The Meeting name is 'fedora-server '

As usual, let's wait a moment for everybody to show up.

I'll post the agenda in 2-3 minutes.

!hello

Emmanuel Seyman (eseyman) - he / him / his

Hi, Peter Boy

Hi Emmanuel Seyman I was afraid you were busy with Perl. But that's next week.

I suspect the August meeting will be cancelled so I should be here next week

!hi

Paul Maconi (aggraxis) - he / him / his

Hi Paul!

Hi nirik I guess, you are lurking as usual - while busy with a lot of other things. So we would meet our quorum.

yeah, as usual. Can try and pay some attention. ;)

OK, thanks. So we can start.

Any comment / proposal here?

Obviously not. So

Regarding the action, nothing new. See

Has someone else something to add / to anounce here??

!hi

Jocelyn Gould (korora) - she / her / hers

Yay! you made it!

no, nothing to ss

Jocelyn (she/her): Welcome! I see you could make it nevertheless

OK, let's move on.

no, nothing to add

Tracking issue: !link https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/164

Sorry, I've still to update the link to the current test version.

Has anyone been able to test anything in the last week?

No, I should be able to get some done this weekend

No, I should be able to get some done this weekend

Yeah, same for me. At least it is scheduled on my todo list

We're wrapping up summer and headed into school starting next week, so I'm a little distracted. :)

I’ve been tied up with family stuff

I'm planning to test the interactive installation, UEFI, BIOS, single disk default and Softwarfe RAID 1

My test equipment ist already ready :-)

I'm just missing myself

We need someone to test the VM and checking our VM installation documentation at this occasion.

And we need some testing with aarch64 / SBC.

My testing will be on one of my SBC boards, I just don't know which one yet

And we need checks of the change proposals.

Yeah, officially QA wants to limit tests to Raspberry.

My testing will probably be on a VM. I lost access to my test machine (ran out of space to have it setup.)

Unfortunately, it is that model that is least ideal for server.

Jocelyn (she/her): VM would be great!

Do they specify a generation? I’ve got Pi 3B’s floating around.

Regarding RPI, I think it is 4. I don't jknow if support for 5 is already working.

I suspect we're talking about Pi 3 or 4

I think I have some 3Bs and a 4 somewhere. VM testing (from the iso and from the qcow image) are easy enough to do. I should probably see if the Cloud SIG wants any info from me, too, since I use the Cloud qcow most commonly in my setup.

Emmanuel Seyman: OK, as far as I remember, support for 5 is not ready yet.

So it 3 or 4

That's the impression I got at Flock

I am going to be working on setting up a pxe boot environment for my x86 machines. (Tiered of lugging around a pair of usb drives when I get the urge to do something different on my laptop. Would help with VM’s as well.

Jocelyn (she/her): PXE would be great! WE are missing this in our documentation so far. So, perhaps you could write down your steps and experiences, so it may be a base for documentation :-)

I have been wanting to write an Ansible playbook to setup a PXE boot server for some time now

I found some documents from the 36 release that I’m going to start with. I just have to be careful so I don’t muck my network up. I have to have it functional to work (and so that the Mrs and kids don’t break me for breaking the network)

I still want to learn how to leverage ansible.

Well, I suppose everything es said, so far and we can proceed.

I would like to swap topics 3 and 4. Otherwise, 4 might get left behind.

no Tracking issue

We should have a short talk about our plans.

Well we definitely want to get some testing in. :P

Paul Maconi (Aggraxis): heardly agreed. I hope we have more next week

FTR, I really want to package the more useful Ansible roles I use

I'm working on several things.

Apache vedeo conference openmeetings for Fedora / Fedora Server. It's special because it includes collaboration tools such as whiteboards, LibreOffice documents, etc.

It's mostly Java, and I'm familiar with this. But there is also a C++ part. I would need some help here, My C++ working was 2 decades ago.

And

This is OpenMeetings, right?

And I'm working on a mailserver hub. It's ready and already in productive use on several of my servers. I "just" have to write the documentation. And I need help with a Ansible playbook.

Emmanuel Seyman: Yes, Apache OpenMeetings.

Well, and I'm working on a Home Server version, bvut that's a bit back in the line.

Well, so far my ideas / plannings.

What are you thinking about future work?

I really just want to focus on packaging Ansible roles and documenting how to use them

I think, that's really great. That is part of our technical concept and overdue.

Maybe, you can help to develop an Ansible thingy for the mailservervice? It includes postfix, dovecot, assessin, and some minor things, too, as opendmarc, ....

I think, it's quite complex

I would be glad to

OK, I think, in 2-3 weeks I have a draft documentation hat is not only understandable to me.

So you could see what I'm doing and check, how to improve it and how to put it in Ansible.

Is anyone here familiar with C++ ? I'm a bit lost here.

Haven't done any since my student days

OK,, welcome to the club :-)

Any additional comment here?

It's been about 25 years, sorry

Yeah, I see C++ isn't popular here

I'll try to find someone of my students here (but most of them don't love C++ eithjer).

My C++ class helped me understand that I never wanted to be boxed in to just programming as a job. :)

:-O)

OK, let's switch to topic 3.

no Tracking issue

I may go back and update the proxmox guide

they have a new major version release that I'm going to check out

That would be very good! There may be updates necessary.

Yes, v9 just came out

I'm excited for them and also for the folks over at Debian on 13 coming out soon. lots of activity in the greater community.

Regarding the topic. We have neglected the issues and MRs for a long time. How can we get this under control?

As an example

It's really quite simple. But someone of us has to spent some minutes on it.

Hmm. I don't know that I'm getting notifications for issues on that project. I'll check that tonight after work.

Because you're right, that's an easy fix.

Paul Maconi (Aggraxis): The problem is, notification doesn't work anymore. I checked with Nirik, and we couldn't get it up and running.

Ok. It also looks like I'm not a member of the project, either

FTR, I can't reproduce the issue

How can one tell?

My idea would be, we make it a standard topic of out meeting, similiar to topic 1. But we would need someone to take a look onto it on a regular basis, and prepare the topic

I don't appear to be a member either

Go to https://pagure.io/fedora-server and click and 'members'

Oh, we have to update the member list in pagure. I forgot this! Sorry sorry. Will do it soon.

I can skim the new issues so we can bring them up

We also had the issue that the stg and prod branches were diverging more and more, IIRC

Paul Maconi (Aggraxis): ++1

We will include a topic next meeting about it.!

And yes, our branches diverge.

agreed, let's talk about this next week

and update the member list in the meantime

I just added Paul, but can't find a FAS name for Jocelyn, hm.

But OK, I resolve this in the next 2 days and we talk about it next week.

We have 5 mins left, so we can use it for open floor.

I'm good. I'll poke around issues and look for low hanging fruits to resolve

Paul Maconi (Aggraxis): 1++

Obviously there is nothing else at the moment. So we may close now. Objections?
