clarkb#topic Announcements19:00
clarkb#link https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22x/events/open-infra-days CFP for Open Infra Days event at SCaLE is open until November 119:00
clarkbThat is this week so get your proposals in before it is too late if you are interested19:00
clarkbAlso Europe has switched off of DST last weekend and North America is doing so this weekend. Australia did it at the beginning of october (though they went onto DST not off of it)19:01
clarkball that is a reminder that you should check your scheduels and meetings and make sure that you don't have any conflicts and that times are correct19:01
frickleryes, finally not quite so late meeting time for me :)19:01
clarkbI also wanted to call out that November is a busy month for me outside of work (and probably for the rest of us in the USA as well). Next week we have our big election and then I'm out friday/monday ish (monday is a holiday) and then at the end of the month is Thanskgiving19:03
clarkbI've looked at my calendar and I don't believe any of our regularly scheduled meetings will be cancelled as a result, but I just wanted to make sure people are aware of everything goign on19:03
clarkbanything else to announce?19:04
clarkb#topic Zuul-launcher image builds19:05
clarkbI believe the main thing here is adding more image build jobs19:05
clarkbtonyb has previously volunteered to write those jobs. Not sure if tonyb is awake yet, but any questions or concerns?19:05
clarkbI guess not. We can proceed and if there are question later get back to them at the tail end of the meeting19:07
clarkb#topic Backup Server Pruning19:07
clarkbLast week I went ahead and cleaned up ethercalc02 backups on the vexxhost server. As far as I can tell automation didn't recreate them19:08
clarkb#link https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/933354 Documentation of cleanup process applied to ethercalc02 backups.19:08
fungioh, right, i was going to look at this today19:08
clarkbI wrote up what I did in this change so that we can have a concrete set of steps and also review what I did19:08
clarkbianw has some comments in there I want to respond to as well19:09
clarkbbut if that looks good then we can proceed with additiopnal cleanup19:10
clarkbwe're at 92% disk utilization on that backup server so we should consider regular pruning if this cleanup doesn't proceed super quickly19:10
clarkbany other backup feedback/concerns/etc?19:10
clarkb#topic Updating Gerrit Cache Sizes19:11
clarkbMoving on we discussed this last week as well and tl;dr is gerrit was complaining about caches being super small compared to their actual size and needing to do a lto of pruning on startup19:11
clarkbwe didn't restart anything last week due to the distactions of the ptg19:11
clarkb#link https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/932763 increase sizes for four gerrit caches19:12
clarkbthis week is much better for that. I can probably do that first thing tomorrow (or some other time tomorrow) if the change looks good19:12
fungiseems like we could do it any time this week, yep19:12
fungitomorrow sounds fine to me19:12
frickler+119:13
clarkb#topic Upgrading old servers19:13
clarkbanything new on this topic? I haven't seen anything myself and I'm hopign I'll be able to start looking at gerrit upgrade stuff in November19:14
fungii don't think so19:15
clarkb#topic Docker compose plugin with podman service for servers19:15
clarkbI don't think there is anything new for this either and it is related to the previous topic in that picking a small service like paste and upgrading its server and also updating how we run docker/podman/compose in the process is the proposed path forard19:15
clarkbI think we can get that all working in the CI jobs first too to get a first early set of feedback on top of what corvus has already done19:16
clarkbok we're going to make record time today19:18
clarkb#topic Etherpad 2.2.6 Upgrade19:18
clarkb#link https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/933618 Upgrade Etherpad to version 2.2.619:18
clarkbHeld node at 158.69.73.1. Need to test pad creator deletion and if it works with our no auth setup19:18
fungiawesome19:19
clarkbthere is a new etherpad release which I have a chagne up for a held not to do testing.19:19
clarkbI haven't tested it yet and the only thing called out in the cahngelog is the new ability for pad creators to delete a pad19:19
clarkbI want to see if/how that works with our lack of authentication before we upgrade using the held node19:19
clarkbafter this meeting I'll eat lunch and then start looking at that. I'll also pop out for a bike ride so not sure if that happens immediately after the meeting or not yet19:20
clarkband its a good time to upgrade etherpad with the ptg being over19:20
clarkb#topic Open Discussion19:21
clarkbAnything else?19:21
fricklerone thing to note are the recurring (twice at least so far) issues with zuul-registry stopping to work19:21
clarkbya though the most recent one seemed to be at a host level maybe?19:21
fricklercorvus did a restart on friday and it worked for a day or so and today it was broken again19:21
funginot strictly opendev, but i have some ptgbot fixes up for review too which should get jobs for it passing again19:22
clarkbIf that happens again I wonder if we need to tcpdump and check if packages are reaching the server?19:22
clarkbs/packages/packets/19:22
fricklerI still have a hold active for the sdk job19:22
fricklerso once it fails again, we can recheck the push command and see the output. currently it is hidden by no_log I think19:23
clarkb++ between tcpdump and service logs hopefully we can figure it out19:23
frickleralso maybe the swift container could use some cleanup19:24
fricklerabout 4M objects and 16 TB of space19:24
clarkbas noted the easiest thing may be to just switch to a new container, force changes to recheck if necessary then figure out deletion of the old container19:24
clarkbor test the prune command and fallback to ^19:25
clarkbfrickler: maybe you can add this to the meeting agenda for next week and we can think it over this week/debug further if necessary then decide on a plan going fowrard?19:25
frickleryes, I can do that19:25
clarkbthanks!19:26
frickleralso a quick ref to the discussion on the tc meeting earlier about the issues with the zanata job19:26
fricklerjust in case someone reading here might want to help with that19:26
clarkbtl;dr on that is openstack is dropping python3.8 support but zanata requires java8 which runs on the python3.8 platform19:27
clarkbso there is a mismatch in tooling. The ideal solution is to finish the weblate migration and leave zanata behind but I think the tc said there would be followup on the i18n list?19:28
fungi(to be clear, ubuntu bionic is the last lts to provide java8, and its default python is 3.8)19:28
fricklerwell requirements has dropped py3.8 specific constraints from u-c on the master branch, to be more specific19:28
fungiyeah, stable branch translation jobs are still working as a resuly19:29
fungiresult19:29
fricklerand yes, switching to weblate would be the best path going forward IMO19:29
clarkbalso meetpad did upgrade19:31
clarkband it still works19:31
clarkbI'll leave things open until 19:35 but if there is nothing else we can stop at that point19:32
fungioh, as mentioned earlier in #opendev, the recent mailman upgrade makes it so list owners can now delete posts and threads, so we no longer need a super user intervention for spam cleanup19:33
fricklerI also tested the admin interface fwiw, seems to work fine19:34
fricklerI noticed there's some bounce handling options, maybe we can discuss activating that for some lists?19:34
fricklerI can add it to the agenda for next time, so ppl have time to think about it19:35
clarkbfrickler: you mean things like auto unsubscribe?19:35
clarkb++ to adding that to the agenda19:35
fricklerclarkb: yes, auto unsubscribe, but with tunable parameters19:35
fricklerhttps://lists.openstack.org/mailman3/lists/openstack-discuss.lists.openstack.org/settings/bounce_processing19:36
clarkback would be a good topic for next week19:36
clarkbI'll go ahead and end here now19:36
clarkbthank you everyone for your time19:36
clarkband we'll be back next tuesday same time and location (though relative to your local timezone it may shift)19:36
