[heroes] openSUSE Accounts system
by Stasiek Michalski 04 May '20

04 May '20

Hi, So as you might be aware, on 18. May Micro Focus finally cuts us off from their infra, and that obviously also means new account system. SUSE is preparing something themselves, but from what has been relayed to us, it doesn't fulfill all of our requirements. So we need your help in some areas while we transition to our own solution. We have deployed: * FreeIPA, as a backend to all of the other systems internally * Ipsilon, to provide us with sso capabilities to FreeIPA accounts https://sso.opensuse.org * Noggin, as a self-service portal, so people can register and modify their FreeIPA accounts https://accounts.opensuse.org (behind VPN for now, just so we don't get any random people signing up) The solution already works, albeit without the previous accounts, which will be imported once we have recieved a cut-down dump of user data from SUSE. However to get there, we need your help with getting all of the usernames of the users that ever logged into any and all openSUSE services. This dump will be sent to SUSE and based on it we will recieve the final dump which we will import into this system. When all of the data is imported, we will send out password recovery emails to all of the email addresses provided in the dump. From the implementation perspective in the applications themselves, there is mod_auth_mellon and mod_auth_openidc for the applications that do not support SAML, OpenID or OpenID Connect themselves. We do recommend using those technologies over mod_auth methods, but we are also aware this is not always possible. For requesting the metadata required to setup those methods, please email admin(a)opensuse.org and we will get it to you as quickly as possible. Also email us in case of any other issues, we will try our best to help you out as quickly as possible. We do welcome creating accounts and testing with the deployment, but keep in mind all of the data there will be destroyed. Depending on how ready we will be over the next few weeks, we will switch when it will be convinient for all of us, but remember we are actually not able to continue using Micro Focus' system after 18. May. That's a hard, unmovable DEADline. We have a nice new shining setup of forums that already is using the system, and this will become the new forums, until we can figure out a sane migration path to Discourse. Forums will have to be transferred way earlier, and kept offline, since Provo migration is happening alongside SUSE's switch to their new system and forums on 4. May. This does mean depending on the speed at which we can implement solutions, Forums might be offline for 2 weeks, which is unfortunate. So, let us know what is most comfortable for you, and don't be afraid to ask for any help, and we hope to get this show on the road before it's too late.

[heroes] bugzilla.opensuse.org (was: Welcome home, www.opensuse.org)

That one is more tricky since Micro Focus (Novell,...), SUSE, and openSUSE all share one database instance and part of the carve out is to separate out openSUSE and SUSE issues from all others with surgical precision. Christian and one or two others already helped test an earlier export. Thank you! Now there is a public instance available at https://bugzilla-opensuse-devel.suse.de/index.cgi If you spot any REGRESSION (that is, something no longer works) please let me know here TODAY (yes, very tight) and I'll relay. Gerald PS: Full focus is on moving this off Micro Focus, not updating, enhancing, improving yet. So let's focus in the move for now. -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer <gp(a)suse.com>, CTO @SUSE + chair @openSUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org

[heroes] Welcome home, www.opensuse.org
by Christian Boltz 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

Hello, since some minutes, www.opensuse.org gets served from Nuremberg. This move is somewhat symbolic - www.opensuse.org is a static page, which made moving it quite easy. Well, mostly - the /openid/ part is still living in Provo, and the servers in Nuremberg proxy these requests to Provo. Configuring that was funny[tm] - thanks Darix and Stasiek for your help with the haproxy config and the testing! Now we "only" need to move the forums and bugzilla (and of course also openid), but that are different stories for the next weeks ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- And lets face it, a password protected screen saver is a de-facto control even for desktops in many settings.

[heroes] meet.opensuse.org impressum and privacy policy
by Marina Latini 24 Apr '20

24 Apr '20

Hello folks! Let me say thanks for the setup of our own jitsi instance! Kudos! :) I would like to inform you that as per today, the instance is missing the impressum and the privacy policy. Here[0] you can find a useful guide for adding it. It's in German but I suppose should be fine. ;) The impressum/imprint is here[1]. For the privacy policy I suppose this[2] should be ok.

[heroes] Moving www.o.o to Nuremberg - any blockers?
by Christian Boltz 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

Hello, as you might have seen on IRC in the last days, I'm working on moving www.opensuse.org to Nuremberg. The website itsself is "boring" - just a few lines in salt to deploy a github repo on narwal*. www.o.o/openid/ is more interesting[tm] - to avoid that it blocks the move, I configured haproxy to forward /openid/ to the current server in Provo. It was a bit tricky, but seems to work now. (Thanks Darix and Stasiek for the help!) Does someone know if www.o.o has more special cases like /openid/ that need a special handling? You can test the moved page at www-new.opensuse.org. If you want to test /openid/, I'd recommend to override www.o.o in your /etc/hosts so that it points to the Nuremberg IP. If nobody objects, I'll switch over www.o.o on monday. Bonus question: Is it possible to have an access_log in haproxy? If yes, can someone who knows how to do that ;-) please enable it for the www_openid backend? That would help us to get an idea how much /openid/ gets used. FYI: since today, nearly all domains handled by proxy.o.o get redirected from http to https. The only exception is conncheck.o.o because I don't know if/how the NetworkManager applet "survives" a redirect.

[heroes] Chameleon dev branch at static.opensuse.org
by Guo Yunhe 18 Apr '20

18 Apr '20

Hi, We are changing the development model of Chameleon so it is more reliable. https://github.com/openSUSE/chameleon/issues/18 The master branch (https://static.opensuse.org/chameleon/) is the stable branch, well tested and won't be updated frequently. Used by all production sites. The dev branch, which we would like to deploy at https://static.opensuse.org/chameleon-dev/ , is the unstable version for testing and can break now and then. Used for testing sites and local development environment. Need your help to set up the cron job to pull dev branch. Thanks! -- Guo Yunhe / @guoyunhe / guoyunhe.me -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org

[heroes] Upgraded Redmine on progress.opensuse.org
by Estu Fardani 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

Hi openSUSE Community, We have been using Redmine as a ticketing system for a very long time. The previous server had Redmine 2.4.5 from 2014 installed on an old SLE 11 SP4 server. And finally we have successfully migrated to a newer Redmine version. Currently running Redmine 3.4.12 on a brand new server with Leap 15.1. This is a long awaited step in a long, long journey. Much time was spent fixing broken plugins, configuration and the database to match the new Redmine version. And we have a new theme to make it look fresh [1]. Thank you to all people who helped this migration run smoothly.
