Moving StarlingX into a Dedicated Zuul Tenant
by Clark Boylan 04 Aug '26

04 Aug '26

The OpenDev team has had the intention to take advantage of the multi tenancy that Zuul provides and create logically distinct tenants for entities like StarlingX, Zuul, etc. The current shared tenant doesn't provide enough flexibility for the projects to shape their CI jobs, and due to that in some cases it is also harder to manage. I am sending this email to kickstart the process to set up StarlingX's own tenant in a way that is suitable for the project's current needs. At a high level the process looks like this: 1. Create a new tenant in Zuul called "starlingx" 2. Create a new starlingx/project-config repo to house privileged Zuul configuration for the tenant (pipelines etc) 3. Identify current dependencies on resources within the current single tenant named "openstack" 4. Either fork and copy those dependencies into the new tenant or include the repos hosting those dependencies in the new tenant. If you include the repos instead of making forked copies then the maintainers of those repos will still have influence over your zuul tenant configuration. This may be acceptable. 5. Pick a day to remove git repos from the "openstack" tenant and add them to the "starlingx" tenant 6. On the chosen day make the switch, test Zuul jobs, and fix any errors that come up. At that point you'll be able to view your Zuul job statuses, builds, etc at https://zuul.opendev.org/t/starlingx/status instead of https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/status and you will have independent control of your Zuul configuration. Benefits of this change include: - Decoupling projects and their configuration errors from each other when they don't have a direct dependency on one another - Ability to have more control over pipeline configuration (OpenStack's clean check rules may not apply to everyone) - Cleaner Zuul status dashboard that only includes changes relevant to your work I'm sure this will create many questions. I'm happy to do my best to answer them and help you work through the process. The best way to get started with maintaining your Zuul tenant is to have folks from the project to work their way through the migration process. I will act as a guide and assistant. At the same time, the StarlingX community will need to make decisions along the way to have a well-established and reliable Zuul tenant to run CI jobs in the OpenDev infrastructure. Clark

[Important] New Trixie baseline
by Scott.Little 22 Jul '26

22 Jul '26

After your next repo-sync (or if you have already done a repo-sync since Jul 19) on pre-existing environments, you will need to update your build environment for the new debian_version and debian_snapshot_timestamp values. # 1. Update stx.conf from the new sample stx config --upgrade # 2. Download or Rebuild builder containers (picks up new snapshot URL) stx control stop # If download speeds are good, and you have no build system modifications in your work space ... ./stx-init-env # or if download speeds are poor, or build system modifications are present in your work space ... ./stx-init-env --rebuild # 3. Start and let the system recreate chroots on next build stx control start #4 Rebuild chroots downloader -b -s -B std,rt build-pkgs --refresh_chroots
