3 years ago All of them will need migrating. If we're going to be deploying any new Alaveteli installations anytime soon let's get #6208 merged before then so they can start using the Glass backend.

2 years ago While migrating vhosts to the new infra as part of https://github.com/mysociety/sysadmin/issues/1527
We have been rebuilding the Xapian indexes as glass where possible - eg where is didn't take long to generate from scratch and where there was no errors)
The current state of indexes are as follows:
| Country | Format |
|---|---|
| WDTK | chert |
| EU | chert |
| Belgium | chert |
| Colombia | chert |
| Czechia | chert |
| Greece | glass |
| Liberia | glass |
| Nepal | glass |
| Netherlands | glass |
| Rwanda | glass |
| Turkey | glass |
| Uganda | glass |

2 years ago So the indexing process can take time and be quite memory intensive, so I think doing this at deploy during a migration is only really viable when the site is a small one.
We may need to look at building a new glass index offline on fast machine, then swapping into place and updating once done for the larger sites.
Potentially relevant here:
Lots of our older installs, including WDTK, use Chert.
Need to list the installs that need migration, and then do them.
