[Starlingx-discuss] Trouble getting Rook installed on Virtual AIO Duplex
by Lennart Hagemann 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

Hi, I'm new to starlingx and playing around with it in a lab environment. I was following https://docs.starlingx.io/deploy_install_guides/r7_release/virtual/aio_dupl… and chose to set up rook as the storage backend. In the optional steps for rook it tells you "Wait for the rook-ceph-apps application to be uploaded" but I didn't see the application. Uploading it (and where you can download the manifest) was not discussed in the docs so I eventually figured it should have been automatically been uploaded when I add the storage backend? I removed the storage backend and re-added it, no application was uploaded so I checked the latest puppet logs where it exits during prefetching apt when executing /usr/bin/dpkg-query -W. I ran that command by hand and I do receive a syntax error "syntax error in triggers deferred file '/var/lib/dpkg/triggers/Unincorp' at line 1 character 65 ''. The content of the file is: 192.168.204.3:/var/rootdirs/opt/platform/sysinv/22.06:0x00000001 I think that might be a leftover from installation, but I am not entirely sure. I removed the file for testing purposes and dpkg-query -W did indeed execute successfully now. Re-Added the storage backend again, but no application appeared. The puppet run did run without errors though. So my most important questions are: Is the rook application actually supposed to upload itself automatically when adding the backend or do I need to upload it manually? If the latter, where can I find the manifest? Only found openstack manifests. If it does upload automatically, where can I dig deeper to gather more information on why it fails? Regards, Lennart

[Starlingx-discuss] Proposed timeline for CENGN Debian only builds in stx8.0
by Miller, Frank 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

StarlingX Community: As discussed at the previous 2 PTGs, the stx.8.0 release will be based solely on Debian and no longer based on CentOS. Currently we are building both CentOS and Debian based ISOs on a nightly basis and the plan for stx.8.0 is to transition to Debian only. At last week's PTG we identified the criteria [1] to be used to determine when CentOS builds can be stopped during the stx.8.0 release. The current view is this is expected to occur sometime in December 2022 once stx-openstack is shown to be applied and running on a Debian based StarlingX ISO. At that point stx.8.0 builds would be Debian only. (Note we will continue to support CentOS builds when required for stx.6.0 and stx.7.0.) If anyone has any questions or concerns please reply to this email or bring them up at our next community meeting. Frank [1] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/stx-ptg-planning-october-2022

by Brito, Thiago 27 Oct '22

Hey folks, As I'm moving on from WindRiver to a new opportunity, I won't be able to be an active contributor on StarlingX (at least for the time being). Therefore, I'm resigning my core roles on the following repositories: * openstack-armada-app * hem-charts * upstream * utilities Thank you for all the collaboration on the past releases. I wish you all the best on the releases to come and hope we cross paths again someday. Best regards, Thiago

[Starlingx-discuss] Resigning from StarlingX TSC
by Qi, Mingyuan 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

Hi folks, With mixed emotion, I decide to step down from StarlingX TSC. Our team was with STX since the founding of the project in 2018. We had tremendous achievements collaborating with the community members in the past years. It has been a great pleasure working with you! As a community member, we have precious memories here in each feature development, in each release, in each event(f2f or virtually). I really appreciate your help and support for me and for the team. Now, our team is beginning a new journey and could no longer contribute to the community. But it's a small world, I wish you all the best and wish we could cross path again in the future. Best Regards, Mingyuan

[Starlingx-discuss] Upcoming TSC and PL/TL elections
by Ildiko Vancsa 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

Hi StarlingX Community, It is a friendly reminder that the time for the fall election[1] period is coming up fast and therefore we need to start planning the process. We need to decide on timeframe for the elections. For TSC we have a nomination, a campaign and a voting period, while for PL/TL elections we have a nomination and a voting period defined officially. We are looking for a 3-week timeframe in the fall that doesn’t collide with any major holidays or milestones in the release process. To avoid major events as well the proposed timeline would be the following: TSC nomination starts @ November 01, 2022 20:45 UTC TSC nomination ends @ November 08, 2022 20:45 UTC PL/TL nomination starts @ November 01, 2022 20:45 UTC PL/TL nomination ends @ November 08, 2022 20:45 UTC TSC campaigning starts @ November 08, 2022 20:45 UTC TSC campaigning ends @ November 15, 2022 20:45 UTC TSC election starts @ November 15, 2022 20:45 UTC TSC election ends @ November 22, 2022 20:45 UTC PL/TL election starts @ November 15, 2022 20:45 UTC PL/TL election ends @ November 22, 2022 20:45 UTC Similarly to last year we have an empty TSC seat[2] that we could try to fill for a half-term during an interim TSC election once the regular elections ended. The interim elections need separate dates to avoid confusions with the regular process. Would the TSC and community prefer to runt he interim elections this time around as well? Please think about your preference about the election process to make sure that people are available to submit nominations as well as to be able to vote in the election process. If you have any questions or comments please reply to this thread or reach out to the election officials[3]. Thanks, [1] https://docs.starlingx.io/election/ [2] https://docs.starlingx.io/governance/reference/tsc/index.html [3] https://docs.starlingx.io/election/#election-officials
