We took raw notes at http://pad-katello.rhcloud.com/p/hadocs but here is my edited highlights. Guys, correct me if I missed anything ;) Greg ### HA Docs Kickoff - 11/10 On location of WIP docs: * Considerations were ease of collaboration, potential loss of edits and/or author history, and testing that it renders well. * Currently unsure if this should live in the Foreman manual eventually (as it may be quite large), probably a separate doc * For now, a separate repo can hold the WIP allowing easy collaboration. Other points * Need to detail the concepts & choices the user will need to decide on (eg pass-through vs termination) * Important to detail the tradeoffs in each case * e.g. HA for scale is not the same as HA for availability * It's ok to be opinionated, (e.g. the installer already is) * Pick one set of answers to those questions for the first cut, then expand after * Get a picture/workflow of how the doc will look * The Sat6 doc is very good, for one specific set of answers to those questions * Focus on open-source HA tools * users of bigger pieces of equipment probably know enough to work from there * Choice of initial platform matters a lot - eg HA katello would be much more complex * Probably makes sense to begin from a clean installer run * Get a list of the services that need to be tackled - foreman, proxy, db, dhcp, dns, even the cronjobs * Also things like passenger tuning * Some initial prior art in the blogs by discr33t and mdobrev * Long term plan to consider additional modules for the installer to handle this automatically Actions: [action] Greg to spin up a basic Jekyll site using the main theforeman.org config for initial hacking [discr33t] Dig up notes on the some of the pain points he hit previously [oogs] Look into standalone SSL switchover docs (not directly connected but useful) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.
