Team Meeting Agenda for January 27, 2026
by Clark Boylan 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

We will meet with this agenda on January 27, 2026 at 19:00 UTC in #opendev-meeting: == Agenda for next meeting == * Announcements * Actions from last meeting * Specs Review * Topics ** Upgrading Old Servers (clarkb 20230627) *** https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-bionic-server-upgrades *** https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-focal-server-upgrades *** https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-server-replacement-sprint **** wiki.openstack.org: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-mediawiki-upgrade **** tonyb looking at cacti after wiki *** Next on the list are graphite and backup servers *** Can probably spin up new backup servers alongside the old ones then migrate the old volumes off the old servers to the new ones and finally delete the old servers. Just need to double check borg version support matrix details and also what adding new backup servers will do to our cron job setups for backups. *** Remember to use launch-node's --config-drive flag when booting new Noble nodes in Rax Classic ** Moving OpenDev Synchronous Communication to Matrix (clarkb 20250520) *** We have moved to Matrix *** Minimal traffic has remained on IRC *** Tools like Gerritbot, statusbot, and eavesdropping seem to be working well *** Have we noticed any problems? ** zuul-registry Image Pruning of OCI Images (clarkb 20251216) *** Fixes for OCI image pruning have been put in place *** Rechecks of https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/970451 show there may still be problems though ** Adding Bad Crawler Honeypots to our Sites (clarkb 20251216) *** docs.opendev.org has a honeypot in place in its robots.txt file *** So far the only hits for this have been from fungi's test IP address *** We may need a more explicit url link in the content or maybe we need to apply the honeypot to a system that gets crawled more than docs.opendev.org ** Etherpad 2.6.1 Upgrade (clarkb 20260113) *** As soon as we upgraded to 2.6.0 there is a new 2.6.1 release. It needs a change and testing *** There is also a new etherpad golang rewrite: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-go/wiki/FAQ ** MariaDB backups over TCP instead of Unix Socket (clarkb 20260127) *** We noticed that if mariadb's container image is updated during mysqldumps for backups that backup may never exit and conclude *** Theory is that this is happening because the unix socket is held open by the linux kernel then nothing further is written to it so everything hangs around *** Proposed fix is to run mysqldump over TCP. We are testing this with lodgeit to start. *** https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/973541 This will apply the change to all services if lodgeit looks happy. ** Service Coordinator Election (clarkb 20260120) *** Nomination period running February 3-17. Then if necessary an election will run February 18-25. * Open discussion
