[heroes] Wiki packages - please review
by Christian Boltz 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Hello, I linkpac'ed (with the -c option) the mediawiki and elasticsearch packages into openSUSE:infrastructure:wiki. These packages don't come from a devel project, so please review them before we start to use them in production ;-) BTW: You might want to read https://blog.cboltz.de/archives/76-Packaging-MediaWiki-extensions.html to understand some packaging decisions I made. Regards, Christian Boltz -- If you break it, you own both parts. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org

[heroes] wiki update/move status - and an optimistic plan
by Christian Boltz 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hello, I'd like to give a status update of the wiki update and move to Nuremberg. TL;DR Everything is ready from my side, when can we do it? ;-)) And now the long version: All RPMs are ready in openSUSE:infrastructure:wiki (see my mail from saturday for details). The salt code to setup the wiki (webserver) and the elasticsearch VM is ready since yesterday, see my merge requests (and review them ;-) https://gitlab.opensuse.org/infra/salt/merge_requests #16, #17 and #18 I played quite a bit with some VMs to test everything, and enjoyed destroying the VMs and letting salt re-create them in no time :-) (fun fact: re-importing the database dump needs more time than the salt highstate run to setup the VM) So, what do we need to really do the wiki update and migration? - review of the salt code - review of the mediawiki and elasticsearch packages - 42.3 JeOS images [1] - a new VM for the wiki (apache etc.). Note that this VM needs to access the internet to fetch RSS feeds and files from github - a new VM for elasticsearch, ideally only reachable from the wiki VM - some crazy ideas how to name these VMs [2] - a mysql database for each wiki on the galera cluster (ideally with names like wiki-en and usernames == database name) - optional: a "master" mysql user which can be used to create all the wiki-* users and databases - the latest wiki database and files from Provo. For the real (non-test) move, we also need to set $wgReadOnly in Provo to make the current wiki read-only while we move it. - some configuration on login.o.o for each wiki (similar to what we have for en-test.o.o already) - a backup concept, even if we hopefully never need it ;-) I'd propose - daily database dumps - daily backups of /srv/www/ which basically contains the uploaded files (+ some small config files etc.). Maybe rsnapshot would be a good solution since 99% of the uploaded files don't change. - no backup of the elasticsearch VM needed - if it really breaks, setting it up from scratch with salt is easy and re-creating the search index can be done within a few hours - and finally some DNS changes ;-) There were some changes since setting up the current en-test.o.o, therefore I'd like to do a "final" test setup with the latest (english) wiki database and files on fresh VMs to ensure everything works. If nothing breaks for a week or so, we can start the real move with the english wiki as the first step. So far for the status und the requirements. Now let me talk about the optimistic plan ;-) I'd like to do all this really soon[tm]. "Really soon" means: We have 36 days left until the 42.3 release, and I'd like to do the wiki update before that - ideally two weeks before the release (= in ~3 weeks) because doing such a major change on release day would be insane. I know there are quite some dependencies, but I hope everybody involved with one of the requirements will have some time to help with his/her part. Oh, BTW: if this plan works as I hope, it would give the marketing team a good opportunity in the 42.3 release announement: "look, our wiki is already running on 42.3" - and this will also give the Heroes a very good visibility :-) Regards, Christian Boltz PS: even if it might look hand-picked - this mail has a _random_ signature ;-) [1] As I already wrote in my "42.3 JeOS" mail two weeks ago, I'd like to use Leap 42.3 from the beginning, even if it's still under development. I'll happily help to create the JeOS image if someone creates the openSUSE:infrastructure:Images:openSUSE_Leap_42.3 project in OBS and gives me permissions. [2] do we still require disney character names? Otherwise I'd like to run the wiki on Rieslingschorle, which would mean"Riesling" (wiki VM) and "water" [3] (elasticsearch VM) as VM names ;-) [3] actually carbonated mineral water, but that's too long for a VM name -- Development is still fast. First I said it went from Ferrari to Lada, but that is not true. It went from Space Shuttle to Ferrari... slower...but still extremely fast.

[heroes] No IPv6 address for rsync.o.o ?
by Per Jessen 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

rsync.opensuse.org used to have an ipv6 address [2a01:138:a004:0:230:48ff:fe80:9a32], but that seems to have disappeared from DNS: # host rsync.opensuse.org rsync.opensuse.org is an alias for widehat.opensuse.org. widehat.opensuse.org has address 62.146.92.202 Sometimes this morning after 00:19 the address disappeared. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.9°C) openSUSE mailing list admin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org

[heroes] planned outage of l10n.opensuse.org
by Stanislav Brabec 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hi. I am maintaining the l10n.opensuse.org and we a working on a large migration process that could take ~2 days. The planned start day is Tuesday, and it would be down or read-only at least to Thursday. If everything will run OK, the new server will be ready then, an I will request name server settings change from roadrunner to nuka. Could you allow me to login to https://status.opensuse.org/ to allow l10n updates? And could you add the outage to Icinga to prevent alerts? https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-translation/2017-06/msg00002.html The outage is already announced on the l10n web. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.com Křižíkova 148/34 (Corso IIa) tel: +49 911 7405384547 186 00 Praha 8-Karlín fax: +420 284 084 001 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ PGP: 830B 40D5 9E05 35D8 5E27 6FA3 717C 209F A04F CD76

Dear Heroes, Last meeting we had the topic meeting time, because we wanted to change it for SUSE-IT employees. I have written this offer and we can announce, that they can take part of it. So we'll change the next Heroes meeting from the first Sunday to the first Tuesday every month. Heroes preferred 20:00 Nuremberg time.

[heroes] 42.3 JeOS
by Christian Boltz 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

Hello, while doing some (local) tests with wiki-related VMs, I started to play with Leap 42.3 as base system. It looks like this will be "boring" - everything just works :-) If someone wants to test - I've built a JeOS image in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:cboltz:branches:openSUSE:infra… Note that this isn't exactly the JeOS we use as base of our VMs - it has some small changes [1] so that it works in my local test setup. The real changes (basically replacing some version numbers) for switching from 42.2 to 42.3 can be seen in the link diff: https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/home:cboltz:branches:openSUSE:infr… (there's also a version number in the project metadata) I know 42.3 is still under development, but nevertheless I'd like to start using it for the wiki and elasticsearch VMs I'll request in a few days. So - can someone please create an official 42.3 JeOS based on the above link diff? As an alternative, create the OBS project openSUSE:infrastructure:Images:openSUSE_Leap_42.3 and give me permissions to do it myself ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz [1] if you are interested in the details: https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/home:cboltz:branches:openSUSE:infr… These changes are also included in my 42.3 image. -- Pinguine sind picklige Geeks, die sich ihren Sonnenbrand vorm Monitor holen.

[heroes] Wiki update - call for testing
by Christian Boltz 03 Jun '17

03 Jun '17

Hello, [cross-post - please reply only on one of the mailinglists] Those who visited the Heroes talk at the openSUSE Conference already know - there is visible progress on the wiki update and I have a *test* wiki running :-) So, what's new? The highlights are: - updated MediaWiki to 1.27.x (LTS release) and all extensions - now running on a VM in Nuremberg - including files directly from github - better search (elasticsearch) - now searching all namespaces, but with different weight - login is now done using openID - but still with your openSUSE login - namespace-specific boilerplates (page templates) when creating new pages - switched extension for RSS feed integration - this will need adjustments on the pages that include RSS feeds - watching a category (when pages get added to or removed from it) is now part of MediaWiki core - Hermes notification was dropped (was broken anyway, and MediaWiki's own notifications work much better) There's also something that isn't too new - the database dump I used to setup the test wiki ;-) It's from last August, so please don't worry about the outdated content ;-) That all said - the test wiki is available for testing at https://en-test.opensuse.org/ Please check if everything still works, play with it, test the new features, ...! It is a test instance, so nobody will complain if you do test edits that don't make sense content-wise ;-) At the same time, remember that it is a test instance, so any changes you do will be lost when I re-import the database dump for whatever reason. If you notice any issues, please report them - either in one of the mailinglists (opensuse-wiki preferred) or send a mail to admin(a)opensuse.org If you enjoyed testing the new wiki, please also take some time to go to our current wiki (en.opensuse.org or $LANG.opensuse.org) - there are lots of pages that need an update ;-) And finally - thanks to everybody who helped me to get everything in shape! I still have to do some work "under the hood". That shouldn't cause any problem with testing, but it means that I won't do the production wiki move and update in a few days ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz PS: oSC visitors may wonder why it's en-test.o.o instead of en.test.o.o now. That name change is caused by a funny problem with our SSL certificate - *.opensuse.org doesn't match something with an additional dot, and en.test.o.o had such a dot ;-) -- Was habt Ihr denn? emacs ist doch ein tolles Betriebssystem!
