Where and When

Agenda

Our new hardware has landed, OSUOSL has already been instructioned to install Ubuntu 18.04
Need to fill in Wiki page and get started doing something with it SAC_Service_Status#osgeo_7.
We need to flesh out the setup details and start setting it up Osgeo7.

Notes: August 16

no VPN access yet.
Need to deploy our admins to keys to their matching users on various machines so at least the core people can stop using password based on login
we install lxd I assume we will go with zfs for storage
- https://lxd.readthedocs.io/en/stable-2.0/storage-backends/ (storage backends)
- seems like btrfs has more features
are we going to have external network access?
Maybe want at least 3-4 database containers, one for system/internal databases, one for user databases, one for web content, and another for dev.
base system should be authentication for ssh, lxd and backup client
storage driver usable inside a container means we can't use zfs commands inside the containers directly
the snapshot thingy sounds kinda important to me at lease for development stuff, no as important for stable stuff I guess
We should jot down these ideas on osgeo7 though before we forget

Notes: August 9

Looks like wildintellect working on getting his VPN account setup
requests/added to VPN access from strk, robe2, TemptorSent, Martin, jef
TemptorSent did have some good notes and links now added to the osgeo7 page on how to do the setup
VPN access is only needed to bootstrap using the IPMI.
are we asking OSUOSL to do the basic install or just stick a thumb drive in and we do it?
possible steps:
- figure out the correct installer,
- work out where to put the /boot with grub
- ask OSUOSL to put in a flash drive with what we need
- /boot can be any FS type technically, especially if it's not on the spinning rust
other option
- wouldn't the correct one just be this - http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso
- not use desktop image would liable to install junk like a desktop
there we can do a normal install to the SSD, then copy the install over to ZFS formatted drives

Board's request for sync+share storage replacement of Dropbox
- TODO: robe - I really want to speed this up before handing to board to test after I will send a note to OSGEO board. Note we'll eventually move this to OSGeo7 once OSGeo7 server is set up

Notes August 9

https://nextcloud.osgeo.org
Has anyone done any playing with nextcloud to see what we might need to tweak?
have to announce to the board, but really wanted to improve the speed cause it's really slow
coordinate with board to migrate their content from dropbox to nextcloud

(how do we move forward) wrt to approaches what are we willing to put up with 165
- TODO: Martin Spott and TemptorSent explore logistics of setting up a sandbox we can test.

Notes august 9:

- anything outstanding SAC needs to be involved in?
