[09:16] <caribou> Hello, I need to propose a fix to squid-deb-proxy's upstart job
[09:17] <caribou> and since maas region controller has a dependancy on squid-deb-proxy, I'd like to check with you first
[09:17] <caribou> so I don't break anything on your side. Anyone around who knows about squid-deb-proxy's usage with maas ?
[12:48] <caribou> so nobody knows anything particular to squid-deb-proxy startup ?
[13:02] <jgrassler> I don't know about startup but I can tell you what it's used for:
[13:04] <jgrassler> Machines being installed by MAAS get the squid-deb-proxy running on the MAAS controller configured as their proxy for apt.
[14:30] <mup> Bug #1457788 changed: Restarting maas-regiond and maas-clusterd fills the logs with stacktraces <MAAS:Triaged by mpontillo> <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1457788>
[14:30] <mup> Bug #1458894 was opened: Cluster service gives up and logs an IOError too soon <MAAS:Triaged by mpontillo> <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1458894>
[14:30] <mup> Bug #1458895 was opened: Database deadlock while starting regiond <MAAS:Triaged by mpontillo> <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1458895>
[18:47] <pmatulis> my maas nodes are using my maas server as nameserver but the latter is not forwarding and so resolution fails (except for ubuntu archive server names which is another question i have). i am surprised to see that maas uses bind/named. i also see the directory /etc/bind/maas. ① should i be configuring a forwarder there? ② shouldn't this be taken care of during maas installation? did i miss something?
[18:50] <pmatulis> hmm, i have my maas server as forwarder set up in named.conf.options.inside.maas
[18:50] <roaksoax> pmatulis: did you set the upstream DNS in the Settings page?
[18:51] <pmatulis> roaksoax: i'm looking there now... got some ssh forwarding to deal with
[18:52] <pmatulis> roaksoax: i think i remember putting my maas server there. so prolly my mistake
[18:52] <roaksoax> pmatulis: ok, if you set it correctly, and still doesn't forward it, it might be due to the upstream dns server being misconfigured. You would have to work araound it by doing what's detailed on https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1384334
[18:52] <roaksoax> pmatulis: which is changing dnssec-validation form auto, to no "dnssec-validation no;"
[18:56] <pmatulis> roaksoax: working! ok, so i was confused by the field "Upstream DNS used to resolve domains not managed by this MAAS" . i figured, well of course all my domains are managed by maas". i guess in my mind i did s/domains/nodes or something
[18:57] <pmatulis> roaksoax: which comes back to my other question, why does resolution work for say archive.ubuntu.com ?
[20:12] <roaksoax> pmatulis: right, so the MAAS dns only resolves DNS it manages, not other DNS
[20:12] <roaksoax> pmatulis: hence the need to setup a forwarder
[20:12] <roaksoax> pmatulis: and it works because it goes through the proxy
[20:13] <roaksoax> pmatulis: only apt is being sent through the proyxy
[21:12] <pmatulis> roaksoax: but apt doesn't resolve names. wondering how it resolves, say, archive.ubuntu.com
[21:25] <dpb1> blake_r: roaksoax: is the static range in the gui required to be filled in?
[21:26] <roaksoax> pmatulis: because of the proxy :)
[21:26] <roaksoax> dpb1: it should not be, but if you dont, then it is really bad user experience
[21:26] <dpb1> roaksoax: ok
[21:27] <roaksoax> dpb1: why would you not want to fill it in? :)
[21:28] <dpb1> roaksoax: meh, in our environment, we don't really care about the distinction.
[21:28] <dpb1> roaksoax: it's certainly not a big deal at all
[21:28] <roaksoax> dpb1: so if you don't have a static range, deployed machines might eventually get a different address, and the understanding of what IP-> dns -> ownership might change
[21:29] <dpb1> roaksoax: sure, that I need.  but dynamic nodes pulling from that same range doesn't bother me.
[21:29] <roaksoax> dpb1: i.e. IP leased by node01.maas can be given to node02.maas and you'd have someone who thinks node01 and node02 have the same ip
[21:29] <roaksoax> or similar
[21:30] <roaksoax> dpb1: as long as it is a big enough range, it should be ok
[21:30] <dpb1> roaksoax: yes, agreed, which is why it's not a big deal at all.
[21:30] <dpb1> roaksoax: just curious
[21:30] <roaksoax> cool
[21:30] <dpb1> thx
[22:12] <pmatulis> roaksoax: right ok
