People of the Builds!
We are happy to announce the first beta release of the upcoming Open Build Service (OBS) version 2.9. There have been many changes since our last major release. Highlights include the Studio Express features, an improved workflow for producing appliance images in OBS. A message bus, supported by RabbitMQ, to help you connect your own tools to what is happening inside the OBS. And a much improved notifications system to keep up to date with OBS.
More information ---------------- If you are longing for a deeper look into all the changes this update brings check out the detailed 2.9 Release Notes
https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/blob/2.9/ReleaseNotes-2.9
It is also recommended to read these before updating your OBS instance!
Try OBS 2.9 Beta One -------------------- 2.9 Beta One is deployed on our reference server you can try it there:
Install 2.9 Beta One -------------------- Please read our setup instructions
https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/blob/2.9/README.md#installati...
or better yet, use our appliance
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OBS:/Server:/2.9/images/
Update to 2.9 Beta One ---------------------- We do not recommend this for critical production instances but if you already have a running OBS installation and want to update it to this beta, please read also the README.UPDATERS
https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/blob/2.9/dist/README.UPDATERS
file about the necessary steps.
OBS Appliance users who have setup their LVM
http://openbuildservice.org/download/#appliance_config
can just replace their appliance image without data loss. The migration will happen automatically.
OBS 2.9 Final ------------- We will continue to work on the final release of 2.9 and expect it to be released in the near future. We hope you like this beta and are looking forward to your feedback to it, here on this list, on IRC or by bug reports in github.
💚 Your Open Build Service Team

Is rabbitmq mandatory for 2.9 is ist just "if you want to connect your own tools, then you need to have rabbitmq"?

no, it is only optional.
Just in case if you want to connect external infrastructure, but OBS itself does not rely on it.

Ok, this would have been a real update blocker after my experience with rabbitmq in other SUSE Products ;-)
Thanks, I will look into setting up a test instance with 2.9 beta

I tried to use the install ISO, but it didn't offer me a way to install OBS onto disk. Instead, it just booted into a live environment that didn't work because there wasn't enough RAM available for everything...

IIRC, the iso should do an "oem install" on the attached disk, which simply dumps the image to the disk and expands the filesystem.
I tested it in an KVM machine and it didn`t work.
Could you please file a github issue and use the qcow2 image for now (This is the best tested one)?
BTW: you can enlarge the qcow2 image to whatever size you want (with "qemu-img resize") before first boot and the file-system should be expanded automatically.

But I'm using a real computer, so I need the ISO...

That's a good tip for virtual OBS instances, but this one is on real hardware...
