ovpn-dco on RHEL10 based distribution
by William Muriithi 28 Sep '25

28 Sep '25

Hello, I have a openvpn server on RHEL10 and I would like to use ovpn-dco on it. Currently, I don't have a working kernel on it. 2025-09-24 10:27:17 us=861227 Note: Kernel support for ovpn-dco missing, disabling data channel offload. This is the only working binaries. openvpn-2.7_beta1-1.el10_0.alma_altarch.x86_64_v2 openvpn-auth-oauth2-1.26.0-1.x86_64 [root@openvpn-lab ~]# If I install openvpn-2.6, the openvpn server wouldn't start because of this error. symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/openvpn: undefined symbol: EVP_MD_CTX_get_size_ex, version OPENSSL_3.4.0. The kernel module seem ok as the system at least boot. Its just that openvpn don't work after the system is up. So, only way seem to figure out how to get openvpn 2.7 module booting on RHEL10 Kallsyms_lookup_name+0x4/0xd0 kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/cet.c:102! Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREMPT SMP NOPTI Tainted: [0]=OOT_MODULE, [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE This is how I installed the dco that is breaking the boot process. https://community.openvpn.net/Pages/OpenVPN%20software%20repos OpenVPN software repos – community wiki<https://community.openvpn.net/Pages/OpenVPN%20software%20repos> Introduction This page contains instructions for using OpenVPN project's own software repositories. For OpenVPN 3 Linux, see the dedicated OpenVPN 3 Linux page. The OpenVPN project provides the latest OpenVPN releases (and development snapshots) as packages for major Linux distributions. This allow you to use more up-to-date version of OpenVPN than what is typically available in your ... community.openvpn.net yum copr enable @OpenVPN/openvpn-beta yum install kmod-ovpn That is, after that, the system wouldn't boot. Have anyone found a way to run dco on RHEL10. This is a openVPN server, so I didn't bother trying openVPN 3 Any pointer would be appreaciated. Regards, William

skyline patch merging, release and backports
by Doug Goldstein 28 Sep '25

28 Sep '25

Hello, It appears that skyline, both skyline-console and skyline-apiserver, have been broken from a test standpoint for a bit. Additionally the last patch from not one of the core members that has been merged was June 12th, which is also the last time a core member has commented on a patch not from the core members. There has been a recent uptick in contributors coming from another organization and I would like to help see their contributions land. Some of these are fixes so that the tests actually pass as well as fixes for other bugs and new features. There have also been requests for backports to 2025.1. What do we need to get this work to start landing and make sure this project stays healthy? fix for skyline-console tests: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/skyline-console/+/961092 fix for one of the two failing skyline-apiserver tests: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/skyline-console/+/961092 open skyline-apiserver changes: https://review.opendev.org/q/project:openstack/skyline-apiserver+status:open open skyline-console changes: https://review.opendev.org/q/project:openstack/skyline-console+status:open Thanks. — Doug

[ops][largescale-sig] Refactoring Ops-related activities - a discussion at the PTG
by Thierry Carrez 26 Sep '25

26 Sep '25

Hi everyone, We have several groups working in the OpenStack community to propose activities and content that are relevant to OpenStack operators: - The Ops meetup[1] group, currently producing Ops Radio Hour - The Large Scale SIG[2], producing the Scaling Journey documentation and the Large Scale OpenStack webinars - The Public Cloud SIG and the Scientific SIG, which focus on specific usage cases - Probably others that I miss... All of those groups overlap, and struggle with gathering enough volunteers to drive them forward. The fragmentation also hurts their discoverability for OpenStack operators out there, who are hungry to learn about the challenges of operating OpenStack and would like to hear more from the teams that do that successfully. I'd like to propose an open discussion at the PTG next month on how to refactor our ops-facing activities under a single, visible, and active banner. I propose we take a PTG meeting slot on Friday, October 31, at 16utc to discuss that with all interested volunteers. Thoughts, comments? -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[release] Release countdown for week R+0
by Thierry Carrez 26 Sep '25

26 Sep '25

Development Focus ----------------- We will be releasing the coordinated OpenStack 2025.2 "Flamingo" release next week, on October 1st, 2025. Thanks to everyone involved in the 2025.2 "Flamingo" cycle! We are now in pre-release freeze, so no new deliverable will be created until final release, unless a release-critical regression is spotted. Otherwise, teams attending the PTG should start to plan what they will be discussing there, by creating and filling team etherpads. You can access the list of PTG etherpads at: http://ptg.openstack.org/etherpads.html General Information ------------------- On release day, the release team will produce final versions of deliverables following the cycle-with-rc release model, by re-tagging the commit used for the last RC. A patch doing just that will be proposed. PTLs and release liaisons should watch for that final release patch from the release team. While not required, we would appreciate having an ack from each team before we approve it on the 1st, so that their approval is included in the metadata that goes onto the signed tag. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Final 2025.2 "Flamingo" release: October 1st, 2025 OpenInfra Summit Europe: October 17th-19th, 2025 OpenStack PTG (virtual): October 27th-31st, 2025 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[openstack-ansible][ussuri] moving openstack deployment node to other host
by Danish Khan 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

Dear Team, Our controller1 node which was also openstack deployment node somehow crashed and is not accessible now. I am trying to make controller3 as new deployment node. Below is the step which I am planning to follow. I have backup of (openstack-ansible, openstack_deploy and ansible directory of controller1 ): 1. Place /opt/openstack-ansible directory from controller1 to controller3 2. copy /etc/openstack_deploy directory from controller1 to controller3 3. copy /etc/ansible/ directory from controller1 to controller3 4. run bootstrap on controller3 5. test if openstack-ansible has picked same clusters and inventory. Can someone please suggest if this is correct approach or if I am missing something. Regard, Danish

[kolla] [swift] Seeking reviews for reinstating Swift support for 2025.2
by Amir Hossein Ahmadi 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

Hello Kolla and OpenStack community, A few months ago, Swift support was removed from the Kolla project due to several challenges, including the need for role modernization, the lack of dedicated maintainership, and persistent CI failures. Following that, I volunteered to take on this effort. Over the last few months, I have been working to address these issues and am happy to report significant progress: - *Modernized Roles:* The Swift roles have been fully updated to align with the latest Kolla and Kolla-Ansible development standards. - *Reliable CI:* The associated Zuul jobs are now consistently green, with all tests successfully validated. - *Maintainership:* I have stepped up to maintain the Swift service within Kolla, ensuring its long-term health and stability. A considerable amount of effort has been invested to ensure this implementation is robust and maintainable for the community. With the *2025.2 release deadline just four weeks away*, the final and most critical step is to get these patches reviewed and merged. Your feedback and reviews are crucial to landing this work in time for the release. Reinstating Swift support would be a valuable addition for many operators. Any time you can spare to look over the patches would be greatly appreciated. You can find the main patch series here: https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22dev-swift-modernization%22 Thank you for your consideration and for all your contributions to the OpenStack community. Best regards, Amir Hossein (IRC: amir58118)
