19:04:22 zaro: yes 19:04:30 fungi: it is possible 19:04:32 ohai 19:04:39 zaro: yeah, it sounds like they might be pretty strict about the 30 attendees limit 19:04:57 o/ 19:05:14 #topic Actions from last meeting 19:05:14 i don't want to take a seat away from someone else that will be there all week 19:05:23 #link http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/infra/2016/infra.2016-08-09-19.04.html 19:05:29 there were none 19:05:38 zaro: then you might not get a seat if you try to attend, your call 19:05:51 #topic Specs approval 19:06:01 we have nothing new this week 19:06:29 #topic Priority Efforts: Infra-cloud (rcarrillocruz) 19:06:38 says you have an update? 19:06:41 yeah 19:06:49 so, it seems we got past all DC and net issues 19:06:57 i set up the bifrost controller 19:07:06 and spotted few bugs on bifrost since we last used it 19:07:13 but with in place fixes 19:07:19 happy to report i can provision nodes from it 19:07:26 i showed up a deploy to pabelanger today 19:07:36 i'm more than happy to show how the thing works to whoever is interested 19:07:54 and let me know if you want to help out 19:07:57 that it 19:07:58 that's excellent! 19:08:01 thanks! 19:08:04 awesome rcarrillocruz 19:08:13 as a matter of fact 19:08:18 another redeploy just in time: 19:08:21 "2016-08-16 19:07:42.901 9824 INFO ironic.drivers.modules.agent_base_vendor [req-03204eef-f9d5-4524-b459-91e307d62a8a - - - - -] Deployment to node d1d4232d-91ec-41d9-9f9b-80350ae9f048 done" 19:08:23 :-D 19:08:46 nice 19:09:09 do we need to revuew changes for puppeting mitaka? 19:09:56 rcarrillocruz: cool, could you do some sort of "intro to" session in irc/something at a known time, if a few people are interested? count me as one... 19:09:58 i believe crinkle started something for that? 19:10:14 ianw: sure, i believe we overlap during my morning for an hour or so 19:10:23 more than happy to do so in a screen session or something 19:10:45 rcarrillocruz: if there's no private info, you could do this: http://amo-probos.org/post/17 19:11:00 ah nice 19:11:02 rcarrillocruz: https://github.com/yudai/gotty is a great tool for pop-up terminal sharing sessions 19:11:05 i think it would be fine 19:11:11 or that 19:11:21 no passwords are shown by default on ansible output 19:11:41 maybe agree a date/time on ML so people can join ? 19:11:55 if it's not currently on mitaka then i haven't started anything 19:12:41 looks like it is mitaka http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/puppet-infracloud/tree/manifests/controller.pp#n24 19:12:53 oh, even better 19:13:08 so nothing to do there for a few more weeks :) 19:13:32 anything else we need to cover on infra-cloud? 19:14:03 nothing from me 19:14:11 thanks! 19:14:13 #topic Priority Efforts: A Task Tracker for OpenStack (zaro) 19:14:15 #link https://review.openstack.org/347486 Enable gerrit/storyboard integration 19:14:29 zaro: anything specific about this change? 19:14:34 look in commit message of #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/347486/ 19:14:46 it hasn't been enabled yet. we need to enable it 19:15:07 should we just enable for all projects? 19:15:45 what's the potential impact? other than letting changes for those projects update sb stories and tasks through commit message lines? 19:15:57 btw, i think that general task tracker effort is Zara 19:16:05 yeah, I'm just watching rn 19:16:06 sounds like something we'd just want to enable globally for all repos 19:16:17 i think so 19:16:19 (since my questions are being covered at this very moment :)) 19:16:33 zaro: i moved your topic into the priority effort slot because it's related to a priority effort 19:17:06 no other impacts i guess 19:17:07 Zara didn't mention anything specific on the agenda, so i figured she'd chime in if needed 19:17:29 anybody opposed to us enabling storyboard integration for all projects in our gerrit? 19:17:31 yeah, I got the impression an infra core needed to do something to enable it? so I'm just watching atm, but if there's something I should do, please let me know 19:18:38 i'll take this silence as a tacit agreement 19:18:42 \o/ 19:18:58 #agreed We'll enable Storyboard integration for all projects in our Gerrit 19:19:18 so I know what's going on and don't annoy people, who needs to do what to make that happen? 19:19:39 #action fungi Add [plugin "its-storyboard"] enabled = true to All-Projects config per https://review.openstack.org/347486 19:19:48 oh haha ace 19:19:59 i'll also update our sample config in the system-config docs while i'm at it 19:20:04 fungi, I'm back earlier than expected, can talk wiki stuff when it comes up 19:20:08 :) 19:20:12 Krenair: thanks--we will! 19:20:23 fungi: thank you! :) 19:20:24 Zara: zaro: anything else on this? 19:20:26 \o/ 19:20:32 nope 19:20:35 not from me, yaaaaay I'm so happy! :D 19:20:48 #topic Priority Efforts: Zuul v3 (jeblair) 19:20:57 for the nodepool zookeeper work (which i consider on the critical path for zuulv3) we wanted to avoid a feature branch and try to land small stepwise changes. that's going to be very difficult, and probably not have the intended effect anyway, so i've created a feature/zuulv3 branch of nodepool where we can work on swapping out the builder. 19:21:21 i still think we should adhere to the spirit of that, and once we have the zookeeper builder ready, start running it and merge it into master 19:21:41 jeblair: so it's specifically for separate (but related) priority nodepool spec we have? 19:21:59 #link http://specs.openstack.org/openstack-infra/infra-specs/specs/nodepool-zookeeper-workers.html Nodepool: Use Zookeeper for Workers 19:22:07 fungi: yep, i may have misfiled under the agenda :) 19:22:15 no worries. close enough 19:22:31 off by one 19:23:04 we are going to tag a release prior as well right? 19:23:09 or did that already happen 19:23:13 clarkb: already done 19:23:24 well, we discussed it briefly late last week in #zuul i think, but i'm still in favor now 19:24:16 0.3.0 is the 'nodepool before zookeeper' tag 19:24:20 we also tagged zuul 19:24:31 clarkb: yeah, some weeks ago we tagged a final pre-zk version for nodepool and made an announcement to downstreams that they might ought to pin to that 19:25:09 zuul was tagged as 2.5 in keeping with it being the culmination of the "v2.5" ansible-launcher work, even though that meant skipping a couple of minor version numbers to get there 19:25:17 o/ 19:26:14 i also think that we'll be able to switch fairly easily between current nodepool builders and zk when the time comes 19:26:31 (if something goes awry) 19:27:23 [that's all i had on the topic] 19:27:43 okay, so we should expect some transitional period where we may go back and forth between the old and new style builders along with zuul v2(.5)? 19:28:05 yeah, that's what i'm thinking. 19:28:20 well in advance of zuul v3 running in production anyway 19:28:22 though, hopefully without the back-and-forth. :) 19:28:34 only forth! 19:28:37 * Shrews expects perfect integration the first time 19:28:46 yeah, the nodepool zk builders are still pre-zuulv3 19:29:00 as soon as it's ready we should start using it 19:29:06 wfm 19:29:10 thanks 19:29:26 anybody have other questions on this? 19:29:32 (then make sure we like it before we go all in on zk for the nodepool launcher) 19:29:59 * fungi sallies forth to general meeting topics 19:30:09 #topic Gerrit online index testing (zaro) 19:30:21 zaro: so what's going on with this? 19:30:35 so just to give everyone background on this topic. 19:30:49 i am attempting to test the new gerrit online reindex feature on review-dev 19:31:14 i initially tried to import nova into review-dev so we can get some prod like data to test with 19:31:30 but that really just wasn't working due to how the importer plugin works 19:32:00 fungi suggested we just pump changes into review-dev to load up it up for testing, so just fake data 19:32:07 lack of corresponding accounts for change owners/reviewers and whatnot, if memory serves? 19:32:15 i've done that, so now review-dev has about ~100k changes 19:32:25 zaro: awesome 19:32:27 fungi: yes, and plugin had bugs 19:32:34 bugs? impossible ;) 19:32:49 and i've tested with just me poking at review-dev while reindexer is runnning 19:33:02 everything seems good but that's not the test i was after. 19:33:27 i wanted to run online reindex and have multiple users use review-dev while it's running. 19:33:49 how long does the reindex take with 100k changes? 19:33:52 but problem now is review-dev is low on resources due to much more changes that got pumpped in 19:34:02 anteaya: about 1.5-2hrs 19:34:09 thanks 19:34:28 if we want that better test then we need to up the resources on review-dev 19:34:44 so next suggestion i think was that we could rebuild review-dev on a bigger instance 19:34:58 keep the db/homedir from the old server 19:35:13 more RAM and more disk please! 19:35:19 ohh cpu too 19:35:19 how much more? 19:35:46 yeah, that's the main question 19:35:55 if i had a list of flavors to pick from that would be great 19:36:12 they mostly double except after 15 it goes to 30 19:36:17 for gigabytes of ram 19:36:37 maybe just half of whatever's on prod would be enough 19:36:48 i think currently it's only got 4gig 19:37:00 looks like current review-dev is a 4gb flavor 19:37:02 yeah 19:37:26 prod is 30 right? 19:37:27 is half of prod asking too much 19:37:28 ? 19:37:33 review.o.o (prod) is 60gb 19:37:35 prod is 60gg 19:37:39 ah 19:37:56 and disk space on review-dev is really low 19:38:16 I personally have no objection 19:38:22 it is based on quota, yeah? 19:38:27 have we quota available? 19:38:34 though keep in mind we only really bumped production because we thought it would help the java gc memory pressure. instead that seems to just be a leak so no amount of extra ram is going to help 19:39:00 yeah, well aware of that. 19:39:03 disk space doesn't really change on the new flavors, we ought to just move ~gerrit2/review_site into a cinder volume 19:39:15 ++ there 19:39:19 we can make that as big as we want, effectively 19:39:40 (or at least bigger than we'll need for this purpose) 19:40:34 okay, so while 30gb is a bit much, perhaps we could rebuild again on a smaller flavor once you're done trying to heavily load-test it? 19:40:47 sure. 19:41:12 also, any infra-core volunteers to launch the new review-dev server and add a cinder volume to it? 19:41:56 Me 19:42:00 also i have tested the project change scenario with online reindex and it works like a charm. 19:42:15 project change/ project name change 19:42:28 fungi: ^ 19:42:32 zaro: that is good to know, thank you 19:42:54 fungi: i'm new to it, but can help with maybe some pointers 19:43:05 #action rcarrillocruz launch new 30gb review-dev and add an appropriately sized cinder volume for ~gerrit2/review_site 19:43:33 ianw: maybe you and rcarrillocruz have some overlap time at the end of your day and early on his 19:43:44 Yup 19:43:48 definitely team up. we have stuff pretty heavily documented 19:44:12 anything else for the gerrit online reindex testing? 19:44:20 cool 19:44:21 nope. 19:44:39 #topic wiki status update (jpmaxman, Krenair, fungi) 19:44:59 * Krenair waves 19:45:16 thanks to jpmaxman's great testing and instructions, i manually upgraded production wiki.openstack.org in-place to mw 1.27 and ubuntu trusty on friday 19:45:32 thank you 19:45:37 \o/ 19:45:41 :) how's the spam? 19:45:47 seems to be working well so far. hasn't put a stop to spam but the newer captcha for confirmedit seems to have drastically reduced it 19:45:48 haven't checked if it actually worked 19:46:11 we got several new accounts adding spam pages on saturday, and another one a few hours ago 19:46:22 but previous weeks that would have been an order of magnitude higher 19:47:00 since the upgrade there have been more days with no new spammers than with them 19:47:15 cool - so some spam is still getting through? 19:47:24 jpmaxman: yeah, just not nearly as much 19:47:27 does this spam (that still gets through) contain links? 19:47:37 ok well it is a start! 19:47:51 same kind of spam though (phone numbers for scammers claiming to provide software/hardware support) 19:47:59 Krenair: nah, not for the most part 19:48:04 it's phone number spam 19:48:07 ah 19:48:15 I mean if it is really a person - I guess there isn't a lot to be done 19:48:15 yeah we have that on mediawiki.org sometimes 19:48:44 also curious to try turning file uploads back on and seeing if confirmedit is covering those with the captcha now 19:48:46 stop bots from indexing the wiki 19:49:03 anteaya: that's an option we're still reserving as a possibility 19:49:04 that is still an option 19:49:08 right 19:49:21 heh 19:49:23 yeah I mean ideally you want people to find the content through a google search 19:49:29 and past experience shows that vitually eliminates the spam 19:49:29 though i'd also like to see if we can give the stopforumspam blacklist extension a shot 19:49:40 that is fair 19:50:33 basically they track and maintain a live list of ip addresses where they see abusive comments originating from, and the extension refuses to allow page edits from those ip addresses 19:50:36 jpmaxman: what we would really like is for people to find docs.openstack.org and git.openstack.org via search engines 19:50:37 ahh that reminds me 19:50:39 imagine if wikipedia.org did that anteaya 19:50:47 There is an additional configuration option for this module, $wgReCaptchaSendRemoteIP (default: false), which, if set to true, sends the IP address of the current user to a server from Google while verifying the CAPTCHA 19:50:58 Krenair: the business model is different 19:51:13 jpmaxman: oh, so maybe nocaptcha has some built-in ip address blacklisting too? 19:51:20 fungi we can try setting that to true - seems similar to stopforumspam blacklist but baked into the nocaptcha 19:51:25 yeah we just didn't enable it 19:52:09 worth a try. the risk obviously is we're disclosing ip addresses to a third party, but... we'd be doing that via things like google analytics too 19:52:13 Krenair: one of our options is not having a wiki 19:53:02 anteaya: Krenair: right. on the spectrum of options we're evaluating, having a wiki that isn't indexed by major search engines might still be a good compromise between having a wiki full of spam or having no wiki at all 19:53:06 so next steps - Krenair I still need to go through your commits one thing I brought up with fungi was apache config changes for hosting the site in /srv/mediawiki - I wasn't sure if there was a reason for that - would be able to keep more defautls if it was in /var/www 19:53:15 fungi: right 19:53:30 jpmaxman: oh, right, i was still composing an e-mail reply 19:53:38 jpmaxman, isn't that the existing place puppet puts it? 19:53:49 I don't think I changed that 19:53:58 we mostly try to follow the filesystem hierarchy standard and not write non-packaged, static content into /var 19:54:04 I'm not sure - just on the existing server it is /srv/mediawiki 19:54:26 pretty much all our apache vhosts are served out of /srv/something on our servers 19:54:45 ok - that's fine - just need to consider that for Krenair puppet config 19:54:54 which we often (as will also be the case with wiki.o.o) mount from a separate cloud block storage device 19:55:13 ubuntu apache package assumes /var/www and adds some config options to that directory which need to then be applied to the alternate location 19:55:13 You're referring to this change jpmaxman? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/352033/1/templates/apache/mediawiki.erb 19:55:53 sorry Krenair - I'm just talking generally - I apologize I haven't taken a dive into the changes 19:56:11 if it's already considered then just ignore me :) 19:56:17 It's not considered 19:56:19 It's not relevant 19:56:35 The existing directory puppet uses is under /srv 19:56:54 Changing MW and Ubuntu versions doesn't affect that 19:57:15 i think the underlying point was that when updating our apache vhost config in production to cope with the apache 2.2 to 2.4 move there were (typical) updates needed to directory allow/grant and options 19:57:21 ok I had to make some changes going 2.2 --> 2.4 - you have one in here - Require all granted 19:57:31 I'll double check if anything else is necessary 19:57:34 it may not be 19:58:18 jpmaxman was suggesting that using /var/www instead of /srv/mediawiki might make that unnecessary, but i'm pretty sure 1. it won't since we still need some pretty specific directory blocks for various mediawiki bits, and 2. we would rather stick with /srv for other reasons i already mentioned 19:58:40 jpmaxman: Krenair i have a diff i can link, just a sec, before the meeting ends 19:59:12 fungi: agreed. The only reason it is not necessary is ubuntu package for apache puts it in the "upstream" conf for /var/www 19:59:28 #link http://paste.openstack.org/show/558525 apache vhost diff for 2.2 to 2.4 update 19:59:30 it's more important I'd think to keep things consistent with your other servers 19:59:56 thanks for the meeting fungi 19:59:58 anyway, we're out of time 20:00:08 oh, also before i endmeeting, reminder 20:00:08 I have the verify-status plugin (publishing test metadata to gerrit) on #link http://138.68.20.113:8080/#/c/2/ if anyone is interested to see how it works. 20:00:19 * amrith waits for the doors to open 20:00:23 fungi, um. 20:00:24 #link https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:wiki-upgrade+is:open changes for wiki puppetization 20:00:27 thanks for that Krenair! 20:00:34 #endmeeting
