Hardware support on Fedora Server DVD
by Stephen Gallagher 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

So yesterday a bug[1] showed up where someone installed Fedora Server on a laptop using the network install media over a WiFI connection and after startup did not have the proper packages to use WiFI in the installed system. This was part of a conscious decision in the past that WiFI was not commonly present on server hardware. That being said, do we want to make it available as an optional comps group and include it on the DVD media? This will likely increase the size of the DVD (though probably not by much, since most of the required packages are already required by Anaconda). I'm leaning towards yes, but the alternative would be to somehow document the lack of WiFI out-of-the-box better. [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1230223

Agenda for Server SIG Weekly Meeting (2015-06-09)
by Stephen Gallagher 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Two important items today: 1) Review of changes for the PRD 2) Decision on Change Proposals to file I'm still working on my proposed changes to the PRD; I'll provide a link with the diff at the start of the meeting. For the Change Proposals, it looks like we have resources committed for: * Cockpit GUI for Domain Controller Role * Containerized Server Roles * ABI Break Detection We don't have a commitment of delivery, but have someone working on: * FreeIPA Replica Role * Stable API Documentation We have no one who has stepped up to try to implement the File Sharing Server Role, so this is probably going to be deferred unless someone takes it on. I'd still like for us to find some volunteers to work on the plumbing work so we can deliver this for Fedora 24.

Change Proposals for Fedora 23
by Stephen Gallagher 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

In addition to the PRD refresh that we are all looking at (*ahem*), we also need to figure out what are the major efforts we're going to engage in during the Fedora 23 cycle. Alpha Freeze for Fedora 23 will be on July 28th[1], and that means we need to have at least a prototype of what we want in Fedora 23 ready by that point. I'll list some of the things that have been discussed on the mailing list and in meetings recently and we can work from there. (I'll also include my recommendations inline). ============================== == File-sharing server role == ============================== === Benefits === * Simple, easy-to-use mechanism for producing a file-sharing host using the CIFS and/or NFS protocols. * Clear gap in our offering today. === Requirements === * Development of an API to manage the configuration. * Creation of a server role definition to provide the services. * Graphical interface for manipulating it (likely Cockpit, unless another web-based tool can be adapted without sacrificing usability). === Issues/Risks === * Cockpit developers have indicated they cannot spare the resources to implement the GUI this cycle. === Recommendations === Ask for volunteers to work on the management API for Fedora 23 and postpone cockpit and rolekit work until Fedora 24. ============================================ == Cockpit GUI for Domain Controller Role == ============================================ === Benefits === * Easier setup of initial domain controller. * Demonstration of our commitment to converging capabilities into Cockpit === Requirements === * UI Design of role creation (started; thanks Andreas Nilsson!) * Resources familiar with JavaScript and D-BUS (acquired: we have a GSoC student working on this) === Issues/Risks === * Work is being done by a student as part of Google Summer of Code. Student projects always carry some risk. GSoC schedule is a good fit with the Fedora 23 schedule (recommended pencils-down date is before Fedora 23 Beta) === Recommendations === Let's definitely move ahead with this one. I'm sure our student (Turner England) will be motivated and excited to see his work featured prominently as a deliverable. I will also be personally involved as one of his two mentors (the other being Peter Volpe of the Cockpit team). ================================ == Containerized Server Roles == ================================ === Benefits === * Server roles offered by containers will be unaffected by underlying OS upgrades. * Containers written under the Nulecule specification will be possible to migrate to the Fedora Atomic Platform (and possibly also OpenShift v3) later. === Requirements === * At least one proof-of-concept role (I am proposing memcached for this, as it's very simple). * Ideally convert the Database Server role to a container format. Must handle upgrades (or backup/restore) from F22 DB Role. * Docker package must be built for at least all primary arches (and ideally the secondary arches as well). === Issues/Risks === * More difficult to determine when upgrades are necessary and to apply them. * Docker Hub only supports x86_64, so we will have to either provide a hub of our own or build docker images in rolekit from Dockerfiles. === Recommendations === I will be working on at least the PoC role (memcached) at the direction of my management at Red Hat, so we should probably treat this as a given and go ahead with filing at least one Change Proposal. I recommend for simplicity (and not adding to rel-eng's workload) that we build the images in rolekit from Dockerfiles based on the latest available RPMs in the standard Fedora package collection. I also recommend that we defer attempting to completely solve the docker image upgrade problem to Fedora 24 (there's some work going on in the Atomic space that may be more mature by that point). I think for a first attempt, it will be acceptable to just build the ability to perform upgrades on demand and instead implement the notification of upgrades at a later date. ========================== == FreeIPA Replica Role == ========================== === Benefits === * Ability to set up a resilient domain * Fewer manual steps after the initial domain creation === Requirements === * Mechanism to promote a domain client to a replica * Resources: This needs the heavy involvement of a FreeIPA developer (simo?) === Issues/Risks === * May require plumbing changes that cannot be completed in time. === Recommendations === Feedback needed from FreeIPA team before I can make any recommendations.

Requesting help with the cloud flyer for F22
by Ankur Sinha 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Hi, I'm one of the folks that help out in the marketing team. I had made a flyer for the F21 workstation product and have updated it for F22 now. I wanted to make a similar one for the server product too - it'll come in handy for the ambassadors to give out at events and so on. Unfortunately, I do not use the server product myself and am not as well informed about it as I need to be to write up a flyer. I was wondering if someone here could please provide me with the text that could go in to the flyer? I generally pick up text from the release announcement, but I'm afraid there isn't much there this time: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F22_release_announcement This is what the workstation flyer looks like, and the server one would look similar: A "notumble" version so you can read the text easily: https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/fedora-flyer-workstation/fedora -flyer-workstation-notumble.pdf This is how it'll actually look: https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/fedora-flyer-workstation/fedora -flyer-workstation-tumble.pdf I use LaTeX to make these and the sources are here: https://github.com/sanjayankur31/fedora-flyer-server -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha
