SAC Meeting 2018-08
Where and When
- in IRC on Freenode, channel: osgeo-sac Thursday Aug 9th 2018 20 UTC
- Web IRC client: https://webchat.freenode.net/
Agenda
Talk about hardware plans
- 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:
- 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
Nextcloud,
- 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
Wiki LDAP integration
- (how do we move forward) wrt to approaches what are we willing to put up with 165
