Weekly Project Infrastructure team meeting

The OpenDev Team holds public weekly meetings in #opendev-meeting on OFTC, Tuesdays at 1900 UTC. Everyone interested in infrastructure and process surrounding automated testing and deployment is encouraged to attend.

Please feel free to add agenda items (and your IRC nick in parenthesis).

Agenda for next meeting

• Announcements

• Actions from last meeting

• Specs Review

• Topics
  • Gerrit 3.11 Upgrade Planning (clarkb 20250401)
    • https://www.gerritcodereview.com/3.11.html
    • Please check this for any concerns with the way we use Gerrit.
    • Held nodes for these two builds:
      • https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/f1ca0d1f2e054829a4506ececb58bed3
      • https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/588723b923e94901af3065143d9df818
    • There is discussion about replication and reindexing bugs in 3.11.4/3.12.1 that don't affect us yet due to being on 3.10. We should try to test these problems to see if they affect us.
      • Clarkb tested this with held notes on admittedly trivial test data sets but was unable to reproduce the problems
    • Shutting down Gerrit can race the indexing of new changes. If this happens we can have new changes created that are not indexed leading to multiple changes with the same changeid later. To mitigate this we can/should reindex changes on Gerrit startup.
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/gerrit-upgrade-3.11 Planning Document for the eventual Upgrade
    • Will need to select a date once we know more about the upgrade itself.
  • Upgrading Old Servers (clarkb 20230627)
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-bionic-server-upgrades
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-focal-server-upgrades
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-server-replacement-sprint
      • wiki.openstack.org: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-mediawiki-upgrade
      • tonyb looking at cacti after wiki
    • Fungi announced refstack removal and cleanup: https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/WNI4PE2TZ3G52C3U5FT2YNVRUAJB3CMO/
    • Need to cleanup the eavesdrop01 server and its DNS records.
    • Remember to use launch-node's --config-drive flag when booting new Noble nodes in Rax Classic
  • Working through our TODO list (clarkb 20250107)
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-running-todo-list
  • Moving OpenDev Synchronous Communication to Matrix (clarkb 20250520)
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/infra-specs/+/954826 Spec outlining the motivation and plan for Matrix trialing
  • Pre PTG Planning (clarkb 20250624)
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-preptg-october-2025 Planning happening in this document
    • Clarkb has added a number of topic Ideas. Please add more.
    • Proposed times: Tuesday October 7 1800-2000 UTC, Wednesday October 8 1500-1700 UTC, Thursday October 9 1500-1700
    • The Tuesday time block would effectively replace our weekly IRC meeting.
  • Service Coordinator Election Planning (clarkb 20250729)
    • Nomination Period open from August 5, 2025 to August 19, 2025. If necessary we will hold an election from August 20, 2025 to August 27, 2025. All date ranges and times will be in UTC.
    • https://lists.opendev.org/archives/list/service-discuss@lists.opendev.org/thread/YXRD23ZWJGDPZ3WESBNZNEYO7NBCXFT4/
    • Clarkb is more than happy to support someone new in the role. Please reach out if there are questions or interest.
    • One week left in the nomination period.
  • Loss of upstream Debian bullseye-backports mirror (fungi 20250805)
    • https://review.opendev.org/956497 temporarily ignore undefinedtarget
    • the workaround isn't too bad, but we need to make a longer-term decision about our mirror contents and the configure-mirrors role
  • Etherpad 2.4.2 Upgrade (clarkb 20250805)
    • https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/blob/v2.4.2/CHANGELOG.md
    • Theming updates have broken the no-skin and custom skin themes. We use no-skin. https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/issues/7065
    • We could consider switching to Colibris skin which does work. This skin presents etherpads in a google docs piece of paper manner.
  • Moving OpenDev's python-base/python-builder/uwsig-base Images to Quay (clarkb 20250812)
    • All of our containers that are build from these base images are now running on Noble nodes with podman
    • It should be safe for us to move the base images then rebuild everything using quay as the source.
    • Concerns
      • Projects outside of OpenDev use these base images (zuul and vexxhost for example). Do we need to coordinate with them or just do our best to get everything updated in a short span of time?
      • Image builds that are built using docker as the underlying build system may still fail to speculatively fetch images from Quay. I believe that using buildx/buildkit which is now docker's default fixes this; however, I am unsure if we need to make updates to our build jobs to make that work.
  • Bootstrapping rax-flex iad3 (clarkb 20250819)
    • We should be able to use rax-flex iad3 now for additional capacity and redundancy
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/957810 Initial bootstrapping steps
    • Will need to boot a mirror and configure the region in opendev/zuul-providers.

• Open discussion

Upcoming Project Renames

(any additions should mention original->new full names and link to the corresponding project-config rename change in Gerrit) Changes should have their topic set to project-rename.

• Rename example/foo -> example/bar: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/123456
