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
    • Kerberos and OpenAFS servers are in the middle of getting upgraded. Most are running Jammy now. Then after everything is running Jammy the next round of updates will get us on Noble.
    • Next on the list are graphite and backup servers
    • Remember to use launch-node's --config-drive flag when booting new Noble nodes in Rax Classic
  • 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.
    • 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.
  • Loss of upstream Debian bullseye-backports mirror (fungi 20250805)
    • https://review.opendev.org/956497 temporarily ignore undefinedtarget
    • Zuul-jobs will no longer enable debian backports by default on September 9
      • https://lists.zuul-ci.org/archives/list/zuul-announce@lists.zuul-ci.org/thread/NZ54HYFHIYW3OILYYIQ72L7WAVNSODMR/
    • Once zuul-jobs is updated we can delete the content from our mirrors and drop the workaround
  • Etherpad 2.5.0 Upgrade (clarkb 20250805)
    • https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/blob/v2.5.0/CHANGELOG.md
    • This release is reported to have fixed our css problems.
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/956593/
    • 104.130.127.119 is a held node for testing. You need to edit /etc/hosts to point etherpad.opendev.org at that IP.
  • Moving OpenDev's python-base/python-builder/uwsgi-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
    • Turns out to use speculative images via the buildset registry we always need to build with a custom buildx builder
      • https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul-jobs/+/958783
    • Once that lands we can switch the default builder back to docker in system-config then use a consistent builder for all container image builds
  • Adding Debian Trixie Base Python Container Images (clarkb 20250826)
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/958480
    • Trixie is here. Let's bootstrap some container images so that we can migrate over to the new release in our containers.
  • Dropping Ubuntu Bionic Test Nodes (clarkb 20250826)
    • Zuul will be dropping Ansible 9 support soon. When that happens Ubuntu Bionic test nodes will stop working in Zuul as Python on them is too old for Ansible 11
    • Decided that since Bionic is well past its EOL date we don't need to make a big announcement. At least not yet. But cleanup is a good thing.
    • https://review.opendev.org/q/hashtag:%22drop-bionic%22+status:open
    • This cleanup will also enable us to drop additional content from the afs ubuntu mirrors which will make afs server upgrades slightly easier.
  • Temporary Shutdown of raxflex sjc3 for provider maintenance window (clarkb 20250902)
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/zuul-providers/+/959200
    • The cinder volume backing our mirror cache is going to be unavailable tomorrow for maintenance. Clarkb will disable the region in Zuul and shutdown the mirror today in preparation.

• 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
