[16:26] Did we get a response on the support ticket raised with Linode ? [16:28] (Photo, 867x346) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/1c7MuGHk/file_17592.jpg [16:38] Hmmm, do we know what the monthly cost would be ? [16:38] ~£190 [16:39] I went up a few months ago, which is why we are running out of credit a bit sooner than we though! [16:41] OK, do we know how much utilisation it has ? i.e can we a smaller setup ? [16:42] I suppose time is against us now though ☹️ [16:44] The next step down halves the disk space, which would be a bit tight for us [16:51] Hmm. the $60 ($95 with tax) might be ok [16:52] they have upped the disk space on that to what we have now [16:56] @Sick_Rimmit I'll tweet linode later from the Kubuntu account, to give a polite nudge 😉 [18:53] OK, that's a good idea. [19:10] (Photo, 616x549) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/N7ozTwsN/file_17599.jpg [19:38] 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] I am more than willing to help out with sysadmin tasks to get it working and functional [19:39] So I'd like to propose a vote to change to Altispeed to host the server [19:39] No social media hassle, plus we get advertising on a Linux podcast with over a million listens [19:40] 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] Well, I would suggest that we try to get the extension from Linode, AND that we also look at the Altispeed option as well. [19:41] That way we can plan for the update, and also document etc... [19:41] Sounds sensible [19:42] 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 [19:43] Just need to work out what to back up in case we lose the linode soon [19:44] 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] But in doing so, we could create a build system decoupled from the hosting, and perhaps even using multi-tennant. [19:44] Perhaps that is beyond the skillset of current contributors, although I like your thinking [19:45] In Lubuntu's infrastructure we currently use LXD [19:45] Every service gets its own container, and haproxy is used to forward requests [19:46] Well that's probably just as good, my thinking is that we decouple from the host OS into containers. [19:46] That's exactly what we do :) [19:47] The KCI node and packaging we have is all in LXD [19:47] Well hopefully, Linode will come through so we can get more time [19:47] 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] @RikMills, Nice [19:48] @tsimonq2, Yeah, apart from doing the forwarding via ufw and iptables that is not documented [19:48] Hmm [19:48] @tsimonq2, @Sick_Rimmit @RikMills thoughts on this? [19:49] Well for a Quorum, do we need one other person to give us the nod ? [19:50] @ahoneybun ? [19:50] For me, I am happy for @tsimonq2 to proceed with Altispeed [19:50] ditto [19:56] That's fine. [19:56] Okay, so I'll talk to Altispeed so we can provision a machine [19:56] Quorum then [19:56] Yes, looks good [19:57] Great to be able to move quickly like this [19:57] Shal I leave the tweet I did? [19:57] Yes, definetly as we want Linode to extend [19:57] If we can get another year, then lets do that [19:58] ok :) [19:59] 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] I'll report back with a more formalized request once we have the server provisioned [19:59] Yes we can certainly do that [19:59] Kool [20:07] https://twitter.com/linode/status/1168615672873717760 [20:08] YaY!!! That's Greaaaaat News [20:58] To clarify, we're getting dedicated hardware just for Kubuntu [20:58] Management at Altispeed basically all runs Kubuntu, so they're happy to go the extra mile :) [20:59] Fwd from Kernellinux: Just got confirmation - eta is Sep 9th / online sep 10th lets say [20:59] That's really great, we appreciate it [21:00] Agreed :) [21:03] (Document) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/v0sRjFTm/file_17603.mp4 [21:07] We can probably get stuff like the way pages hosted there, so they work again. Plus other extras [21:08] QA Pages, do you mean like the test plans etc.. [21:09] Kubuntu can even run our own Phabricator and Discourse instance >:P [21:10] I meant the automated qa status pages for ppa staginging, showing what needs fixing. We lost those from Jon's sweetie server [21:12] @tsimonq2, Indeed. I'm sure we can make good use as more than just a vps [21:15] 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 [21:16] 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] https://forms.gle/6UqCY8yCLf2x5hhC8 [21:17] That's for T7403 … https://phabricator.kde.org/T7403
