#4350 need system for ostree experimentation
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by mattdm.

We need a system for ostree experimentation. This is probably a private cloud instance (so I filed it as such), but it may be $other.

The medium term plan is to have this done by a koji plugin, but in the meantime, we need a system to run rpm-ostree-autobuilder, which polls a git repo for changes and runs the ostree build commands as necessary.

Colin tells me that all of the requirements are in Fedora already, and so it's basically just a stock system plus the rpm-ostree-autobuilder rpm and its dependencies.

The system should have about 50GB of scratch space. It would be nice for the output to land on http://alt.fedoraproject.org/ somewhere.

The basic instructions are at https://github.com/cgwalters/rpm-ostree/blob/master/README.md

One approach would be to set up a system with sudo access for me, Colin, and Jason Brooks, and we could configure it in an ad-hoc fashion. It'd be nice to have it be semi-repeatable, though -- possibly entirely configured via an ansible playbook? (As noted above, though, this is meant to be temporary until koji integration work is complete)


I can, of course, spin up an instance on the Fedora cloud, but a) I would like that instance to be a little bit more than transient and b) There's the "write to alt.fedoraproject.org" part.

We have a old virthost freed up now, just need to wipe it and get it networked for you.

What OS would you like on it? rhel6? f20?

Is rhel7 an option? If not then f20 is fine.

Can we configure the server so that people in a certain Fedora group have access?

I'd prefer to not do any rhel7 hosts until we have normal security updates flow for them.

Yes, we can definitely add a group to have access... typically such groups we have setup as 'sysadmin-whatever'.

This should be all done now.

We could redo with rhel7 now, please file a new ticket if you would like that. ;)
