GitLab

During the specified maintenance window, the IT Center will perform maintenance on the MySQL databases used by the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) service. As part of the maintenance, the databases will be unavailable for a total of approximately 15 minutes.

During this time, new logins to services using RWTH Single Sign-On will not be possible. Existing sessions will remain active and will not be affected by the maintenance.

We are aware that GitLab is currently experiencing significant performance issues. We have analyzed these issues and are working to resolve them as soon as possible.

As part of the rollout of a central GitLab instance for all universities in North Rhine-Westphalia, the git.rwth-aachen.de service will be migrated to git.nrw.

The transition started on June 2, 2026, and will continue until July 1, 2027.

The transition is currently in its first phase, the migration phase:
git.rwth-aachen.de will remain available for regular use until January 4, 2027.
Project managers should begin migrating their data to git.nrw or an alternative GitLab instance. Starting the migration early is recommended to ensure the availability of the projects. Project managers are responsible for migrating their projects themselves!

You can find migration instructions and information on the next steps in the transition process at the following link: https://help.itc.rwth-aachen.de/en/service/ubrf9cmzd17m/

Please note that the current migration may result in increased system load, which may occasionally cause performance to be slightly slower. We are continuously working on optimizations to improve stability and minimize any potential limitations.

The GitLab instance git.rwth-aachen.de is currently unavailable.
The responsible department has been notified and is working to resolve the issue.

The issue has been fixed.

Due to a technical issue, GitLab was partially unavailable during the specified time period.

Due to maintenance at 09.07.2026 from 14:30 to 15:30, git.rwth-aachen.de & git-ce.rwth-aachen.de will be temporarily unavailable.

Following the widespread disruptions on June 22, 2026, the central data center Core L2 switch must be updated. The update is scheduled to take place during this period with very brief interruptions (<10 seconds).
