[heroes] Some good news: Olaf is up and running
by Lars Vogdt 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

You might know the snowman Olaf from Frozen[1]? He started to serve as our guest in the openSUSE heroes network - currently providing * access to the "MirrorBrain" Database, which is behind the download.opensuse.org redirector. * the mirrors.opensuse.org pages, based on the latest scan data of our openSUSE mirrors Olaf could meanwhile also do the job as "scan-host" for our mirrors, but I had in mind that someone wants to contact our mirror admins before we switch over from the old machine - I just forgot who it was. So please speak up if you feel bad now and prepare for the announcement ;-) What does that mean: * added/editing/removing mirrors is now possible with access to the openSUSE openVPN (funny name, btw). Once the needed SSH keys are deployed (or access is granted via freeIPA), please follow the official documentation[2] and/or play with the "mb list; mb show $mirror; mb edit $mirror" stuff. But please do not forget that this is our production database! * you can already use olaf.infra.opensuse.org to scan mirrors "mb -v scan $mirror" or enable them "mb enable $mirror" or whatever. There is really just the commented scan jobs in /etc/cron.d/mirrorbrain that stop olaf from becoming the official scanner * The layout of mirrors.opensuse.org should IMHO see an update. I played a bit and got https://mirrors.opensuse.org/index2.html - but this proves again that I'm no web-designer. Maybe someone finds the time to a) think about a github repository for that page - and maybe also for the config in /etc/sysconfig/mirrorbrain-webpages b) adapt/beautify the master and place everything in the github repository, so we can do a simple pull (via cron) on olaf once in a while * whoever wants to help with mirror stuff in the future, can use this machine for the "daily admin tasks" I know that this news does not mask the problems from the last days, but I see it as a next step in the migration of the openSUSE services in the hand of the openSUSE Heroes. ...and I plan to come up with more good news as soon as possible ;-) With kind regards, Lars PS: Tuesday evening is always a bad meeting time for me, but this time I'm even more "blocked" - so again sorry that I can not attend your meetings any longer. I hope my reports here on the list help at least a bit. -- [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olaf_(Disney) [2]: http://mirrorbrain.org/docs/installation/initial_config/#creating-some-mirr… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org

[heroes] Reminder: Heroes meeting on Tuesday
by Christian Boltz 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hello, the next Heroes meeting will be next tuesday (Sept 5th) at 18:00 UTC / 20:00 CEST in #opensuse-admin. See https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/23488 for the topics, and feel free to add your own topics - or just speak up during the meeting ;-) Personally, I'm not yet sure if I can join the meeting. I have to help with dismantling a wine festival on Tuesday, and it's hard to tell how long this will take. Just in case, here's my status report: - en-test.o.o has the new skin, which still needs some adjustments - besides that, the wiki is "boring" because it simply works ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Most beers contain significant quantities of alcohol, so be mindful that drinking a German beer is not like drink normal beer. oSC staff is not responsible for any hallucinations you may experience as a result of drinking at this event.

[heroes] Re: cPanel offer to the openSUSE Project
by ddemaio 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hi Benny, Sorry it has taken so long to get back with you. Our Heroes team who manage the project's infrastructure discussed your offer for supporting the project and came up with the following list of items that we could find useful: Regarding OBS sponsoring, we are more or less always looking for: * "local" storage (FC would be nice to fit into our current SAN) to store the build results or caches (ATM we are urgently looking for a replacement of a 5 year old SAS disk array with 32TB capacity). The cost for such an array are starting at 35k EUR. * more build workers (especially ARM or ppcle architectures or x86 workers with a huge (>=1Tb) amount of RAM. Starting at 2-10k EUR. * backend machines (for running schedulers, etc.) with special HW setup. Around 15k EUR. * 2-Port 10Gb network cards for some virtualization machines. Starting at 250 EUR. * Mirror servers around the world, that have ~20TB capacity and can be pushed via rsync (additional ssh access might be good for initial setup and debugging) I have cced Lars Vogdt and the Heroes team. Please let us know if you have any questions. v/r Doug On 03/07/2017 03:32 PM, benny Vasquez wrote: > Hi Doug!

[heroes] progress.o.o issue
by Adrian Schröter 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hello Ancor, Ludwig has currently a pressing issue in progress.o.o what seems to be out of scope for our SUSE-IT team since it seems to be redmine code related: https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/21772 In short, redmine hangs on a specific copy operation and there seem to be nothing in the logs. Mili was so free to nominated you as a helpful person here and asked me to write you this nice mail ;) The openSUSE heroes need your ssh key for granting you access to the system. They will also provide you a VPN access to the openSUSE network (not SUSE one) if you don't have that yet. Is there a chance that you can have a look at this issue together with Ludwig? thanks a lot here adrian -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian(a)suse.de SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, atm disquss.o.o is down - I found it with a 403 Forbidden, maybe it's a wrong proxy config, but the machine was down as well, hanging during boot with a broken filesystem - i went to the maintenance console and repaired the broken disk with fsck. After that - the VM disquss.o.o came back to life - and is running again. But the service is still not available. Anybody knows who is maitaining disquss - or who set it up?

Hi Petr, I'm including the Heroes on the topic of opensuse.cz. I believe they will be able to help. I will see if I can get someone to bring some boxes with them to PRG. I will bring more when I travel to SUSECon. The tshirts is cool.

Can you recommend the best way to me? Could you give me an appropriate contact? * I much like this T-Shirt https://plus.google.com/+openSUSE/posts/d2suxS4QXg5 . I had a similar idea about the T-Shirt with Alex. The same color as OBS T-Shirt with openSUSE logo on the back but with big black Alex on the front and perhaps with openSUSE text. What do you think of it? * I would love a big colorful Alex but I know it might be impossible to make and uncomfortable to wear (huge print on the front). * Can you send me some media of openSUSE Leap 42.3 through someone when he drives from NUE to PRG?

Hi, Today I've been getting a lot of http 503 errors, sometimes the real 503 html page. Yet status.o.o shows all systems are operational. Bug or a matter of polling intervals ? I've noticed this before when the forums were down. Just a couple of hours, yet IMHO status.o.o. should be reliable. Ideas? -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
