July 2021 - Heroes - openSUSE Mailing Lists

by Adrien Glauser

Running as a container + freezing instead of packaging as .rpm + migrating are two recommendations I fully support. Can we proceed this way? What would be the strongest blockers if any? -------- Message transféré -------- Sujet : Re: Packaging Discourse Date : Tue, 27 Jul 2021 05:16:54 +0000 De : Attila Pinter <adathor(a)protonmail.com> Répondre à : Attila Pinter <adathor(a)protonmail.com> Pour : Adrien Glauser <adrien.glauser(a)gmail.com> Copie à : Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert(a)suse.de>, KaratekHD(a)opensuse.org Hi All, I started to play around with the Discourse rpm, but I doubt that this route should be taken. It is not recommended by upstream to package it due to the heavy dependencies and the effort it takes to maintain such package. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to take the containerization avenue on the matter? We could still add our own branding and apply changes where needed and push the image to registry-o-o. Just my two cents, but if we put if we're to replace vbulletin it gives us a chance to innovate and taking the MicroOS+container route and automate as much as we can IMHO would worth it. While we're at the VBulletin part, I know Adrien already suggested to freeze the forums as is, archive it and leave it in a ro state. This is not unheard of in the FOSS world. Or the licensing would cause issue and best to migrate everything? (Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this last bit.) -- Br, A.

A few "Who/Where" questions ahead of a community REST API

by Adrien Glauser

Dear Heroes, As mentioned in the last Heroes meeting we (Jens, Martín and I) are looking into building a user-friendly REST API to allow users across the entire platforms (web, Matrix, Telegram, Discord, future forums) to perform a variety of queries. The ultimate goal is to make important community tools and services more accessible by providing a single, user-friendly interface where basically any question that doesn't need a human respondent can be addressed by a simple query. (That's half the of it; it other half is to make channels, people and activities more discoverable, but that's for another day.) The domain of resources we want to provide access to is evolving as we learn new things about oS infra but it goes roughly like: - packages listed under "zypper search" - packages displayed on build.opensuse.org - documentation - the opensue bugzilla - progress/pagure - community news & activities (from news-o-o) and more. Now before we start building new tools we'd like to see if we can use tools that exist already. Thus we would like to know a few things: 1) Since this API is likely to depend on bots to provide in-app searches, we need to know if the bots bridging between the various instant messaging services could be used to forward queries to the API. Who's maintaining that / these bots and where can read the code? 2) Bugzilla comes with a REST API from version 5+; does bugzilla.opensuse.org have this feature currently enabled? Who should we get in touch with to negotiate enabling it? 3) Does Progress expose an API for doing queries and if yes, where's the docs about using this feature? Thanks a lot, any piece of information would be greatly appreciated! Best, Adrien

Re: mirroring of http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/backports still not working

I think, this discussion is rather off-topic for most mirror operators on the ML => moving to heroes who should be the ones operating pontifex2 (I also did some work there in the past). You cannot hardlink directories anyway. What you could do is do a bind mount from one place to the other. I added to fstab: /srv/ftp/pub/opensuse/repositories/openSUSE:/Backports:/SLE-15-SP3:/Update/standard /srv/ftp-stage/pub/opensuse/update/leap/15.3/backports bind bind 0 0 there were already similar lines next to it, e.g. /srv/ftp/pub/opensuse/repositories/openSUSE:/Backports:/SLE-15-SP3:/Update/standard /srv/ftp/pub/opensuse/update/leap/15.3/backports auto bind 0 0 /srv/ftp/pub/opensuse/update /srv/ftp-stage/pub/opensuse/update auto bind 0 0

DNSSec enabled for opensuse.org - and other stuff

by Lars Vogdt

Hi Sorry that I missed the meeting. I just forgot it... Here are my short notes (sorry, long day, just trying to make it short): * DNSSec is enabled for opensuse.org domain since last weekend. Meanwhile also the caches should be purged and all DNS servers should provide valid responses. Please check, if we missed something... * mirrordb2 is currently the one and only PostgreSQL DB. I am not 100% sure if this is really wanted, but... ...on the other side, it forced me to think about a backup of the databases. Currently there is a NFS mount (mirrordb2:/backup) from backup.infra.opensuse.org, allowing the postgresql-backupscript to dump a backup of each database (individually) every day around midnight. * The new (Hey, nearly...) widehat is ready and syncing. I just did neither find the time to prepare some more VMs (like MX, static, DB-Server, more?) nor to exchange it with the current one. Sorry for that. I hope to find some time during the next two weeks for this. As result, our old widehat aka rsync.opensuse.org will not be available for a day. * There is still some old stuff up and running, that we should shut down, if we follow our old policy (or should I better say: idea?): + users.o.o -> old ELGG instance + wiki.o.o -> old mediawiki instance + elections.o.o -> old helios instance Any objections? * We could simply upgrade Redmine (aka progress.o.o) to the latest version, if we would not use these old, self-backed plugins. Some of them might be obsolete already, some not used - but others? Anyway: there is progress-test.o.o - a new machine running the new Redmine on an old DB dump. Authentication does not work (yet), as we might simply switch to one of the supported authentication mechanisms (and get rid of another, old plugin). Anyone interested to drive this? * We plan to move more and more traffic to the MirrorCache instances during the next days, to test them under more load. For this, ~50% of the traffic on download.o.o will be redirected to the MirrorCache instance. This should be transparent for the users. For those interested: https://mirrorcache-eu.opensuse.org/ looks more and more like http://download.opensuse.org/ - but still needs some styling to be "openSUSE". * DNS management is meanwhile on chip: https://chip.infra.opensuse.org/ If you like to get access, please ping me. LDAP authentication works, but we need to put you in the right group in the WebUI, so you can edit DNS settings. Note 1: infra.opensuse.org is currently still on FreeIPA. Can be moved at any time. I'm just waiting for *your* go here. After that, everything DNS related is on chip. Note 2: `pdnutil edit-zone opensuse.org` on the command line might be much easier. Don't worry, if you get asked if you want to increase the serial number of the zone once you saved your changes. Please answer 'y', so the DNS servers get aware of your changes (they just compare the serial to know if something has changed). * There is a backup.infra.opensuse.org machine with 3T space, waiting to get filled by clients. Anyone who wants to suggest a good, open source, backup tool? * I like to build some redundancy of machines running in Nuermberg in Provo and at our CoLo, to survive outages better in the future. Anyone, who wants to join this "project business continuity"? With kind regards, Lars
