Seriously?  Ubuntu Advantage?

Who really needs that If you have a good sysadmin team...?

A discuss <-> email gateway could be nice to everyone. Posts in this
mailing list would be automatically added to discuss and vice versa.

Very good idea indeed!

I wonder however if a discussion platform is the best for having a "best
practice" reference. Maybe better a wiki, or a repository on
bitbucket/github/gitlab where people can send pull requests. Or
dedicated questions like "how to monitor and be notified of mis-behaving
containers" on e.g. https://askubuntu.com/ ?

Or better send pull requests if possible at all to
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxd.html
?

Re: [lxc-users] discuss.linuxcontainers.org experiment

Ron,

If you are using LXD as part of line of business or mission critical
infrastructure for an enterprise, I would have expected that you would
already have purchased a comprehensive Ubuntu Advantage support plan
from Canonical. That's the most reliable way to get relevant,
up-to-date, "official" advice from Canonical as to best practices and
usability tips.

The point of Ubuntu Advantage is that you're getting "official" help
from the source, and IIRC it comes with a response time SLA so you can
be sure that if the developers get busy with deadlines, you'll still
get a response within X hours/days.

Full disclosure: I used to be an Ubuntu Advantage customer, and had a
good experience, but I have no financial or social incentive to
promote a Canonical offering... I just think it'd be good to have if
you don't have it already. And if you do have it, use it!

You can also ask on Discourse or the mailing list, but keep in mind
that Discourse and the mailing list are open to the user community, so
you're going to get "unofficial" responses that might be wrong or not
applicable to your situation (such as mine ;)).

To me, it would be a little weird to have some sort of officially
blessed set of Canonical-only official posts on the Discourse. Isn't
the purpose of the Discourse to be open to the community? (Including
posts by core devs, who might be Canonical employees, but are speaking
on behalf of themselves as an individual, not on behalf of the
company.)

If having the official advice of the company as a legal entity is
critical to you, I can only give you a positive endorsement of Ubuntu
Advantage as a fellow customer.

Sean

Re: [lxc-users] discuss.linuxcontainers.org experiment

[Ron Kelley]

Stéphane,

Thanks for setting up the discussion group.  I just joined…

As a suggestion, it would be great if we could have an official “best 
practices” section supported/endorsed by the Canonical team.  Or, a section 
whereby people can contribute their designs and others can add their 
viewpoints.  I know many people use LXC/LXD for home/personal use, but many of 
use are using this technology in data center production environments.

Some ideas off the top of my head:
* How to manage tens/hundreds of LXD servers (single host, multi-host, or 
multi-geo locations)
* How to quickly find mis-behaving containers (consuming too much resources, 
etc)
* How to get container run-time stats per LXD server
* Best practices when backing up, restoring, cloning containers
* Best practices when deploying containers (same UID, different UID per 
container, etc)

As we adopt LXD more and more in our DC designs, it becomes increasingly 
important for our organization to leverage best practices from the industry 
experts. 

Thanks,

-Ron

The Github login page here shows up as a pop-up window.

Reproduced the same error on a fresh install of Firefox 52.x ESR, with
zero add-ons/extensions and no cookies anywhere (had never used
Firefox before on this system). Logged into GitHub, then went to
discuss.linuxcontainers.org, then clicked "Sign Up", then clicked
"with GitHub". Message matches my previous post.

Having trouble registering a new account based on Github auth. I
confirmed I'm logged into Github in another tab. Chrome latest stable
on MacOS Sierra.

Specific error (in a red box in a pop-up window) says: "Sorry, there
was an error authorizing your account. Perhaps you did not approve
authorization?"

I never even get a prompt *to* approve authorization.

[lxc-users] discuss.linuxcontainers.org experiment

[Stéphane Graber]

Hey there,

We know that not everyone enjoys mailing-lists and searching through
mailing-list archives and would rather use a platform that's dedicated
to discussion and support.

We don't know exactly how many of you would prefer using something like
that instead of the mailing-list or how many more people are out there
who would benefit from such a platform.

But we're giving it a shot and will see how things work out over the
next couple of months. If we see little interest, we'll just kill it off
and revert to using just the lxc-users list. If we see it take off, we
may start recommending it as the preferred place to get support and
discuss LXC/LXD/LXCFS.


The new site is at: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org


We support both Github login as well as standalone registration, so that
should make it easy for anyone interested to be able to post questions
and content.

The site is configured to self-moderate, so active users who post good
content and help others will automatically get more privileges. That
should let the community shape how this space works rather than have me
and the core team babysit it :)


Discourse (the engine we use for this) supports notifications by e-mail
as well as responses and topic creation by e-mail. So for those of you
who don't like dealing with web stuff, you can tweak the e-mail settings
in your account and then interact with it almost entirely through
e-mails.

Just a note on that bit, the plaintext version of those e-mails isn't so
great right now, it's not properly wrapped, contains random spacing and
the occasional html. I subscribed myself to receive all notifications
and will try to tweak the discourse e-mail code for those of us who use
mutt or other text-based clients.


Anyway, please feel free to post your questions over there, share
stories on what you're doing with LXC/LXD/LXCFS, ...

We just ask that bug reports remain on Github. If a support question
turns out to be a bug, we'll file one for you on Github or ask for you
to go file one there (similar to what we've been doing on this list).


Hope this is a useful addition to our community!

Stéphane
