last week I worked on an Ansible role to manage /etc/hosts, based on a request from alastairp. It's not deployed yet but should be real soon (tm).

™

that role + yvanzo's doc to migrate volumes <3

mayhem: yes to deploying the metadata viewer, especially if it's hidden by secret route

I also hacked up a script that queried all the servers, pulled information on running Docker containers and then rendered a web page.

aside from that, just a few other minor Ansible related bits and bobs, and then watched zas deploy several new servers in a matter of minutes

very cool. thanks for your continued efforts!

I think zas and Ansible are becoming a single entity

zansible?

that's it from me, go zas...

:D

(Only bitmap, yvanzo, and myself left for reviews. Last call for anyone else who wish to give review!)

apart usual supervision, user support, Picard PRs reviews, I mainly worked on migrating a bunch of servers to Ansible + OS upgrade

zasible

the process is now smooth (thanks to atj's work)

in the Hetzner physical servers set, only aretha remains (and frank, but we'll see when AB API will be down)

I'm starting to plan migration of virtual servers

that's it for me. bitmap?

hey

last week I worked on the area containment schema change PR - https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

I'm still working on addressing the review feedback there

(though now I'm hitting MBS-12131 after Arch updated PG to v14, so I'll probably spend time today addressing that first)

MBS-12131: InitDb fails at Creating Functions https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12131

I also helped move metabrainz.org and musicbrainz-production-cron containers from hip to trille. thanks a lot to yvanzo for helping document the instructions for that

and I submitted some fixes to the mb2wikidatabot Dockerfile and consul-template config while reosarevok was debugging it

fin! go yvanzo

hi all, half five to aerozol

Last week I helped with preparing a few servers (serge, hip, trille, zappa) to be moved to ansible.

Also upgraded our Jira server after the security advisory CVE-2022-0540.

Fixed the search server at test.mb.o thanks to lucifer’s help with debugging.

Successfully tested and merged a patch to SIR by ta264 that will decrease the load on both the primary server and mirrors.

Also updated the Docker image for SIR (and its base image) to fix syslog warnings.

Addressed security issues with development setup in MB Solr and MB Docker.

Plus PR reviews and support, fin. Go Freso?

half five <3

🙋

Had someone reaching out to us about having their name disconnected completely from their "del editor #" in forum posts etc. that I dealt with. Security meeting last week. Other than that, the usual dealing with reports, flags, being around/about etc.

fin.

Which wraps up reviews!

Thank you everyone for yours!

A few items on the agenda, let’s see how much we can get through. :)

ruaok: Summit

mayhem: ^

right. GSoC isn't going to hold a summit, but I think it might just be time to have one.

given that we have FOUR team members that most of us haven't met.

there is still a lot of travel uncertainty (I haven't restarted my personal travels yet) so we shouldn't go overboard.

Oh no. Seeing people in person.

given that, the whole team is invited, except for reosarevok.

But I am not ready to include our GSoC students into that list yet.

who wants to come to barcelona?

FWIW, I do not feel comfortable travelling with how the world acts like COVID is over when it very much is not.

Me !

o/

me ofc

!m Freso

You're doing good work, Freso!

Hola!

no one is required to come, of course.

any excuse to visit Barca

yes!

atj: you want to visia a boat?

atj: if you want to visit a boat....

mayhem: beat me to it

barca = boat. barça = the club.

I can tell you two are going to be fun already

👍

barna or BCN is the city. :)

lol, atj.

any excuse to visit BCN

just one of those annoying things that most people get wrong. :)

I want to go on a boat too plz

👍

alastairp: you had some marina VIP access somewhere? :p

mayhem: maybe GSoC mentors?

got plenty of those here

it did feel wrong when I typed it, and I don't like football

I propose the weekend of 8/9 octover.

reosarevok: yeah, that's true. we can have a party on a yacht. that's what the cool kids do, right?

yvanzo: perhaps. let me ponder that.

any objections to october 8/9?

Oct. 8/9 works for me

Works for me!

Works for me!

works for me

LGTM

me too

lucifer: ?

Fine for me (to participate virtually).

yes works for me!

ok, then lets set that date.

this year I am going to rely more on alastairp and monkey to help me out, so that it doesn't stress me out so much. which will make it better for all of us.

even though zas always lays claim to my guestroom, you should stick around a bit here in BCN.

!recall oh no.

mayhem: so no referendum anniversary this year?

:D

my guest room is open to you, stay longer, aerozol.

yvanzo: i sincerely hope not.

yvanzo: still many months to go!

:O so keen!

It’s on the 1st October anyway IIRC.

I'll probably stick around longer if I can

so, unless something changes and we hear objections about this date in the next week or two, I'm going to issue visa letters to akshaaatt and lucifer .

atj: we'll likely have one airbnb that people who stay longer.

Also, come earlier for Rockthrone festival on the 1st

Thank you! ⚡👌

Hope I can make it overseas, otherwise see you all digitally, but I'll double check everything

and as usual, metabrainz cover the costs.

atj: remember that you're only allowed in EU 90 days out of 180 now

aerozol: I trust you wont need any documents from me for you to come to spain yes? I believe NZ and spain are quite close legally, so should befine.

I mean, they let _me_ in

lol @ alastairp oy, rub it in.

my wife didn't need a visa

ok, any questions about the summit for now?

so aerozol will be fine

ooh thanks atj

less work for me. \ö/

ok, back to freso!

aerozol, akshaaatt: Design Guidelines

Hi everyone!

Thanks to aerozol, we have some design guidelines available now

We want feedback from everyone/anyone on this

It would be really good if everyone could take a look. Some of this will bite you in the ass later if you don't, I promise ;)

I believe we should be including more sections in the design guidelines. Please let us know the topics that should be included

ohhhh, I'm going to steal the images for a slide deck background!

I also put some sneaky changes in there - for instance, there isn't really a text style consensus in MB, so I made something up from the direction akshaaatt is heading in. We can edit as we go, but eyes would be good, these are big changes

how much of this will be listed as "this is the guideline, follow it", and how much as "here is some copy/paste html/css to make your site pretty"

?

Also, accessibility guidelines, minimum font size, etc...

this feels all soo... adult like.

Lol

These docs are more like guidelines, it lives alongside akshaaatts fancy component library for css etc :)

Also, I am realistic about making all of you follow guidelines loool

Anyway, I believe we need to head in the direction of following these guidelines in the future because I faced an issue understanding how to design something new

aerozol: once agreeing upon guidelines, we can have tickets to get these followed by each project.

It's really apparent with the GSoC students too I think. I think new devs need it, and it will have the side effect of maybe helping all you old hands align

"an issue" is ver diplomatic :)

*very

So once we have the structure ready, we can proceed further and let the new contributors understand how to go about designing components

This is all very helpful for the future

++

I was going to say, this will likely save huge amounts of time and effort going forward

btw, I know not many people have read these because I expect complaints :P
