Agenda for Server WG Meeting (2014-07-08)
by Stephen Gallagher
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
There is only one agenda item for this week:
* Release Media Status and Tasks
As Adam Williamson noted in another thread, we need to have TC1 trees
available this week. We need to divvy up the work and get this
together immediately (if not sooner).
I'm inviting Dennis Gilmore and Jon Disnard to join us for this
meeting to help us sort out exactly what we need to get to them.
Dennis, Jon: The meeting is at 1600 UTC tomorrow in #fedora-meeting-1.

Alpha TC1: this week, folks
by Adam Williamson
So, just to inject a valuable note of panic into proceedings, I thought
I'd note in case anyone's unaware that Alpha TC1 is scheduled for
Tuesday.
My informal evaluation is that, to all intents and purposes, we do not
have a product yet. Right?
There's no server kickstart. We haven't written any of the code backing
server roles, or any of the roles. There's no fedora-release-server
package (I don't think). There's no variant build of anaconda with our
planned changes in place.
I have been rather behind on devel@ discussion and following FESCo and
stuff lately, so I may be missing some existing consideration of this
sort of thing, but it felt worth pointing out, at least. Anyone have any
thoughts on this situation? (I just checked briefly, and it looks like
as of last FESCo meeting, we're on schedule).

Multiple 'role' instances?
by Stef Walter
So this may be way out there ... I'm looking ahead to how Cockpit would
implement roles, and combine them with other concepts such as
containerized server applications...
Is there (will there be) any concept in rolekit of mulitple instances of
a role on a server?
I know that this certainly doesn't apply to some services like IPA
Domain Controller.
But for others, such as databases it may be a limitation later on.
For example MongoDB has one database. If you want more than one, you run
more than one MongoDB on more than one port. These run as seperate
systemd instances etc...
Another example is PostgresQL. Although it supports multiple databases,
it only supports one authentication scheme. If you want distinct
authentication domains in postgres, you run it more than once.
A general example is containerized services. If at some point we do
implement a role using containers, having multiple containers filling
the same "role" (eg: EAP node) is common.
Anyway, I'm not saying that this is a *must have* aspect of rolekit. I
wanted to raise the issue. It's certainly something we have to consider
at the Cockpit level.
Cheers,
Stef

Remote access url and fingerprint in /etc/issue
by Stef Walter
I'd like to work [0] on adding a remote access URL to /etc/issue for
Fedora Server 21 and Atomic. This puts useful information on the VT,
especially for virtual machines, and also servers with monitors attached.
It would look something like:
Fedora Release 21 (xxx)
Kernel 3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64 on an x86_64 (tty1)
Remote access:
https://192.168.11.10:4444
SHA1: 80:81:46:45:0E:FF:75:AD:C5:40:7A:C2:38:74:57:46:BF:B1:DD:1C
localhost login:
Some notes or questions.
* Including the certificate fingerprint makes it possible for more
users to securely connect even when using self-signed certificate.
* Should we include the appropriate ssh command?
* Implementing the http URL is easy given agetty's support for \4 [1]
* When Cockpit generates a self-signed certificate, it could either
put the fingerprint directly in /etc/issue or alternatively we
could work on a solution revolving around \S{VARIABLE} and
/etc/os-release
There's also the case of headless servers. I would like some way to have
users be able to see the above info too. Perhaps via /etc/motd, or
perhaps some other way.
Cheers,
Stef

Server WG Meeting (cancel?) (2014-07-01)
by Stephen Gallagher
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Sorry folks, I forgot to send out an agenda this week. Unless there
are any urgent topics that need the WG, I think we should be okay with
continuing on the lists.
A couple things to note and follow:
1) Thomas Woerner and I are hacking on rolekit and will be doing so in
#fedora-server for the foreseeable futute.
2) I started a thread on the fedora-devel list about how to handle
fedora-release-* and per-package configuration. Please review and
chime in, this is important to all Products.
