Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/2028061 - Fix merged on July 19 - No new sanity since last week; attempted sanity with July 19 build (last successful build), but hit issues that are under investigation; maybe env - Gerrit Reviews in Need of Attention - No Gerrit reviews needing discussion this week. - Reference Links: - Active Branch (open): https://review.opendev.org/q/projects:starlingx+is:open+branch:+master - Active Branch (merged): https://review.opendev.org/q/projects:starlingx+is:merged+branch:master Topics for this week - Launchpad status on automatically being updated -- Ghada Khalil - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-July/014331.html - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-July/014332.html - Please check your LPs and update the status manually (Fix Released) - including a link to the review - until the fix is rolled out - Fix should be rolled out soon, but we don't have a definitive timeline from the open-infra team - File Drop Utility on CENGN - used for large log files -- Scott Little - This was implemented by a coop, but stopped working 3 years ago (~2021) - This is now impacted by the CENGN transition. - Given there have been no complaints about this tool not working in 3 years, the community agreed that it is not needed. - dockerhub is cracking down on download limits -- Scott Little - This caused a number of builds to fail - Confirmed that the StarlingX open-source status is active - However, it appears that there is still a limit being applied (incorrectly) - 100 images every 6 hours -- dockerhub supporters are not clear why this is happening - Davlet introduced an option to workaround this issue by having individual users login instead of using the same corporate IP - Action: Davlet to share this info on the mailing list and also open a stx.docs launchpad to add this info permanently to the project docs - Another suggestion is to look at an alternative to dockerhub - Examples: quay.io / nexsus-repo community edition / harbour - https://quay.io - From Ildiko: some open-infra projects moved to quay due to the dockerhub limits. Perhaps we can get some input from them. - https://www.sonatype.com/products/sonatype-nexus-repository - This would have to be handled as a feature propsal / spec given the large scope - Work would be required by the Build team - Note: StarlingX uses open-source images as well which are hosted in dockerhub - ARs from Previous Meetings - Contributing ostree package management system to the debian community - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-July/014299.html - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-July/014311.html - Action: Greg Waines to follow up to ensure this content can be contributed to the Debian community. - Status: Closed. Greg followed up with Chuck Short (the developer working on this) and confirmed that the intent is to socialize and contribute this content to the Debian community. - Manifest repo re-configuration / split to allow stx-openstack to be built independently from the platform - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-June/014206.html - No concerns from the community regarding this proposal. - The key issue is scheduling time for the build team to implement the change. - Action: Build team to propose a timeline based on their priorities/availability. - Status - No update. Build team is focused on CENGN transition - StoryBoard tracking the work: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2010797 - Renaming App Repos to remove the "armada" - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-June/014215.html - Minor / cosmetic change. Lower priority, but would be nice to do. Should have no impact on runtime. - Action: Build team to propose a timeline based on their priorities/availability. (lower priority than the manifest repo re-config) - Status - No update. Build team is focused on CENGN transition - Will likely only be planned after splitting manifests for openstack - ARM Support - Action: Scott Kamp to respond to Jackie/the mailing list to provide assistance/access to some arm machines - Action: Scott Little to respond regarding build questions - Cannot mirror more files on CENGN; will need to wait until we transition away from CENGN - Action: Scott Kamp to explore providing a hosting env temporarily - No plan to publish images to dockerhub/starlingx until they are part of the official build infrastructure - Under discussion in the OS subproject meeting - Jackie is donating hardware, but it needs to be managed by someone - Status: Open ** will not explicitly be tracked here moving forward ** - This is being tracked by the TSC; so we don't need to track it in the community call as well. Open Requests for Help - Help w/ Install - Two people asking for help with installation on IRC - Bruno is trying to help them, but it appears that they are in a different timezone. If others can participate, it would be great. - Status: Open - Discussion is continuing between Bruno and others on IRC - The questions are a mix of how to setup a virtual env as well the installation itself - For virtual env, there are two options currently: vbox & libvirt/kvm - Note: There is recent effort to get libvirt/kvm working. Email reference: https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-July/014267.html - Issue w/ pxebooting a second node on StarlingX - Question raised on the community call (Apr 26) by Kevin - The initial node installs/boots correctly, but but an identical second node doesn't. This setup is using vmare to run StarlingX in VMs. - Status: Open / Greg has some information to share, but isn't sure how to get in touch w/ Kevin - July 26: Agreed to remove due to lack of updates - Build System Setup - Question was posted on IRC by Kevin - StarlingX documentation has a lot of outdated information. It took a lot of digging to find the right documentation for setting up a build env with minikube. - Requested that Kevin open an LP to the doc team and/or send an email to the mailing list w/ more details to the mailing list - Status: Open / No email sent to the mailing list yet. Unsure if LP was opened. - July 26: Agreed to remove due to lack of updates - Support for StarlingX 8 setup bring up - Reported by Prashanthi - Email thread: https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-April/014026.htm... - Status: - Open / Discussion is active on the mailing list. Greg providing assistance. The issues are related to date/time issues on servers being setup as well as firewall issues - CURRENTLY PAUSED ... Prashanthi had higher internal priorities that have taken her away from looking at StarlingX for the time being; waiting for Prashanthi to get back to us. - July 26: Agreed to remove due to lack of updates
