This weekend I've created a settings page for Harmony to finally allow a bit of per user customization.
2025-04-07 09745, 2025

Oops, forgot, also helped mayhem with setting up LB mapping test cases

Sorry.

For starters I've made the behavior of the seeder configurable, whether it opens in a new tab and whether it should redirect to the Release Actions page after the import.
2025-04-07 09728, 2025
kellnerd[m]
I've also integrated the already existing provider checkboxes and region input there. Now I wonder whether I should make these inputs not remember changes anymore on the home page?

I've been writing up my GSoC stuff these past few days. I think most of the proposal is pretty solid
2025-04-07 09755, 2025
Jade[m]
I'm still not sure if we're going to use Rust or Python
2025-04-07 09702, 2025
Jade[m]
Probably a topic for after we've done the updates?
2025-04-07 09727, 2025

do you have a strong reason to use Rust, Jade ? If you dont, use Python.

Well, MBS should probably move to either node or rust in the future, if we were to pick rust then that would make sense, but that's of course unlikely to be clear today :)

last week i looked at jira docs some more to gear up for a hopeful migration this week, which will require downtime - added to the agenda for a bit of discussion after reviews
2025-04-07 09753, 2025
julian45[m]
in doing so i also converted some one-run-only-per-migration scripts yvanzo had made to idempotent ansible; although said scripts haven't been maintained in a while, there was still some use to them. spending some time this week firming up playbooks for the migration and then doing it (hopefully)

hi! i am planning to upgrade chatbrainz this week, most probably on wednesday unless a blocker comes up so expecting a downtime of 30-60 mins.
2025-04-07 09739, 2025
lucifer[m]
we don't have a test environment to test the deployment before directly updating chatbrainz in prod so need to be a bit careful.
2025-04-07 09758, 2025
reosarevok[m]
How would that work? Matrix down, IRC and Discord temporarily unbridged?
2025-04-07 09704, 2025
lucifer[m]
yes.
2025-04-07 09713, 2025
lucifer[m]
with only IRC being logged.
2025-04-07 09725, 2025

for the duration of the downtime.

yes possible.

Depends which one is set up?
2025-04-07 09732, 2025

i am not familiar enough with the implementation details of the discord bridge to confirm though.
2025-04-07 09734, 2025

julian45: Jira!
2025-04-07 09748, 2025
julian45[m]
so, gojira? ;) 🦎 (no dino emoji, alas)
2025-04-07 09758, 2025
julian45[m]
anyway
2025-04-07 09703, 2025
julian45[m]
because the current jira server is on a quite old version of ubuntu and its java version (8) is too old for the version of jira we want to go to (17), my thinking was that it would be best to just migrate db/data to a fresh install of jira on a fresh ubuntu server
2025-04-07 09754, 2025
julian45[m]
while this upgrade _maybe_ could be made to happen in place, i think it's less trouble than doing ubuntu 18 -> 20 -> 22 -> 24 and jdk 8 -> 17 in place
2025-04-07 09710, 2025
julian45[m]
(maybe yvanzo could chime in on that?)
2025-04-07 09740, 2025
yvanzo[m]
I agree, the current server is not maintained manually, we are seeking for Ansible-managed instance.
2025-04-07 09754, 2025
yvanzo[m]
s/not/even/
2025-04-07 09755, 2025
julian45[m]
either way, this will require downtime since, even if transferring data and db from one server to another, activity on data/db must stop before the transfer begins
2025-04-07 09755, 2025
reosarevok[m]
Seems safer to have a new install, make sure it works and if not keep using the old one for now rather than doing a long update process anyway
2025-04-07 09750, 2025
julian45[m]
i'm thinking maybe a couple of hours of "downtime window", even if not all of that ends up being used, is a good idea to take
2025-04-07 09748, 2025
yvanzo[m]
julian45: Shall we set up the new instance without data at first, and only once it is working schedule for migration?
2025-04-07 09752, 2025
julian45[m]
yvanzo: do you think you can spare a couple of hours on thursday or saturday to be in the "backseat" for the migration? i'm hoping i can mostly handle this myself, but you may wish to get involved yourself + there may be jira sysadmin-ing questions i have that you might be able to answer with your experience
2025-04-07 09707, 2025
julian45[m]
ope, you sent that as i was typing my last msg
2025-04-07 09715, 2025

Sorry

yvanzo[m]
julian45: Thursday woud work for me.
2025-04-07 09752, 2025
julian45[m]
overall a good idea - though if we want to make it more "staging"-ey, we could also import prod data into a separate db from the one that would be used in prod
2025-04-07 09711, 2025
julian45[m]
and that might be a good case for downtime to capture that data, though idk
2025-04-07 09743, 2025
yvanzo[m]
So for everyone, let’s say that Thursday might be without tickets for some hours.
2025-04-07 09749, 2025
julian45[m]
i think i can at least prep the new instance with minimal/no degradation of prod before thu, and then if prospects look good we can set up some time on thursday. sound reasonable?
2025-04-07 09711, 2025
julian45[m]
(ope, another case of you sending while i was typing - again, no worries, esp since we align)
