Proposal: Changes to Fedora Server default partitioning scheme
by Stephen Gallagher 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

The following proposal comes out of the discussion at this weeks Server SIG meeting[1] Fedora Server will have: * / (root) will be a minimum of 2 GiB and a maximum of 15 GiB * SWAP will continue to be calculated automatically based on available RAM on the system * All unused space will be assigned to a volume group and available to be assigned to new partitions or extend existing partitions. * Anaconda will continue to handle the appropriate EFI and /boot settings We also discussed during the meeting whether we should have a separate /var partition by default, but the general sense was that we might be better served by developing a mechanism to allow partitions to be split from existing mount points, which would be more flexible going forward. As we did not have quorum in the meeting by the point we got to this proposal, I'm taking it to the list for discussion and votes. For the record, the current behavior of the partitioning scheme is for / to be given up to 50 GiB of space and then any remaining space after that is assigned to a separate /home partition.

Cockpit 125
by Stef Walter 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-125.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 123, 124 and 125. Cockpit is now properly translatable ------------------------------------ Cockpit is now properly translatable. It was a big task to extract all the translatable strings and make translations work consistently between the browser and installed tools like the bridge. We now start also run the login user session with a proper locale and LANG environment variables. You can help translate cockpit in Zanata, or if you find text in the front end that isn't translatable, then please do report it. https://fedora.zanata.org/iteration/view/cockpit/master Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5362 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5418 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5418 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5420 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/1728 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5442 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5444 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5443 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5461 Display OSTree signatures ------------------------- Peter implement displaying OSTree tree signatures. You can tell where a certain update tree came from and who signed it. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/ostree-signatures.png Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5433 New expandable views for storage partitions ------------------------------------------- Marius implemented expandable views in the *Storage* pages. These let you dive into the details of a particular partition without having to navigate away from the page describing where it lives. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/storage-listing.png Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5097 Other storage fixes ------------------- Marius did work to fix many other storage related bugs. In particular Cockpit now deals properly with passphrases stored for LUKS encrypted devices, and also no longer offers to format read-only block devices. Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5343 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5097 Full testing on RHEL 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 8 Jessie ---------------------------------------------------------- The Cockpit project started testing on Cockpit on RHEL 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 8 Jessie along the operating systems we tested earlier. These will be part of our usual continuous integration, where we boot thousands or tens of thousands of instances per day to test changes and contributions. Marius fixed many bugs we found, and filed operating system bugs in the issue trackers for those operating systems. You can see the which operating systems we test Cockpit on: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html There's no Debian Jessie repository yet, but hopefully we can have that ready as time permits. Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5445 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5285 System shutdown can be scheduled by date ---------------------------------------- Fridolin did work a long time ago, so that users could select a specific date and time to schedule a shutdown or reboot of the system. Stef finished that work added tests and it's now in Cockpit. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/shutdown-date.png Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/2419 Properly terminate user sessions on the Accounts page ----------------------------------------------------- The Accounts page now properly terminates user sessions when the Terminate Session button is clicked. We use the correct systemd loginctl commands. Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5359 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 125 is available in Fedora 25: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-125-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/125 Take care, Stef

The Fedora Prioritized bugs and issues process
by Jan Kurik 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Hi everybody, as discussed in [1] email thread, we are starting the "Fedora Prioritized bugs and issues process" [2]. The main goal is to identify and make more visible bugs and issues which have critical impact on a Fedora Edition or on a council-approved Fedora Objective. We will start with our first evaluation meeting on Wednesday November the 30th, 2016 at 15:00 UTC on #fedora-meeting IRC channel [3]. I will be happy if people interested in participation on the evaluation will let me know, so we can setup the initial Evaluation team.

systemd centos7 backport from rawhide (repo availabile)
by Phil Dibowitz 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hey folks, [This is slightly off-topic, but it's related to direction of using redhat/fedora systems as servers, so I figured there may be interest here.] At systemd.conf this year we met a bunch of people who were interested in our (Facebook) work to backport rawhide's systemd to CentOS 7 (see our talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhYd0S3qiMY) we've released the repo of specs and diffs that make this possible here: https://github.com/facebookincubator/rpm-backports We hope to add more here over time (we're working on releasing initscripts backports now). We keep this repo in sync with our internal tools, so as the targeted software moves forward in rawhide, you should see the repo keep up. Feel free to email me on or off list as appropriate if you have questions/comments. -- Phil Dibowitz phil(a)ipom.com Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss

NFS Role Definition
by Jon Stanley 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

I'd like some feedback on a (very early) draft that I have of the document for the NFS role definition (if you'd like edit access, just shoot me an email): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLyKsECdHdlKltmHGgf_-iOKj-hj4Qjbh5Zgm7a… How I thought of this was to go from user stories, to technical requirements, and finally to activities to meet those requirements. The actor in all of the user stories in an inexperienced admin - are there other actors that we need to be concerned with? Totally open to feedback here - is this even on the right path?
