Buildbot runbook
Our buildbot instance has a habit of breaking due to excess load.
Restarting the worker
If the worker (primary, handling nix evaluations) explodes, it can be restarted.
ssh root@buildbot.lix.systems 'systemctl restart buildbot-worker.service'
Re-trying spurious CI failures
Those with the relevant permissions can click the "rebuild" button on a given CI job, but in order to count for Gerrit's checks and set the Verified +1 flag, you must restart the top-level lix/nix-eval
job; restarting e.g. a single test or build will not affect things on the Gerrit side.
