| blackboxsw | SRU uploads queued for 23.3 into Focal, Jammy and Lunar -proposed. Thanks falcojr for the PRs and uploads there. We will probably start an SRU verification this week then | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| blackboxsw | dbungert: as a heads up, this is the cloud-init SRU that we know will require a livecd-rootfs set of changes to drop the After=snapd.seeded.service systemd dependency ordering for Jammy | 00:04 |
| dbungert | blackboxsw: ack, I started the livecd-rootfs side today | 00:04 |
| blackboxsw | falcojr is going to manage the SRU release for 23.3. I'll assist w/ subiquity-specific testing where needed. | 00:04 |
| blackboxsw | ppa:cloud-init-dev/proposed has cloud-init 23.3 uploaded and built for focal, jammy, lunar and mantic if that helps anyone for testing. | 01:10 |
| senzilla | Hello 👋 Any OpenBSD people here? 😊 I have run into some issues related to dhcp and network bring-up on OpenBSD | 16:59 |
| senzilla | I chatted to minimal yesterday, and I will open an issue on GitHub tomorrow and describe the issues in more detail | 17:00 |
| minimal | meena: ping! | 17:02 |
| senzilla | meena: Thanks for all the FreeBSD improvements to cloud-init! I think it's brought OpenBSD a lot closer as well! 🙂 | 17:14 |
| meena | senzilla: hi | 17:59 |
| meena | minimal has relayed your issues, but i haven't had much time to do stuff today | 18:00 |
| meena | kiddo is back to school on Friday… | 18:00 |
| meena | So, essentially, we need to split this into a base class, and one for each divergent BSD | 18:03 |
| senzilla | meena: Right. We might also need a new Dhcp class. IscDhclient might not cut it for OpenBSD since it's based on dhclient which is being phased out in OpenBSD. It would be better to use dhcpleasectl instead | 18:15 |
| inflatador | minimal thanks for the heads-up on that | 18:16 |
| minimal | senzilla: dhcpcd and udhcpc support was added recently as part of catering for dhclient EOL | 18:16 |
| senzilla | meena: dhclient is still in OpenBSD base, but it's not working well with assumptions in cloud-init (pid files and lease files are not compatible I think) | 18:16 |
| senzilla | Yesterday, I started stubbing out a new Dhcp class for dhcpleased/dhcpleasectl . I won't find much time in the next couple of days, but I think it'll be pretty straight forward | 18:18 |
| minimal | senzilla: is that IPv4 only? | 18:20 |
| senzilla | Yeah, unfortunately I think so | 18:22 |
| senzilla | I think the OpenBSD distro class could set preferred dhcp class priority based on ipv6 setting | 18:37 |
| meena | senzilla: how well would dhcplease(d|ctl) work for the net_ops class? | 18:41 |
| * meena is trying to update her dev VM to 14.0 ALPHA | 18:42 | |
| senzilla | meena: I need to dive into the code base a bit more to answer that. Don't have it in front of me right now | 18:48 |
| senzilla | meena: and, good luck with the VM update :) | 18:51 |
| meena | https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/main/cloudinit/net/dhcp.py#L199 | 18:51 |
| meena | not netops, netops should work. | 18:51 |
| meena | already ran out of memory twice on compiling LLVM. | 18:51 |
| senzilla | Yes, I think netops will work. But I don't think IscDhclient will work | 18:51 |
| holmanb | senzilla: hi o/ | 18:52 |
| senzilla | I think we need a new class, something like Dhcpleased(DhcpClient) which works entirely with dhcpleased and dhcpleasectl | 18:53 |
| senzilla | holmanb: 👋 | 18:53 |
| holmanb | senzilla: thanks for digging into this, your help on this is welcome and appreciated :D | 18:53 |
| holmanb | senzilla: sounds like you're on the right track | 18:53 |
| senzilla | I'm not super | 18:54 |
| senzilla | ...familiar with python | 18:55 |
| meena | senzilla: do you have any sysvinit files for OpenBSD you can contribute? | 18:55 |
| senzilla | is it only the @classmethod methods that count as the actual "public" Dhcp class interface? | 18:55 |
| meena | senzilla: we'll happily help… but, i wasn't super familiar with Python before starting to work on cloud-init (and iocage) | 18:56 |
| holmanb | senzilla: fyi, the Udhcpc class is incomplete and won't fully function on azure (and maybe others, would need to check), but it's a really good starting place to get a dhcp_discovery() implimented for whichever class is needed for OpenBSD | 18:56 |
| holmanb | senzilla: no classmethod just means that the method can be called with the class without instansiating an object instance | 18:57 |
| senzilla | meena: I do not have any sysvinit files. I actually think the best way to integrate cloud-init is to patch /etc/rc. I don't like patching base, but I think it makes sense here. Because OpenBSD have intentionally hard coded a lot of the init and service startup procedures. And getting cloud-init inserted early enough would require patching /etc/rc | 18:58 |
| meena | oy | 18:59 |
| meena | i didn't realize | 18:59 |
| meena | but i think goneri does it similarly | 18:59 |
| senzilla | Alternatively, a cleanly packaged version could create a couple of sysvinit files. But cloud-init will only come in right at the end after all base services | 18:59 |
| meena | https://goneri.lebouder.net/2022/11/11/bsd-cloud-image-org-new-images/ | 19:00 |
| senzilla | meena: goneri is writing the cloud-init boot stages to /etc/rc.local which is only just before user defined services. Still way after base services start up | 19:00 |
| senzilla | meena: Yeah, I have studied goneri's work a fair bit | 19:01 |
| meena | on FreeBSD we're very early. basically, after network is up (including ntpd, i think) and after the critical part of the filesystems is mounted. | 19:02 |
| senzilla | Yeah, one have to patch /etc/rc to get inserted that early in OpenBSD. The hard coded and fully predictable start up order in BSD is great for robustness, predictability and security guarantees | 19:03 |
| senzilla | It's less good for integration :P | 19:03 |
| senzilla | s/BSD/OpenBSD/ | 19:04 |
| meena | *nod* *nod* | 19:04 |
| senzilla | But hey, rc is placed in /etc... It's free for all right :P | 19:05 |
| meena | are there any other ports that modify /etc/rc? | 19:09 |
| senzilla | Don't think so. I think the port should *not* patch /etc/rc . I doubt that would get accepted. It's probably best to leave that as a documented manual intervention | 19:16 |
| senzilla | I have got a set of Packer templates for building cloud-init OpenBSD VMs. Similar to what goneri is doing. | 19:17 |
| senzilla | I haven't reached out to goneri yet, but it would make sense to collaborate with him on a standard pre-patched cloud-init OpenBSD image | 19:19 |
