README.md for ansible role nfs_service is populated
by John W. Himpel 29 Aug '24

29 Aug '24

I am a newbie at markdown syntax and this is my first attempt to publish anything using markdown in pagure. I have tried to describe what is necessary to run the nfs_service ansible role. I did my best to describe what needs to be done from the standpoint of someone new to both nfs and ansible. The writeup is located in the "stg" branch of pagure.io. The file is https://www.pagure.io/fedora-server/blob/stg/f/fedora-ansible/roles/nfs_ser… Feedback is most certainly welcome. Running each of the other three nfs ansible roles found in the "stg" branch follows the same general template.

2024-08-26 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 41 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 26 Aug '24

# F10 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2024-08-26 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.… Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 41 blocker review meeting! We have 1 proposed blocker and 1 proposed freeze exception for Beta, and 2 proposed blockers for Final. Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+41+Blocker… The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing. If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F40 can be found on the wiki [0].

Ansible roles for NFS Server & Client (Request for reviews)
by John W. Himpel 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

All, I think I have finally figured out how to interact with git and pagure. In the pagure instance of fedora-server, I have added four (4) ansible roles. 1) nfs_service - Install and configure NFSv4 service to start serving directories. It takes care of firewalld settings, idmapd settings and creates a directory from which other directories will be served. 2) nfs_service_export - Generates /etc/exports entries and mounts the shared directories. 3) nfs_client - Install and configure directory used to mount shared directories and configure idmapd.conf. 4) nfs_client_mount - Create entries in /etc/fstab for mounting rmotely shared directories For now, please ignore the README.md files. The ones currently committed are just boilerplate stuff. I hope to work on real README.md files in the next couple of days. Since we have not published guidelines for how our ansible roles should be structured, this is my attempt to start that discussion.. Do NOT take these roles as FINAL. At this point in time, they are just examples that can be used for discussion. Emmanuel Seyman has already commented on these roles in an off-list email to me. If he gives me permission to forward his comments to the list, I will gladly do so. Please keep all of the discussion on the list, so that we have a history and rational for what we finally decide is proper form and content. Thanks to Kevin Fenzi for assistance in helping me with suggestions on how to use git interacting with pagure.

Flock 2024 recap
by Emmanuel Seyman 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

I finally got to Flock on Wednesday afternoon, shortly after 2pm. Since the afternoon sessions had already started, I sat down on one of them ("Git forge replacement" by Tomáš Hrčka). Once the afternoon sessions were done, I was able to say hi to a few other attendees before going to my room and getting settled in. On Thursday, I met Maxwell G and talked about the packaging guidelines for Ansible collections[1] he had written. Because I didn't know these guidelines existed, I need to check that my source-rpm of the robertdebock roles conform to them before submitting it to Fedora for review. I then had the opportunity to talk to Neal Gompa about the linux-system-roles package, which contains a number of roles that are important to the Fedora Server SIG. Neal explained that he only owned the package because it had been orphaned and that he did not want to see it be retired. He told me he would much prefer a member of the SIG be one of the packagers so we ended up giving me the commit bit on the packager. At one point in the day, I noticed that a young man was wearing a badge on which his last name matched mowest's. I introduced myself and he told me that mowest would be back in a few minutes. I sat down near him and, once the current talk was finished, got to meet mowest. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Peter Boy was unable to come to Flock so mowest and I were the only Server WG members present. We decided that it would be a shame for there not to be a talk related to Fedora Server so mowest suggested that we do a BoF talk to gather Fedora Server users and listen to their use cases. We found Justin Flory and were able to get a room and a place in the schedule[2] later that day. Mowest and I then spent some time getting to know each other better since we never have a chance to talk informally during the Fedora Server weekly meetings. As we talked, we realized that we had a lot more in common than we suspected. Flying to a different continent to go to Flock may be a chore but it is worth it to meet people we engage with online frequently. For me, the act of meeting mowest made going to the US worth by itself. The talk/discussion[3] went pretty much as expected. Because it had being thrown together at the last minute, we only had a few attendees but we were still able to discuss the use case of Fedora as a NAS server, what filesystem we should use and how each one of us handles upgrading from one version of Fedora to the next. Since ths was one of the last talks of the day, we then went to the "Q&A with Mike McGrarth" talk and were somewhat surprised to get a shoutout from Mike[4], who told the audience that he tought we should have had more of an audience. I then had a chance to talk with Adam W. and we sat down together for a few minutes to discuss how we could have more AutoQA testing for Fedora Server. I explained that the Server WG is discussing whether to promote Ansible roles/playbooks or setting things up manually. Adam detailed that we had more or less the same issue with regards to AutoQA testing. He would rather we test running Ansible playbooks or doing things by hand but not both.

Fedora on Raspberry Pi5 (sorta)
by John W. Himpel 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

I purchased an 8Gb model of the Raspberry Pi. I went to https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/RaspberryPi and downloaded the Server image for f40. Please note some non-Fedora software was included in the download. The list of copr's used in addition to the native Fedora f40 is show directly above the download tables. I used the Server image. I used balenaEtcher to flash the image onto an microSD card. Inserted the card into the Rpi5 and applied power. The boot is of course non-gui based. There are a couple of user interactions with anaconda, so you will need a keyboard and a monitor. All-in-all, it went extremely well. Initial testing shows the network functioning properly and storage is accessible. However, instead of using LVM ans xfs, this install created a btrfs volume with sub- volumes. Hope to find time in the next few days to explore this even more.
