Hey folks!
I have a few questions about the final deployment of the FMN replacement:
- There's been a request to handle a user being disabled in IPA, which
should trigger their rules being disabled (FMN#826). We can do that but we have questions about re-enablement: should the rules be auto-enabled when the user is re-enabled? What about rules that the user may have disabled previously? Should we just leave things disabled?
I think this is a pretty rare case. I guess I would expect to just leave them all disabled and let the user go enable them again once they can log back in?
- How do you see the transition to the new system? We were thinking:
- move the current FMN to a different URL, such as
notifications-old.fp.o. It will still be processing messages and sending notifications
- run the new system in notifications.fp.o (in place of the old)
- add a small banner to the new system to point people to the old in
case they want to change their rules there Is it too quick? Should we deploy the new one to a notifications-new URL first? That's one more step to get to the final setup, so more work for you. You get to decide :-) → Michal & Kevin are fine with this plan.
yep. I think smooges suggestion downthread to announce the plan is good.
and schedule a time to roll out the new and move the old so people know to expect it.
- IRC account: we can't connect to libera.chat with the same account
twice, we'll need a second account. I can create it, but do you prefer that we:
- run the old FMN on the new account (fedora-notifs-old) and the
new FMN on the usual account 2. run the old FMN on the usual account and the new FMN on the new account (fedora-notifs-new) and then switch back to the usual one when we retire the old FMN 3. run the old FMN on the usual account and the new FMN on a new account (fedora-fmn) and just drop the old account when we retire the old FMN (I guess that's connected to the URL transition issue) → Kevin prefers option 3.
yep. since people will be setting things up new it makes sense to me to have a new user messaging you. Also less swapping around, its just setup and done.
- Let's do an "ask us anything" session for infra people. We can do
that on IRC or you can ask all your questions in this email thread.
+1
- When should we do the switch?
→ Kevin suggests next week, with an email to devel-announce.
What do you think? I've had a few answers from Michal & Kevin already and added them inline.
Kevin also notes that we may need a RHIT ticket to allow IRC out from OpenShift. I'll test it as soon as I've created the new IRC account. He also suggests a sunset date for the old FMN after the F39 release.
yep!
thanks!
