Fedora Server and Vagrant
by Stephen Gallagher 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

A question was raised by @jrobeson <https://pagure.io/user/jrobeson> on the #fedora-server IRC channel yesterday: "since fedora cloud is going all atomic, is fedora server gonna offer vagrant boxes to fill that niche?" This is an interesting question. On the one hand, it certainly seems to me that we do want Fedora to have an official Vagrant box of some sort. On the other hand, with Fedora Server focused on moving to the modularity approach, I'm not sure if we want to take this on for Fedora 27. I think we probably need to coordinate with the (former?) Cloud WG on this.

Server SIG Weekly Meeting Agenda (2017-06-26)
by Stephen Gallagher 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

First up, I'm not going to be able to run the meeting this week (need to take my kid to a rescheduled doctor's appointment). I'd like for someone else to start the meeting and continue the discussion/planning for the new Modular Server for F27. I see on the devel@ list that there are still quite a few large open questions, so we should discuss these. I'll try to participate as much as possible by way of mobile IRC, but I will not be at full capacity.

Let's build the Fedora 27 Server edition using Modularity
by Adam Samalik 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Hey everyone! I have a proposal: Let's build the Fedora 27 Server edition using Modularity! [1] We are currently finishing Boltron [2] which is a modular server prototype. It includes several services and a version of DNF that supports modules. You can try some of it already and we will be putting together a set of demos that will explain how everything works.The main purpose of Boltron is to prove it can work, and to test the new UX of managing modules in multiple streams. But Boltron is really just a prototype - it won't get updates, I wouldn't recommend it using in production. I would like Fedora 27 Server to be the next step. What would need to happen in Fedora to produce a real modular server: - Having a nice developer/packager experience - I would really like to work close with guys from Factory 2.0 to develop a nice experience for packagers creating new modules. - Module updates and artificial branching - the guys from Factory 2.0 are already working on it - no worries here. - Base system (Base Runtime/Platform) with a shared userspace - a lot of work on Base Runtime has been already done. - User experience - we already have an early DNF protoype. Some UX testing and polishing can result in a very nice thing. - Content - having a good set of modules is important, but I don't think we need to modularize the whole Fedora land for this to work. Having a nice developer/packager experience will make the content grow fast. Modularity can provide a solution to some of user needs described in the Server PRD [3] like: - Value is achieved by delivering the latest capabilities fastest (DevOps Engineer/Administrator) - Needs a platform with API and ABI stability guarantees (Traditional Application Developer) Also, the requirements icnclude: - The Server Role must be packaged in such a way that it is possible to install the complete set as a unit. <- Modules can represent such a unit. - The Server Role may provide a sane, usable default. <- Modules have install profiles that might help to provide such default. What do you think? Thanks!

Does anyone have anything to put on the agenda for tomorrow? I'm going to be in meetings most of the day, so I will probably miss it, but if we have anything to discuss someone else can run it this week.

Cockpit 141 and 142
by Stef Walter 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-142.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from versions 141 and 142. Virtual machines display an interactive console ----------------------------------------------- Marek changed the Virtual Machines page to offer easy access to graphical consoles in the new "Console" tab. If the VM has a VNC server enabled, then there is now an inline noVNC console: Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zVi44KQ8KU http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/machines-inline-console.png If the VM only has a SPICE server, or the inline console is not sufficient, you can use "Switch to Desktop Viewer" and with a single button click open virt-viewer for that VM: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/machines-external-console.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5932 Document how to grant/restrict access via polkit rules ------------------------------------------------------ Users who are not administrators can normally not perform actions such as changing the hostname or start/stop systemd services. The Privileges and Permissions section in the guide and the systemd feature page now describe how to use polkit rules allow fine-grained permissions such as "that user can restart this particular service". http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/privileges.html http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/feature-systemd.html Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6900 Attempt to tear down used partitions when formatting disks ---------------------------------------------------------- Trying to format a disk on the "Disks" page which still has partitions which are in use (mounted or used as an LVM physical volume) will now attempt to unmount/remove the physical volume, instead of just failing: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/cockpit-storage-teardown-device.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6275 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 142 is available in Fedora 26: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-142-1.fc26 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/142 Take care, Stef
