| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Did we get a response on the support ticket raised with Linode ? | 16:26 |

| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Hmmm, do we know what the monthly cost would be ? | 16:38 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> ~£190 | 16:38 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> I went up a few months ago, which is why we are running out of credit a bit sooner than we though! | 16:39 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> OK, do we know how much utilisation it has ? i.e can we a smaller setup ? | 16:41 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> I suppose time is against us now though ☹️ | 16:42 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> The next step down halves the disk space, which would be a bit tight for us | 16:44 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Hmm. the $60 ($95 with tax) might be ok | 16:51 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> they have upped the disk space on that to what we have now | 16:52 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> @Sick_Rimmit I'll tweet linode later from the Kubuntu account, to give a polite nudge 😉 | 16:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> OK, that's a good idea. | 18:53 |

| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Kubuntu Council, there is another opportunity we can definitely pursue to get this solved. This box is currently running on 16.04 and has quite a lot of undocumented bits on it. Altispeed Technologies is providing a counteroffer that will upgrade our box and make sure we don't have the need to renew yearly, free of charge to Kubuntu | 19:38 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> I am more than willing to help out with sysadmin tasks to get it working and functional | 19:38 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> So I'd like to propose a vote to change to Altispeed to host the server | 19:39 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> No social media hassle, plus we get advertising on a Linux podcast with over a million listens | 19:39 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> I will admit my conflict of interest here, which is why I'd like to bring it up to the KC as a whole | 19:40 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Well, I would suggest that we try to get the extension from Linode, AND that we also look at the Altispeed option as well. | 19:40 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> That way we can plan for the update, and also document etc... | 19:41 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Sounds sensible | 19:41 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> That's not a bad idea. Have a migration period, move everything over before our Linode subscription runs out again, then just use Linode as a KCI node and sunset it when it runs out | 19:42 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Just need to work out what to back up in case we lose the linode soon | 19:43 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Indeed, further to this however, if we can revisit our tooling, and get it nicely documented, perhaps we could think about a distributed build system, maybe based upon Docker / Kubernetes ( beyond my skills right now ) | 19:44 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> But in doing so, we could create a build system decoupled from the hosting, and perhaps even using multi-tennant. | 19:44 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Perhaps that is beyond the skillset of current contributors, although I like your thinking | 19:44 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> In Lubuntu's infrastructure we currently use LXD | 19:45 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Every service gets its own container, and haproxy is used to forward requests | 19:45 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Well that's probably just as good, my thinking is that we decouple from the host OS into containers. | 19:46 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> That's exactly what we do :) | 19:46 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> The KCI node and packaging we have is all in LXD | 19:47 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Well hopefully, Linode will come through so we can get more time | 19:47 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Anyway, should I provide a formal proposal via the mailing list, or is a simple "yeah I think this looks good" from a quorum sufficient? | 19:47 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> @RikMills, Nice | 19:47 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> @tsimonq2, Yeah, apart from doing the forwarding via ufw and iptables that is not documented | 19:48 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Hmm | 19:48 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> @tsimonq2, @Sick_Rimmit @RikMills thoughts on this? | 19:48 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Well for a Quorum, do we need one other person to give us the nod ? | 19:49 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> @ahoneybun ? | 19:50 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> For me, I am happy for @tsimonq2 to proceed with Altispeed | 19:50 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> ditto | 19:50 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> That's fine. | 19:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Okay, so I'll talk to Altispeed so we can provision a machine | 19:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Quorum then | 19:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Yes, looks good | 19:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Great to be able to move quickly like this | 19:57 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Shal I leave the tweet I did? | 19:57 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Yes, definetly as we want Linode to extend | 19:57 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> If we can get another year, then lets do that | 19:57 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> ok :) | 19:58 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> It's not a hard requirement of the sponsorship, but once we have it all set up, it'd be cool to get the Altispeed logo on the sponsors page and to send out a quick tweet with the podcast etc. | 19:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> I'll report back with a more formalized request once we have the server provisioned | 19:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Yes we can certainly do that | 19:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Kool | 19:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> https://twitter.com/linode/status/1168615672873717760 | 20:07 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> YaY!!! That's Greaaaaat News | 20:08 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> To clarify, we're getting dedicated hardware just for Kubuntu | 20:58 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Management at Altispeed basically all runs Kubuntu, so they're happy to go the extra mile :) | 20:58 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Fwd from Kernellinux: Just got confirmation - eta is Sep 9th / online sep 10th lets say | 20:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> That's really great, we appreciate it | 20:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Agreed :) | 21:00 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> (Document) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/v0sRjFTm/file_17603.mp4 | 21:03 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> We can probably get stuff like the way pages hosted there, so they work again. Plus other extras | 21:07 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> QA Pages, do you mean like the test plans etc.. | 21:08 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Kubuntu can even run our own Phabricator and Discourse instance >:P | 21:09 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> I meant the automated qa status pages for ppa staginging, showing what needs fixing. We lost those from Jon's sweetie server | 21:10 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> @tsimonq2, Indeed. I'm sure we can make good use as more than just a vps | 21:12 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Well I'm happy to have a crack at writing an API integration to display results on a webpage, if someone can point me at the APi endpoint, and a few docs | 21:15 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> Meanwhile, I'm going to start pick up some of the Phab tasks, and see if I can progress them. I've put a survey form together and posted the mailing lists. | 21:16 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> https://forms.gle/6UqCY8yCLf2x5hhC8 | 21:16 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> That's for T7403 … https://phabricator.kde.org/T7403 | 21:17 |
