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: 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
  • 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
  • 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


Notes august 16

  • Nextcloud container is currently being upgraded

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

Wiki LDAP integration

  • (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 16

  • Ideas
    • experiment with changing the schema to support keys
    • could start with a scratch one with a couple of users I guess
    • A selective export
    • could be the first thing we do in osgeo7 container (that's at least on same local network)

Notes august 9

  • Wiki - I haven't seen the database still
  • Martin had created a backup

OSGeo Website topics

- anything outstanding SAC needs to be involved in?


  • Notes from August 9:
    • TODO (sponsors): close the related issues with Jive.
      • Never saw Jive on the IRC
  • Gravatar is now used in following pages: members page, board page
