openSUSE admin

2021-01-05 heroes meeting

• Lars: OSes need maintenance updates installed regularly, especially for services reachable from the Internet
• galera machines had broken salt setup ; applied on galera3
• bad python upgrade broke weblate ; fixed by update
• mailman UTF8/base64 encoding remains original encoding now - probably due to footer dropping
  • archive search not working - indexer never finished from Oom (VM has only 4GB)
• vbulletin upgrade forum migration progress to move away from SLES-12 to Leap 15.2 ; might lose custom theming ; redo theme with minimal effort because we will switch to discourse soon
  • migration is tricky because user accounts are not aligned
  • forums might have used ML RSS feed and broke 2020-11-10 with the migration to mailman3
• meet2.infra.o.o not in DNS, allows no ssh :-( ; bmwiedemann's key added can jump via scar.infra.o.o ssh root@meet2.opensuse.org.
• moodle server not salted
• moving openSUSE services into cloud
  • both US and EU to provide lower latencies to users
  • need to itemize existing servers
  • should be a separate account from SUSE's - maybe owned by a future Foundation?
