Question about NFS Ganesha [Storage SIG]
by Strahil Nikolov 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hello All, I am trying to deploy a GlusterFS 8 on a CentOS 8.2.2004 with NFS Ganesha. It seems that Ganesha provided by centos-release-nfs-ganesha28 & centos-release-nfs-ganesha30 require resource-agents >= 4.2, but HighAvailability repo provides only 4.1 . How can I obtain resource-agents suitable for NFS Ganesha. Some output: [root@glustera ~]# yum install glusterfs-ganesha.x86_64 Последната проверка за остарялост на метаданните: преди 0:00:30 на 24.10.2020 (сб) 20:50:19 EEST. Грешка: Проблем: cannot install the best candidate for the job - nothing provides resource-agents >= 4.2.0 needed by glusterfs-ganesha-8.1-1.el8.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

NFS Ganesha on EL8 needs redesign
by Strahil Nikolov 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hello All, I have been playing around with Ganesha on CentOS 8 and I have noticed some issues so far. Could you assist me in pinpointing the correct location for tracking the issues: - 'gluster nfs-ganesha enable' builds pacemaker groups that use 'ocf:heartbeat:portblock', but that resource is relying on IPTABLES, while EL8 is using NFTABLES. - nfs-ganesha.service is starting the process via "/bin/bash -c" which SELINUX hates and of course blocks. Custom selinux policies were needed. - the glusterfs-ganesha.x86_64 rpm is deploying the following boolean 'semanage boolean -m ganesha_use_fusefs --on' but it seems that something disables it. Manual setting of 'setsebool -P ganesha_use_fusefs 1' is necessary - rpcbind is blocked by selinux, I had to enable 'rpcd_use_fusefs' - nfs-ganesha.service is starting before the shared volume is mounted locally, dependency is needed like this one: [root@glustera ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/nfs-ganesha.service.d/01-debug.conf [Unit] After=run-gluster-shared_storage.mount Requires=run-gluster-shared_storage.mount I will rebuild my cluster to find out if I missed something. Any feedback is appreciated. P.S.: If anyone is interested , I can share the deployment procedure. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

GitLab AMA Session Topic: Message Bus
by Aoife Moloney 08 Nov '20

08 Nov '20

Hi Cent-onians? Ive sent this week's GitLab AMA topic to Fedora's devel-announce list, but in case there are those of you who are interested in the GitLab discussion here too, I would like to share it on your email list also. This week's topic from the GitLab AMA session on September 10th is on Message Bus. As always, here are some links to the resources I have been pulling content from as well: * Questions and Answers hackmd link https://hackmd.io/RW8HahOeR7OJPON1dwuo3w * Chat log from session https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2020-09-10/ama_session_w… * AMA Blog post https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/gitlab-ama-follow-up/#more-9346 * Here is this email in hackmd if you wish to view it there: https://hackmd.io/tfOqCXNEQtqsGNLAEfZ2zg?view ## Topic: Message Bus - Question: Fedora uses a message bus to integrate different parts of its infrastructure. How should we onboard GitLab into this message bus? - Answer: Currently we would need to have a service that proxies GitLab’s events to fedora-messaging something similar to github2fedmsg. There were some concerns raised about the order of events sent by GitLab’s webhooks, these will need to be looked after during a Proof of Concept stage. - Question: How would git push over http work with GitLab? (assuming gitlab does not have Fedora's password since they are stored in FAS) - Answer: GitLab has a good number of authentication options and integrations where the "best" solution usually depends on a team's specific needs and use case. As such, the best way to know and meet Fedora's needs and use cases is to have a conversation and discuss the options with GitLab. How does git push over HTTP work with FAS right now, and what git push (over HTTP) auth requirements/flow would you like to have for your projects in GitLab? These are the only two questions and answers I could gather relating to message bus from the AMA question sheet, however I know there was a lot of discussion regarding this topic during the AMA session itself, so if you would like to resume/kick off that conversation again, please feel free to use this email to discuss. A personal note and for full transparency: the weeks seem to be passing in the blink of an eye lately, I assume it's because I'm busy(?) but it might be just the weird 2020 vibe the world is on nowadays. I really don't know. Whatever the reason, there has been no further discussion with GitLab since early October-ish, but we will be returning to the conversation of how this migration could be technically possible soon, so sincerely thank you all again for engaging with us/me here as I found reading the discussion that came from the Fedora devel list on permission and access much easier to follow and have been taking notes on expectations to use that feedback in conversations with GitLab when we pick the discussion back up. I hope you all had a good weekend and will talk to you all next week when the topic of Namespace & Issue Tracking is sent! Kindest regards, Aoife -- Aoife Moloney Product Owner Community Platform Engineering Team Red Hat EMEA Communications House Cork Road Waterford

CentOS 7 (2009) in progress
by Johnny Hughes 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

OK all .. RHEL 7.9 source code updated today. I am currently working to start the build of CentOS 7 based on that [CentOS 7 (2009) ]. Currently, we need to bootstrap and then build llvm-toolset-9.0 and rust-toolset-1.41 as some of the released packages need those toolsets. I also need to check devtoolset-7 and devtoolset-8 and see if we need any updates to pacakges there before we start the main build .. and I need to see of any of the packages need devtoolset-9. Once we have all those prerequisites completed, I can start the main builds. The goal, as usual, is to get the CR repo populated in 7 to 10 days: https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR And the final release completed in less than 40 days. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

SIG content Items to remove for CetnOS 7
by Johnny Hughes 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

For all the SIGs .. if you have content that you want removed from the 7.9.2009 tree (the next point release), that are currently in the 7.8.2003 tree, please put the rpm names and/or directories (as applicable) in an email to this list. This includes centos-release-* files you would like removed from extras/. Point rleease is an ideal time to remove items no longer required .. they stay in the 7.8.2003 trees that are moved to vault.centos.org but be removed from the 7.9.2009 trees. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

FOSDEM CentOS Dojo, February 4th and 5th, 2021
by Rich Bowen 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

Although FOSDEM looks different this year, we plan to continue our tradition of holding a CentOS Dojo on the day (or days) before FOSDEM begins. The event will take place online. Doing this online gives us access to a wider pool of speakers and attendees - this means YOU! The call for presentations is now open - https://forms.gle/trwNjcvA4SX6CPkA7 . The actual schedule will depend on submissions that we receive, but we are tentatively hoping to run the event on February 4th and 5th, ahead of FOSDEM starting on the 6th. We are looking for presentations about anything that you are doing in, or on, CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream. This includes, but is certainly not limited to, SIG activity, research using CentOS, useful tools/applications that can be deployed on CentOS, or topics around community engagement. More details about the event will be available on the event wiki page - https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/FOSDEM2021 - as soon as we know more.
