I'm sending out the minutes to help @mikedep333 who is off today
*Minutes*
-
Installer having a dedicated project in Redmine?
-
Create a new query for triage that disincludes issues with ‘Pulp 3
installer’ tag.
-
Add a public query that shows all issues with ‘Pulp 3 installer’
category.
-
Is the tag the right way to mark the issues? Should we use category
instead?
-
Create a ‘Installer’ Category
-
Add a Sphinx note on how to file installer bugs.
-
Pain points - https://pulp.plan.io/issues/6658
-
Addressed last week:
-
Brief explanation added -
https://docs.pulpproject.org/en/master/nightly/installation/instructions.html#ansible-installation-recommended
-
Commented example on pulp_installer -
https://github.com/pulp/pulp_installer/blob/master/example-use/group_vars/all
-
To be addressed:
-
https://pulp.plan.io/issues/6723 - latest docs not being updated
-
[Bmbouter] to enquire about enabling github auth for issue tracker
-
[mdellweg -> issue] Debian 10 install instructions need to be
improved.
-
Fao89 - file an issue with explicit error due prereq roles
-
Plugin neutral policy for the installer
-
Prerequisite roles create extra work for users at install time and
for developers at release time
-
We should consider adding the cloning of the prerequisites roles
using the installer or completely integrating all the prerequisites into
the installer
-
Demo video for pulp_installer?
-
Video should not have audio
-
https://asciinema.org/ - records terminal output and can be embedded
in our docs and in the README on github
-
Dkliban to file task for creating this video - will include RPM,
container
-
Managing dependencies with poetry -
https://www.redhat.com/archives/pulp-dev/2020-May/msg00082.html
-
Not a call for action
-
Just informing my findings
-
Investigation into obal / obsah:
-
Why investigate now?
-
pulp-insta-demo.sh is about to be removed from website
-
As we make more improvements to the installer, we consider the
constraints of publishing on galaxy. This may introduce addtl
constraints.
-
Mike’s vision:
-
Have a pulp_installer_wrapper.sh that users download and run.
-
Bundles pulp_installer (playbooks/roles/vars) & ansible
interpreter into that .sh file.
-
Some sort of editor or prompts for (commonly adjusted) variables,
making them easy to set, harder to mess up.
-
Assumes localhost by default.
-
Achieves usability & convenience for many users
-
What obal / obsah can accomplish:
-
Users pip install a pulp_installer_wrapper python package that
depends on obsah & ansible, or invoke a container we publish with it.
-
pulp_installer (playbooks/roles/vars) are bundled into the
pulp_installer_wrapper python package.
-
Depending on how much code we write, users would run commands like:
-
pulp_installer_something -e
pulp_default_admin_password=password,pulp_install_plugins={jsonblob},any_other_vars=values
-
pulp_installer_something --admin_pw password
--pulp_install_plugins_yaml /path/to/file.yaml -e
any_other_vars=values
-
localhost assumed, or required (didn’t investigate which exactly)
-
Mike’s opinion:
-
Not worth it. Increases usability & convenience only a little bit.
-
Still look into other tools
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/other_tools_and_programs.html#other-tools>,
or what other projects with collections like ansible-freeipa
are doing for
the usability & convenience problem.
Action Items
-
Bmbouter to create Installer Category, new Saved Query, port existing
Tag to Category, and remove Installer tag

-
[Bmbouter] to enquire about enabling github auth for issue tracker
