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

Agenda for next meeting

• Announcements
  • No meetings December 12, 26, and January 2.

• Actions from last meeting

• Specs Review

• Topics
  • Upgrading Bionic servers to Focal/Jammy (clarkb 20230627)
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-bionic-server-upgrades
    • Tonyb is adding new mirror servers.
    • New mirror servers should be ready. Is it time to update CNAMEs and plan for old server cleanup?
  • DIB bionic support (ianw 20231206)
    • py36 tox unittesting broken -- proposal to drop https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/diskimage-builder/+/901093
    • unit testing has been kept this long to ensure in-chroot tools are python3.6 clean -- bionic only platform still supported
    • one suggestion is to pause bionic builds - see comment in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/901692 and comments in PS1
      • clarkb points out this is painful if cloud providers change, and dib _probably_ won't break the build anyway
    • second option is to drop tox 36 testing, but leave bionic test in dib-functests. Probably enough coverage for basic support. Should probably do a release first.
  • Python container updates (tonyb 20230718)
    • https://review.opendev.org/q/(topic:bookworm-python3.11+OR+hashtag:bookworm)+status:open Next round of image rebuilds onto bookworm.
    • zuul-operator is the last hold out on python3.10. Working through failures in CI there.
      • https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul-operator/+/881245 is the change we need to get landed.
  • Gitea 1.21.1 Upgrade (clarkb 20230926)
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/902490 Configure Gerrit to use new SSH key
    • After Gerrit is restarted and using the new key we can remove the old key from Gitea. At that point we should be ready to plan the Gitea upgrade.
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/897679 Upgrade to Gitea 1.21.0
  • Updating Zuul's database server (clarkb 20231121)
    • Currently this is an older mysql 5.7 trove instance
    • We can move it to a self hosted instance (maybe on a dedicated host?) running out of docker like many of our other services and get it more up to date.
    • Are there other services we should consider this for as well?
    • Research/Planning questions: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-zuul-mysql-upgrade
  • Annual Report Season (clarkb 20231128)
    • OpenDev's 2023 Annual Report Draft will live here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2023-opendev-annual-report
  • EMS discontinuing legacy/consumer hosting plans (fungi 20231219)
    • We have until 2024-02-07 to upgrade to a business hosting plan (prepaying a year at 10x the current price) or move elsewhere.
  • Followup on 20231216 incident (frickler 20231217)
    • Do we want to pin external images like haproxy and only bump them after testing? (Not sure that would've helped for the current issue though)
    • Use docker prune less aggressively for easier rollback?
      • We do so for some services, like https://opendev.org/opendev/system-config/src/branch/master/playbooks/roles/gitea/tasks/main.yaml#L71-L76, might want to duplicate for all containers? Bump the hold time to 7d?
    • Add timestamps to zuul_reboot.log?
      • https://opendev.org/opendev/system-config/src/branch/master/playbooks/service-bridge.yaml#L41-L55
      • Also this is running on Saturdays (weekday: 6), do we want to fix the comment or the dow?
    • Do we want to document or implement a procedure for rolling back zuul upgrades? Or do we assume that issues can always be fixed in a forward going way?
  • AFS quota issues (frickler 20231217)
    • mirror.openeuler has reached its quota limit and the mirror job seems to be failing since two weeks. I'm also a bit worried that they seem do have doubled their volume over the last 12 months
    • ubuntu mirrors are also getting close, but we might have another couple of months time there
    • mirror.centos-stream seems to have a steep increase in the last two months and might also run into quota limits soon
    • project.zuul with the latest releases is getting close to its tight limit of 1GB (sic), I suggest to simply double that
  • Broken wheel build issues (frickler 20231217)
    • wheel builds for centos >=8 seem broken, with nobody maintaining these it might be better to drop them?
• Open discussion
  • (tonyb 20231128) [If time permits]. Could we enable via roles/jobs or with an additional nodepool driver. The ability for [OpenStack] project teams to run unit tests with the python images we already build eg https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/898756.

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 foo/example -> bar/example: https://review.opendev.org/123456
