Updates to meetpad's Jitsi Meet configuration
by Jeremy Stanley 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

Last week, we refreshed our configuration defaults for the Jitsi Meet services which provide the teleconferencing features of our meetpad.opendev.org service. The primary behavior change you're likely to notice is that meeting room URLs first take you to a pre-join page now. This is a workaround for some browsers, particularly Firefox, treating the audio stream as unsolicited and automatically blocking it. Previously, that was responsible for causing confusing "I can't hear anyone else" problems for many users. If you had trouble with sound on our meetpad service before, please do try it again at your convenience and let us know if it helped (or more importantly, if it didn't). -- Jeremy Stanley

Self Nomination for OpenDev Service Coordinator
by Clark Boylan 17 Aug '22

17 Aug '22

Hello, I am submitting my nomination for OpenDev Service Coordinator. I plan to continue to focus on building sustainable services with the current resources we have. Upgrading servers to Jammy and replacing old services like mailman 2 are high on my todo list. I have been doing this for a while and don't have a lot of new things to say. I think it is important that these community services/resources continue to be accessible to the community, and that requires ensuring they are sustainable. If you have been happy with the last six months then you can expect more of the same. I am still happy for someone else to volunteer as well. You have a few more hours if anyone else would like to give it a go. I think having a group that can share these responsibilities is a good thing. But I am happy to continue as well. Clark

[all] Dynamic Zuul results table in Gerrit 3
by Radosław Piliszek 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

Hello Fellow OpenStack and OpenDev Folks! TL;DR click on [3] and enjoy. I am starting this thread to not hijack the discussion happening on [1]. First of all, I would like to thank gibi (Balazs Gibizer) for hacking a way to get the place to render the table in the first place (pun intended). I have been a long-time-now user of [2]. I have improved and customised it for myself but never really got to share back the changes I made. The new Gerrit obviously broke the whole script so it was of no use to share at that particular state. However, inspired by gibi's work, I decided to finally sit down and fix it to work with Gerrit 3 and here it comes: [3]. Works well on Chrome with Tampermonkey. Not tested others. I hope you will enjoy this little helper (I do). I know the script looks super fugly but it generally boils down to a mix of styles of 3 people and Gerrit having funky UI rendering. Finally, I'd also like to thank hrw (Marcin Juszkiewicz) for linking me to the original Michel's script in 2019. [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-November/019051… [2] https://opendev.org/x/coats/src/commit/444c95738677593dcfed0cfd9667d4c4f0d5… [3] https://gist.github.com/yoctozepto/7ea1271c299d143388b7c1b1802ee75e Kind regards, -yoctozepto

It is almost that time again. Back in February I said that we'd have a Service Coordinator Election nomination period that runs from August 2, 2022 to August 16, 2022 [0]. If you'd like to run (I'm more than happy for someone else to do it) now is the time to start thinking about that. I'm giving everyone a head up a week in advance today, and will send a notice on August 2nd that the nomination period is beginning. If you'd like to take this on you can send your nomination as a reply to this email thread or in a new email thread to the service-discuss list.

New approaches for grafana.opendev.org
by Ian Wienand 01 Jul '22

Hello, 65;6800;1c Currently all graphs pushed to grafana.opendev.org are defined in project-config/graphana as YAML files consumed by grafyaml [1] The fundamental tension for grafyaml is that the upstream Grafana project do not document and publish a defined schema for dashboards and their components. grafyaml has a subset of the upstream data model which is incomplete, in some cases buggy -- but also, perhaps most importantly, undocumented [1]. We have over a million data points of interesting information in graphite but I feel there are significant barriers to new and interesting visualisations. With no clear documentation, either upstream or in grafyaml, where is somebody supposed to start? A series of changes have been reviewed and landed through grafyaml that allow it to upload dashboards exported directly from the Grafana UI in its native .json format. I would like to achieve some consensus that we use this feature in the OpenDev environment. I will leave aside the issues with the schema encoded in grafyaml; it's possible this might be fixed. AIUI the main reason for duplicating the schema in grafyaml was that it presented more reviewable YAML files. To this I would say: 1) Layout of the page; i.e. the rows, panels, nesting, etc. My argument here is that reviewers having to build a mental model of what a dashboard will look like -- from either YAML or json -- does not make for thorough reviews, especially if you're not already intimately familiar with the desired output. To this end, I have added a new job "project-config-grafana" which produces an artifact "Screenshots" that loads changed graphs into a Grafana instance and stores actual screenshots loaded from a headless browser. I believe this is a much more effective way to review proposed layout changes for both formats of input. 2) The data graphed. This comes down to the metric selected, and any functions applied. My argument here is that firstly the screenshot is a good way to evaluate this; for example you will see if you've accidentally treated milliseconds as seconds, etc. when the graph axis is wrong. As to the actual data -- ensuring we have the right metric, etc. -- I would say that the "raw" output of the exported graphs just isn't that hard to parse. It is unobfuscated and reads logically. I have proposed some examples: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/833213/6/grafana/in… https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/848212/3/grafana/no… I think you can clearly see the metrics chosen and the functions applied. 3) Generally more confusing. This is true, as the .json file is meant for Grafana to read. However, for better or worse, this is the actual data model of your graph page. To this end, I have proposed documentation and a helper-script to start a Grafana instance in a local container, and load it with the defined dashboards: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/833214/ This is useful for interactive editing sessions to develop new dashboards, and if a reviewer wishes to examine a change more closely than the screenshots provided by CI, they can simply pull the change from gerrit and load it into a live instance using this simple method. I think this is a significantly lower barrier to get people developing new and interesting things against the data provided. I'm not proposing any existing graph need change [2] and grafyaml's features to setup datasources and load the graphs are still used. I'm not proposing we remove or even stop any development of the YAML schema if people want to work on that and prefer to keep their graphs that way. I think that there is a great resource here that is underutilised, and my hope is we have a path to greatly reduce the barriers to new contributions. Sorry for the long mail, -i [1] Grafana does a good job of backwards compatibility, so "old" dashboards work in new releases. Hence our extant graphs, though producing output that looks very different from what the UI produces now, generally work. Modulo some bugs where the "update" process doesn't work (thresholds was one I found), deprecations of features that will disappear (c.f. time-series graphs) and just the many panel types that are completely unsupported. [2] Though most extant graphs use deprecated panel types that will have to be updated one day; but that's an issue for another time.

Regression in Gerrit regarding rebases from Gerrit UI
by Radosław Piliszek 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Hi! It seems I am experiencing a regression in Gerrit regarding the rebase capability available from the Gerrit UI. Before, when a child patch (in a patch stack) had its parent patch modified, it was possible to quickly rebase on the current state of the parent patch via the rebase button. Now, Gerrit UI always claims "This change is up to date with its parent." and suggests rebasing on top of the branch or any other patch. Just reporting this issue to see if others also experience this behaviour or something broke on my side (however unlikely). -yoctozepto

Service Coordinator Election Nominations
by Clark Boylan 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

Hello everyone, I've noticed that while I brought up the planned nomination period of January 25, 2022 to February 8, 2022 for our Service Coordinator election in our meeting agendas, and the meetings themselves; I never sent a proper announcement to the mailing list about this. We discussed this in today's meeting and there were no objections to extending the nomination period to 23:59 UTC February 15, 2022. This way everything is formally announced and anyone interested has time to sign up. Consider this the official call for nominations. You've got a week to put your name in the hat if you'd like to give the Service Coordinator hat a go. If we have more than one nomination at that point we'll figure out an election process that should run for a week. If we end up with one nomination that individual will win by default. Looking at the 2022 calendar for the next election: we should plan to have nominations from August 2 - 16, 2022. Then have an election the week after if necessary. Clark

This means those images are not immediately up for removal. However, if those volunteers find they aren't sustainable for one reason or another they may still be removed. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has been removed and as far as we could tell nothing was using it when we removed it. Shouldn't create any problems. CentOS 8 removal has begun with a number of changes [0] to start removing some of the infrastructure bits (like wheel mirrors and openafs packages) that supported it. I will be reaching out to OpenStack as well as they seem to be the primary users of the centos-8 label. Hopefully we'll be able to remove all of the existing centos-8 jobs cleanly, but if not then we'll wait until a reasonable amount of time and cleanup has passed (a couple of weeks?) before force merging the removal of the nodeset and label from our zuul configs. Fedora 34 cleanup is still in progress, but should pick up again as people return from holiday. [0] https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22remove-centos-8%22+status:open

Re: [service-announce] Changes to OpenDev's stable of CI images

Hey Clark, I'd like to help out / volunteer on whatever needs to be done. It doesn't have to be specific to image clean up. I'm not sure how to get started so thought we could meet for coffee but open to other suggestions. On 12/7/21 08:38, Clark Boylan wrote: > Hello, > > CentOS 8 reaches end of life on December 31, 2021. This means now is the time for you to convert jobs to CentOS 8|9 Stream or some other appropriate platform. The OpenDev team will plan to remove CentOS 8 images and mirrors from our infrastructure in early January, hopefully by January 14, 2022. Again, please update your jobs now so that you are prepared. These changes are necessary as the distro will no longer be supported, and there is no way for us to ensure that the images will be secure or that we'll even be able to build them. > > We've also got Fedora 35 lined up to replace Fedora 34. Due to Fedora's short support window we typically swap out one Fedora release with the next when the next is ready. If you are using the fedora-34 label please update it to fedora-35. If you are using fedora-latest we'll be updating that to use fedora-35 and the swap will happen automatically for you. We expect to have Fedora 34 cleaned up by the end of the year. > > Additionally both OpenSUSE 15 and Tumbleweed could use some help. For OpenSUSE 15 we need to update it to 15.3 as well as updating the associated mirrors if we plan to keep it around. I'm happy to keep this image around if we can get volunteers in the community that can help with that. If there isn't interest in modernizing the OpenSUSE 15 images I'd like to propose we clean them up in January along with the CentOS 8 images. For Tumbleweed, the images haven't received much use or attention. I'd like to propose that we simply retire this image and clean it up. We had thought it might be a good platform for monitoring upcoming changes in the Linux world, but the reality is that only works if you've got people active caring for it and adjusting to those changes. The Tumbleweed cleanup will likely begin before the end of the year. > > Finally, our Gentoo images bounce between being buildable and broken with more time spent being broken than not. I'd like to propose that this image also get cleaned up in the near future. Again, if there is interest in the community for keeping this alive I think we can make that happen. But as is this image is not in a sustainable place and it would be better for us to stop running jobs on it. Thanks, -- Jack Morgan

Parallel production jobs changes
by Ian Wienand 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Hi, To recap: currently production deployment jobs run sequentially. Zuul starts the job on an executor, which is setup to log into the bastion host. The job sets up the system-config playbooks on the bastion host and Ansible is run from there against the production server. To run in parallel, each job needs to not assume it owns the system-config playbooks on the bastion host. Each Zuul *buildset* can use the same system-config playbook checkout though. To achieve this we need to rework the dependencies; each production job needs to depend on a common source-setup job. Once the source is setup on the bastion host, the actual production jobs can run in parallel. To the changes... Firstly, I believe we're doing the setup steps for the executor to log into bridge twice: https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/818190 removes this duplication, and should be safe to merge. As pointed out in prior reviews when running in the periodic or hourly pipelines each job overrides that bastion host checkout to master. https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/base-jobs/+/818189 moves this step into base-jobs, in preparation for only being done once by the separate source-setup job. I believe this will be safe to merge; system-config will just do it again in an idempotent way, until: https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/818191 merges, which drops this step from system-config. We can then merge the system-config job dependency updates in https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/807672 This should mean that all jobs not only rely on the correct base jobs, but jobs that need certificates, etc. will be relying on the letsencrypt job, etc. This should be safe to merge as nothing should actually change, we just have stricter dependencies. After this, I think we are ready to refactor the base jobs into the two separate steps -- firstly setup the keys on the executor to log into the bastion host, then setup the source to use on the bastion host: https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/base-jobs/+/807807 This initial refactor should be safe to merge as it creates two new jobs, but the existing base job keeps running both steps as-is. Then we are ready for the penultimate change: https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/807808 This updates the system-config jobs to all depend on "infra-prod-setup-src" which will be the canonical job that sets up the source repository on bridge.o.o. All other jobs in the buildset will depend on this job, ensuring consistency for a run. This should also be safe, as it again doesn't actually change ordering. Once all this is in, we need the final change to enable parallel running (and think about correct semaphores between periodic/hourly and regular runs). That is yet to be written, but we have enough to get to that point! -i

UbuntuOne/Launchpad two-factor authentication
by Jeremy Stanley 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

For a little over a year Ian, Clark and I have been using the multi-factor authentication feature of UbuntuOne SSO (i.e. Launchpad) in order to more strongly secure the accounts we rely on for OpenID logins to the Web interfaces of our services like Gerrit and StoryBoard. It's gone smoothly, I think, and so we're probably overdue on our plan to offer this capability to other OpenDev users. Support for this is not enabled by default, your SSO account needs to be a member of a group which is granted the feature. We have one such group authorized for this purpose, which can be found here: https://launchpad.net/~opendev-2fa Please see the information and important caveats documented in the group description. I expect the process would be something like using the LP group members page to request membership for your account, and then one of the group administrators would approve the request, after which you would be able to proceed with configuration of your token or other HOTP/TOTP authenticator. I'm bringing it up here first for discussion, in order to see if anyone has any concerns or related suggestions, but barring none I'd like to move forward with a "soft" (quiet) call for wider testing the first week of December. -- Jeremy Stanley

Gerrit 3.3 upgrade: dashboards and attention sets
by Ian Wienand 13 Oct '21

13 Oct '21

Hello You may have noticed the recent upgrade of Gerrit to version 3.3 on review.opendev.org. We note two things users should be aware of - Dashboard links If your dashboard uses https://review.opendev.org/#/dashboard/... it may no longer work, despite being the documented way to create dashboards. We are currently unclear if this is a bug or a feature [1] but in the mean time, removing the "/#/" (i.e. just use https://review.opendev.org/dashboard/...) makes things work. - Attention sets You have hopefully seen a new section on the main page "Your Turn". This is the Gerrit "Attention Set" feature [2]. This is an optional feature, but we feel it is worth spending some time with it to see how this can fit into our workflows. One thing to be aware of is that adding a vote by default adds the uploader in the attention set. While this makes sense in some models (particuarly non-gating where you are expected to merge yourself), in our environment usually adding a +1 or +2 with no comments is not something that needs the attention of the uploader -- it's either waiting for more review, or Zuul will merge it after gating tests. At the bottom of the modal box where you are inputting your votes you can easily modify the attention set. Look out for it next time you're reviewing! Consider removing others if your comments do not require new attention. If we pollute other people's attention lists with changes that don't actually need their attention the feature will not be useful. So it is worth us all trying to work with the system and be mindful of who and when we add people (we have raised an issue to discuss our workflow with this feature, but it will not be an instant fix [3]). Thanks! OpenDev Admins [1] https://groups.google.com/g/repo-discuss [2] https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-attention-set.html [3] https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=15154

Service Coordinator Nominations and Election
by Clark Boylan 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hello everyone, It has been about six months since the previous election for the OpenDev Service Coordinator spot. When we did the last round I said we could do about 2 weeks of nomination period then follow that with a week long election if necessary. Considering this the official open call for nominations which will stay open until 23:59 UTC on August 10, 2021. If we need an election that will run from 00:01 UTC August 11, 2021 to 23:59 UTC August 17, 2021 UTC. If anyone else is remotely interested please feel free to step up. I've been doing this for a bit now and would be happy to have someone else take on the role. Let me know if you have questions about what is required. I am also more than happy to help in any transition that happens. Looking ahead to the next election I think we'll run those with nominations January 25, 2022 - February 8, 2022. The election would run February 9, 2022 - February 15, 2022. Clark

review.opendev.org server upgrade 18/19th July 2021
by Ian Wienand 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Hello, Around 2021-07-18 23:00 UTC we plan to provision an upgrade to the review.opendev.org server which hosts our Gerrit instance. We are aware that some users may require firewall updates or similar to access the new server. The new addresses will be: 199.204.45.33 2604:e100:1:0:f816:3eff:fe52:22de We hope the downtime will be limited to a few hours as we migrate and index the data. User-visible changes be should minimal. Due to incompatible schemas between the old hosted database and new database instance we will not be transitioning the table that holds the information about what files you have reviewed (gerrit shows a light-grey "Reviewed" when you have viewed a file). Note this is *not* review comments or code, but just the per-user flag in the UI if you have viewed a file. You can reach admins via email at service-discuss(a)lists.opendev.org or in OFTC #opendev for any further questions or queries. Thank you, -i

[UX] I can not find a way to create a new repository using the web UI
by hexagon-recursion＠posteo.net 09 Jul '21

09 Jul '21

Hello. I wanted to give opendev.org a try as an alternative to github for my own free software projects unrelated to OpenStack. Your homepage says that this is allowed and encouraged https://opendev.org/#can-i-host-my-project-on-opendev . I am currently stuck unable to figure out how to create a git repository. What I have done so far: 1. Clicked on "Get Started" 2. Created an Ubuntu One account Where is my "create a git repository" button? -- Andrey Bienkowski

StarlingX Docs promote job failing
by Camp, MaryX 24 Jun '21

Hi, Since the security updates to Zuul today, the StarlingX docs promote job is failing on every review. [1] The last successful promote job ran yesterday. [2] Here is the error: The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'targets' The error appears to be in '/var/lib/zuul/builds/e93712cdb47b4b519d2f9f1202a7f2e1/trusted/project_0/opendev.org/opendev/base-jobs/playbooks/docs/promote.yaml': line 51, column 7, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: target_dict: "{{ afs.targets.master }}" - name: Set target directory if not master ^ here Is anyone else affected by this? thanks, Mary Camp Kelly Services Technical Writer | maryx.camp(a)intel.com<mailto:maryx.camp@intel.com> [1] https://review.opendev.org/q/project:starlingx/docs+status:closed [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/docs/+/797756

FLOSS MOOC ML
by Kendall Nelson 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

Hello :) I was wondering what the process was for getting a ML setup? Ildiko and I have been attending regular meetings and advising on the development of a MOOC on FLOSS[1] and they were interested in starting an accompanying ML. I mentioned opendev maybe being a place for that and explained that they could be setup as admins to manage the ML, etc. I am all ears about what to do to get started! -Kendall Nelson (diablo_rojo) [1] https://gitlab.com/mooc-floss/mooc-floss

Reevaluating choice of IRC network for our service bots
by Jeremy Stanley 30 May '21

30 May '21

As most people reading this are likely aware, there has been a recent change in management for the Freenode IRC network. According to public statements[0], the former staff have all left and the network is in entirely new hands. Setting aside arguments about which parties are in the wrong, further stability of the service we provide is once again brought into question. We've seen evidence of (much) lower levels of abuse mitigation over the past few days, with a marked increase in registered accounts engaging in harassment over extended periods of time across our channels without getting banned from the network. Due to disagreements between Freenode and other large IRC networks and frequent related attacks against Freenode's servers, our communities have experienced many extended periods of instability there. In order to insure against a potential collapse of the network, the OpenDev Collaboratory (and the OpenStack Project Infrastructure before it) has for many years maintained a sort of evacuation plan: For the multitude of channels overseen by OpenDev, we also keep equivalent channel registrations on the Open and Free Technology Community (OFTC) IRC network[1], and have communicated with its operators on multiple occasions about their willingness and ability to host our communities there should the need arise. This week's events are, unfortunately, not an isolated incident. The systems administrators for OpenDev have encouraged a move to OFTC on multiple occasions, with the first formal proposal in March 2014[2]. In prior cases, the impact to the community for such a switch outweighed the perceived benefits, but as we've heard growing displeasure with Freenode from representatives of many of the projects we serve, it is time once more to revisit whether we should enact our longstanding evacuation plans. Because the OpenDev Collaboratory exists to serve the projects it hosts, input from project representatives and the Advisory Council is critical in deciding major changes to services. If projects were to move their channels to OFTC, the transition would not be seamless. In particular, differences in authentication (no SASL support, but you can authenticate your connection with a certificate[3] if you don't want to identify to the NickServ after connecting), permissions model (OFTC has coarse-grained RBAC designed to reduce channel mismanagement), and NickServ and ChanServ command syntax are among the challenges they're likely to face. The same IRC nicks may also not be available in some cases, though due to the generally smaller size of OFTC compared to Freenode this hopefully won't come up for too many users. On a positive note, we may be able to go back to not requiring nick registration just to join channels, easing onboarding for newcomers. If there is a consensus to move OpenDev's services to OFTC, or any other IRC network for that matter, this will entail a bit of development effort in order to accommodate the differences mentioned above. Please do note, however, that moving to a network other than OFTC would additionally mean we can't guarantee the availability of the same IRC channel names either, so that needs to be weighed in any decision. Some discussion[4][5][6] is already underway within the OpenStack community as to what they'd prefer, but we haven't heard much from other projects yet, so please do respond with your thoughts on the matter.

Re: [service-announce] Switching default nodeset in base job to ubuntu-focal
by Sorin Sbarnea 05 May '21

05 May '21

I support the move as I am aware of several issues that are sorted (or simplified) by using a newer release. It worth mentioning that GHA has a nice way to announce pending upgrade of their “nodeset” upgrades: they include a visible warning on each executed job that use a node that is pending a change, something like: “This job is using ubuntu-latest which will soon be switched from x to y. Use specific labels if you want to avoid such a switch.” They do no mention the exact date of the switch but apparently these warnings to stay on for at least one month.

Debian bullsye image Ansible detection
by Ian Wienand 23 Apr '21

23 Apr '21

Hello, In short, Ansible reports "n/a" for ansible_distribution_release on our new bullseye nodes. This screws up our mirror setup. This has turned into quite an adventure. Currently, Debian is frozen to create the "bullseye" release. This means that "bullseye" is really an alias for "testing", that will turn into the release after the freeze period. So currently Debian bullseye reports itself in /etc/debian_version or /etc/os-release as "bullseye/sid". This sort of makes sense if you consider that you don't commit things to "testing" directly, they go into unstable ("sid") and then migrate after a period of stability. So you can't have "base-files" package in bullseye that hasn't gone through unstable/sid. You can read "bullseye/sid" as "we've chosen the name bullseye and packages going through unstable are destined for it". Now, you might see a problem in that "unstable" and "bullseye" (testing) now both report themselves in these version files as the same thing (because the unstable packages that provide them move into testing). "lsb_release -c" tries to be a bit smart about this, and looks at the output of "apt-cache policy" to try and see if you are actually pulling the .deb files from a bullseye repo or an unstable one. Interestingly, this relies on a "Label" being present in the mirror release files. Since we use reprepro to build our own mirrors, we do not have this (and why nobody else who doens't use our mirrors seems to notice this problem). A fix is proposed with https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/787661 So "lsb_release -c" doesn't report anything, leaving Ansible in the dark as to what repo it uses. When "lsb_release -c" doesn't return anything helpful, Ansible tries to do it's own parsing of the release files. I started hacking on these, but the point raised in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845651 gave me pause. It is a fair point that you can not really know if you're on bullseye or sid by examining these files. N/A is probably actually the correct answer from Ansible's POV. Anyway, that is https://github.com/ianw/ansible/commit/847817a82ed86b5f39a4ccc3ffbff0e0cd63… Now, even more annoyingly, setting the label in our mirrors may not be sufficient for "lsb_release -c" to work on our images, because we have cleared out the apt repositories. You would need to run "apt-get update" before Ansible tries to run "lsb_release" to populate it's facts. Now the problem is that we're trying to use Ansible's fact about the distro name to setup apt to point to our mirrors -- so we can't apt-get update before we have that written out! Classic chicken and egg. The only other idea I have is to hack dib/early setup overwrite /etc/debian_version with "11.0" so that we look like the upcoming release has already been done. "lsb_release -c" will then report "bullsye". However, there is some possibility this will confuse other things, as this release technically hasn't been done. I've proposed that with https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/diskimage-builder/+/787665 I'm open to suggestions! -i

Join OpenDev at the Project Teams Gathering
by Clark Boylan 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

The PTG is next week, and OpenDev is participating alongside the OpenStack TaCT SIG. We are going to try something a bit different this time around, which is to treat the time as office hours rather than time for our own projects. We will be meeting on April 22 from 14:00 - 16:00 UTC and 22:00 - 00:00 UTC in https://meetpad.opendev.org/apr2021-ptg-opendev. Join us if you would like to: * Start contributing to either OpenDev or the TaCT sig. * Debug a particular job problem. * Learn how to write and review Zuul jobs and related configs. * Learn about specific services or how they are deployed. * And anything else related to OpenDev and our project infrastructure. Feel free to add your topics and suggest preferred times for those topics here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/apr2021-ptg-opendev. This etherpad corresponds to the document that will be auto loaded in our meetpad room above. I will also be around next week and will try to keep a flexible schedule. Feel free to reach out if you would like us to join discussions as they happen. See you there, Clark

Recent nodepool label changes
by James E. Blair 11 Apr '21

11 Apr '21

Hi, I recently spent some time trying to figure out why a job worked as expected during one run and then failed due to limited memory on the following run. It turns out that back in February this change was merged on an emergency basis, which caused us to start occasionally providing nodes with 32G of ram instead of the typical 8G: https://review.opendev.org/773710 Nodepool labels are designed to represent the combination of an image and set of resources. To the best of our ability, the images and resources they provide should be consistent across different cloud providers. That's why we use DIB to create consistent images and that's why we use "-expanded" labels to request nodes with additional memory. It's also the case that when we add new clouds, we generally try to benchmark performance and adjust flavors as needed. Unfortunately, providing such disparate resources under the same Nodepool labels makes it impossible for job authors to reliably design jobs. To be clear, it's fine to provide resources of varying size, we just need to use different Nodepool labels for them so that job authors get what they're asking for. The last time we were in this position, we updated our Nodepool images to add the mem= Linux kernel command line parameter in order to limit the total available RAM. I suspect that is still possible, but due to the explosion of images and flavors, doing so will be considerably more difficult this time. We now also have the ability to reboot nodes in jobs after they come online, but doing that would add additional run time for every job. I believe we need to address this. Despite the additional work, it seems like the "mem=" approach is our best bet; unless anyone has other ideas? -Jim

Next steps with new review server
by Ian Wienand 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

Hi, We have a large server provided by Vexxhost up and running in a staging capacity to replace the current server at review02.openstack.org. I have started to track some things at [1] There's a couple of things: 1) Production database Currently, we use a hosted db. Since NoteDB this only stores review seen flags. We've been told that other sites treat this data as ephemeral; they use a H2 db on disk and don't worry about backing up or restoring across upgrades. I have proposed storing this in a mariadb sibling container with [2]. We know how to admin, backup and restore that. That would be my preference, but I'm not terribly fussed. If I could request some reviews on that; I'll take +2's as a sign we should use a container, otherwise we can leave it with H2 it has now. 2) IPv6 issues We've seen a couple of cases that are looking increasingly like stray RA's are some how assigning extra addresses, similar to [1]. Our mirror in the same region has managed to acquire 50+ default routes somehow. It seems like inbound traffic keeps working (why we haven't seen issues with other production servers?). But I feel like it's a little bit troubling to have undiagnosed before we switch our major service to it. I'm running some tracing, trying to at least catch a stray RA while the server is quite, in the etherpad. But suggestions here are welcome. -i [1] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/gerrit-upgrade-2021 [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/775961 [3] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1844712

Retirement of the Openstack/Opendev Asterisk service
by Ian Wienand 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hello, As part of ongoing service upgrades, we are proposing the retirement of the Asterisk-based SIP/voice conferencing tool [1]. The meetpad instance at https://meetpad.opendev.org/ has proven popular for recent events and provides better services for collaborative meetings. Please reach out if this service is important to you. If it is something you would like to maintain, it will require porting to our current Ansible and container-based infrastructure (there will be plenty of admins happy to help guide you). Otherwise we'll propose changes to remove the configuration soon. Thanks, -i [1] https://docs.opendev.org/opendev/system-config/latest/asterisk.html
