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> ~£19016:38
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 us16:44
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Hmm. the $60 ($95 with tax) might be ok16:51
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> they have upped the disk space on that to what we have now16:52
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 Kubuntu19:38
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> I am more than willing to help out with sysadmin tasks to get it working and functional19:38
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> So I'd like to propose a vote to change to Altispeed to host the server19:39
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> No social media hassle, plus we get advertising on a Linux podcast with over a million listens19:39
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 whole19:40
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 sensible19:41
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 out19:42
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Just need to work out what to back up in case we lose the linode soon19:43
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 thinking19:44
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> In Lubuntu's infrastructure we currently use LXD19:45
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> Every service gets its own container, and haproxy is used to forward requests19:45
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 LXD19:47
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Well hopefully, Linode will come through so we can get more time19:47
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, Nice19:47
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @tsimonq2, Yeah, apart from doing the forwarding via ufw and iptables that is not documented19:48
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> Hmm19:48
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 Altispeed19:50
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> ditto19:50
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> That's fine.19:56
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> Okay, so I'll talk to Altispeed so we can provision a machine19:56
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Quorum then19:56
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Yes, looks good19:56
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Great to be able to move quickly like this19:57
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Shal I leave the tweet I did?19:57
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Yes, definetly as we want Linode to extend19:57
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> If we can get another year, then lets do that19:57
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 provisioned19:59
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Yes we can certainly do that19:59
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> Kool19:59
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> https://twitter.com/linode/status/116861567287371776020:07
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> YaY!!! That's Greaaaaat News20:08
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> To clarify, we're getting dedicated hardware just for Kubuntu20:58
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 say20:59
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> That's really great, we appreciate it20:59
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> Agreed :)21:00
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> (Document) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/v0sRjFTm/file_17603.mp421:03
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> We can probably get stuff like the way pages hosted there, so they work again. Plus other extras21:07
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 >:P21:09
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> I meant the automated qa status pages for ppa staginging, showing what needs fixing. We lost those from Jon's sweetie server21:10
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @tsimonq2, Indeed. I'm sure we can make good use as more than just a vps21:12
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 docs21:15
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/6UqCY8yCLf2x5hhC821:16
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> That's for T7403  … https://phabricator.kde.org/T740321:17
