK
