Hey everyone, You all know Paul from our meetings over the past few months. He has also already contributed to our documentation. Therefore, I asked him if he would like to formally join our working group, and he agreed. In accordance with our rules (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/server-working-group/docs/server-gover…) I therefore propose that we accept Paul Maconi (FAS aggraxis; Matrix @aggraxis:fedora.im) as a member. You can find more information about him on his Fedora page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Aggraxis. Voting is done by +1 (approval), 0 (abstention), or -1 (rejection) in a comment on this issue at https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/162. I would like to ask all our members to vote soon.

COPR for Ansible roles
by Emmanuel Seyman 28 May '25

28 May '25

Hello, all. It's taken some time but I finally got around to creating rpms for a few of Robert de Bock's Ansible roles. I've submitted one for review so that it can be accepted in the distribution but, not wanting to wait for that, I've also created a copr for F42 and rawhide so that people can enable it and install those packages right away. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/eseyman/ansible/ The roles packaged so far are: * backup * dnsmasq * httpd * mysql * nfsserver * postgres * restore * tftpd * users Please feel free to use them and provide feedback. I've already spotted issues with backup and I need to patch the postgres role (which may not end up getting in the distribution). Emmanuel

Where to place directory/file for ansible roles?
by John W. Himpel 07 May '25

07 May '25

All, The Fedora Server WG is planning to release a series of rpms to allow sysadmins to use pre-defined (by the Fedora Server WG) ansible roles to install and configure linux services such as nfs, mail. dns, dhcp, etc that will provide a secure and known-to-work set of (some or all) said services. I am attempting to create a "config" rpm that will create the necessary directories and default configuration files to be used by subsequent rpm packages providing these roles. This is much in the same manner as the filesystem rpm provides directories to the base o/s. I envision this rpm to create: a) A fedora_server userid and group id that has write access to the directories/files created below. b) An ansible inventory directory c) A directory to create executable and yml files necessary to invoke said roles d) A directory to contain the subdirectories to define the provided ansible roles (tasks, defaults, files, templates, vars, etc) The userids for the sysadmins using these new roles, would be added to the fedora-server group via linux commands in order to access/modify the provided roles. I was thinking the inventory directory should go in /etc/ansible. Where the sysadmin would be a member of the newly generated "fedora_server" group with write permissions. I am in a quandary about where to place the executes and yml files necessary to invode the new roles. Should I create a directory under /usr/local somwhere? Should I create a directory under /var/local somewhere? Or do I create a directory under /opt somewhere? Or is there somewhere else that makes more sense? Please keep in mind these directories will be provided by a Fedora Server WG rpm that should be included in a normal Fedora Server distribution media. I have the same questions regarding the "roles" directory. Any thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated. John
