Oops - yeah. Sorry about that. Thanks also to Scaleway for supporting
Flathub! We're going to consolidate our Scaleway instances to two larger
boxes so we get faster X86 builds, rather than slicing it up into lots
of smaller VMs and large storage volumes etc to support the whole
infrastructure.

The idea with the new server is that it can handle the repo / master /
frontend, which is a mostly fixed workload with plenty of disk and
bandwidth to throw at it, and we can scale the number/size/location of
workers over time as needed.

Cheers,
