| 11:17:33 | cdent | what's wrong with pkg data for those things? | |
| 11:18:20 | sdague | write me the setup.py that configures apache | |
| 11:18:28 | sdague | for placement | |
| 11:18:31 | cdent | that's what I'm saying we don't want that | |
| 11:18:57 | sdague | that's what I'm saying we absolutely want if we expect the pip install method to be a thing | |
| 11:19:03 | cdent | why should pip install nova configure apache? | |
| 11:19:15 | cdent | ansible, puppet, my fingers should do that | |
| 11:19:25 | sdague | then it's not an installer | |
| 11:20:00 | sdague | if "pip install nova" doesn't get to me to "service nova start" and things work, then there is a bunch of missing space there | |
| 11:20:24 | cdent | yes, and it is in that missing space where most people want their own control | |
| 11:20:45 | cdent | if we try to, ourselves, fill in that space we are giving ourselves a bunch of work that we will most likely get wrong, and will also not reach everyone | |
| 11:20:46 | sdague | cdent: not for the most part people using our install guide | |
| 11:20:51 | cdent | better to make that space blank | |
| 11:21:19 | cdent | the current install guide has a _ton_ of by hand work | |
| 11:21:22 | sdague | cdent: just to be clear, you are mostly just arguing for the status quo | |
| 11:21:27 | sdague | which, is fine | |
| 11:21:28 | cdent | which at the moment is at risk of constantly wrong | |
| 11:22:34 | alex_xu | johnthetubaguy: sdague I guess this is just waiting for +2 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/445864/ :) | |
| 11:22:45 | zioproto | johnthetubaguy: running mitaka I found out that I have rows with the same instance_uuid in the table instance_extra | |
| 11:22:46 | cdent | I would much rather the docs start from a common denominator (which would be be 'pip install <something' and then proceed (in the hard-way trope that's common these days) to educate people in the system they are messing with | |
| 11:22:53 | cdent | for the people who want automation they can go use it | |
| 11:22:55 | zioproto | should I understand why ? | |
| 11:23:03 | zioproto | it sounds like a possible bug ? | |
| 11:25:01 | johnthetubaguy | zioproto: good question, I am not sure, sounds bad | |
| 11:25:43 | johnthetubaguy | sdague: I think I was with cdent (in the crazy idea in my head), its about documenting using pip to do the install, not about making pip do all the install | |
| 11:26:05 | johnthetubaguy | sdague: but it does seem odd writing it down when people want a script to do it for them | |
| 11:27:02 | cdent | johnthetubaguy, sdague I don't think people who are trying things _do_ want a script to do it for them. They want to try it on for size by really understanding the pieces and parts. Then once they decide it is worth it _then_ they want automation | |
| 11:28:22 | sdague | cdent: that's probably an area where we don't agree. I've never seen that perspective in anyone I've interacted with. | |
| 11:29:05 | cdent | the install guide shouldn't really be an install guide, it's a "what's this openstack thing guide". Anybody who is _really_ using it will have transcended that stage. | |
| 11:30:50 | cdent | such a document would start with something like "if you don't care about these details, see <these OSA docs>" | |
| 11:31:18 | cdent | (of course in the absence of the people, all of this is moot) | |
| 11:35:26 | cdent | I guess underlying all this for me is that the point of upstream install docs in something as huge and infrastructurey as openstack is not to create users, it is to create contributors. | |
| 11:35:34 | sdague | maybe, I think that's just punting the problem. And I don't feel like those level of installers actually scale down well to small clusters. | |
| 11:38:21 | sdague | so, I'm assuming the starting point of this conversation is issues with placement docs? | |
| 11:39:11 | cdent | but of course, but we resolved that relatively quickly and moved on to general notions of how do we improve the communication about creation of docs, and then into more esoteric notions of "what are docs, anyway?" | |
| 11:39:47 | cdent | the original problem was that there's a mismatch in the docs between the configured endpoint for placement in apache in the packages and the service catalog endpoint | |
| 11:41:36 | sdague | and that it took a while to notice? | |
| 11:42:39 | cdent | sdague: I think more that the various threads of noticing took a while to cohere into shared awareness? | |
| 11:43:05 | sdague | ok, I'm not sure I understand what that sentence means | |
| 11:43:58 | cdent | lots of people noticed, at different times, and talked about with different people, at different times, but because the right people weren't there at the time of talking it didn't result in plans for change until yesterday afternoon | |
| 11:44:11 | openstackgerrit | Feodor Tersin proposed openstack/nova master: Implement ScaleIO image backend https://review.openstack.org/407440 | |
| 11:44:18 | cdent | (that's captures the subthread in this discussion of "IRC may be hurting us, sometimes") | |
| 11:45:36 | cdent | jaypipes: I hope you had a good sleep and coffee already | |
| 11:45:49 | jaypipes | cdent: yes on both counts :) | |
| 11:47:15 | sdague | cdent: so, just to make sure we're not just all sitting around discussing while the house is burning, whatever was broken is now fixed? and now it's postmortem? | |
| 11:47:53 | cdent | the immediate problem is in the process of being fixed in the install guides. this is postmortem and noodling about how to do better in the future | |
| 11:48:30 | openstack | Launchpad bug 1683585 in openstack-manuals "Placement endpoint configuration incorrect as written" [High,Confirmed] - Assigned to Brian Moss (bmoss) | |
| 11:48:30 | cdent | https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1683585 | |
| 11:57:28 | asettle | cdent: thanks for continuing to look into it | |
| 12:08:57 | lyarwood | https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/nova+branch:master+topic:bug/1685185 - core reviews on this bugfix series would be appreciated if anyone has time today. | |
| 12:29:54 | andymccr | if any cores are about to review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/455710/ it would be appreciated - I'd like to return OSA to tracking head of master for Nova. | |
| 12:32:57 | efried | sdague Can I please get a re-up on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/438729/ when you get a chance? Trivial changes since last PS. | |
| 12:35:47 | Srinu | Hi, how run cloud-init while creating nova server through nova client api python using userdata script . i passed the string in userdata as argument while creating server but it is not running the commands what i mentioned in the userdata script. Userdata script is not copying to /var/lib/cloud/ directory | |
| 12:36:44 | sdague | efried: done | |
| 12:36:51 | efried | sdague Thank you kindly. | |
| 12:37:55 | efried | Srinu I think that question might be more appropriate for #openstack. | |
| 12:47:28 | dane-fichter | Is there any guide / docs on how to add things to the Instance object? | |
| 12:53:44 | BobBall | mikal: I kinda hope that the decorator is causing some failure to parse code (or similar) which results in the import failure... but the logs are not very helpful, are they | |
| 12:54:44 | openstackgerrit | John Garbutt proposed openstack/nova master: Remove all discoverable policy rules https://review.openstack.org/459608 | |
| 13:01:39 | mriedem | it's national bug spring cleaning day | |
| 13:01:44 | mriedem | international i should say | |
| 13:02:19 | mriedem | bauzas: sfinucan: can we get this in to unblock using the latest os-brick? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/459420/ | |
| 13:02:48 | bauzas | mriedem: wait, what ? international bug sprint cleaning day ? orly? | |
| 13:02:52 | bauzas | mriedem: looking | |
| 13:04:05 | bauzas | mriedem: done | |
| 13:04:10 | bauzas | sfinucan: ^ | |
| 13:04:27 | dane-fichter | mriedem: I've got a bug that's breaking ephemeral storage encryption | |
| 13:04:32 | dane-fichter | mriedem: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/446072/ | |
| 13:04:35 | mriedem | bauzas: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-April/115704.html | |
| 13:04:37 | sfinucan | mriedem: likewise | |
| 13:04:46 | dane-fichter | ^ that patch has been sitting for a while | |
| 13:10:05 | vladikr | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/prep-for-network-aware-scheduling-pike | |
| 13:10:05 | vladikr | mriedem, hey, for some reason my emails to the dev list are being rejected .. but if no one else is interested, I could continue working on these two: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/live-migrate-rescued-instances | |
| 13:11:17 | mriedem | vladikr: i'm good with you taking the live migrate rescued instances one, you might want to talk to johnthetubaguy about the network-aware scheduling one | |
| 13:12:02 | johnthetubaguy | yeah, I have a lot of the patches up for that second one | |
| 13:12:04 | sdague | alex_xu: did we ever end up with the swagger docs for nova committed anywhere? to show as an example? | |
| 13:12:21 | johnthetubaguy | mriedem: vladikr: I am really just waiting on reviews on that second one | |
| 13:13:01 | vladikr | johnthetubaguy, ah, sure. I just saw it on the list, | |
| 13:13:24 | vladikr | mriedem, cool, I'll continue with the first one then | |
| 13:13:25 | johnthetubaguy | vladikr: I believe the code was up for the live-migrated-rescued-instances one, the original paul murray patch was tidied up | |
| 13:13:49 | mriedem | mtreinish: looks like you want to own https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/remove-nova-cert now? | |
| 13:14:00 | mriedem | paul carlton | |
| 13:14:10 | johnthetubaguy | mriedem: you are right, my pad | |
| 13:14:14 | johnthetubaguy | bad | |
| 13:14:25 | mriedem | british HPE guys named paul are a dime a dozen | |
| 13:14:35 | johnthetubaguy | mriedem: was looking a policy this morning, made a lis on the spec | |
| 13:14:40 | johnthetubaguy | mriedem: apparently | |
| 13:14:51 | vladikr | ok, I see ... | |
| 13:15:11 | mriedem | vladikr: i've assigned https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/live-migrate-rescued-instances to you | |
| 13:15:12 | mriedem | thanks | |
| 13:15:21 | vladikr | mriedem, thanks | |
| 13:15:22 | mriedem | there is also a tempest test to test the series, but that probably also needs updating | |
| 13:15:31 | vladikr | ok | |
| 13:15:34 | johnthetubaguy | yeah, that needs work I suspect | |
| 13:16:07 | vladikr | I'll take a look. I haven't seen what has been done so far | |
| 13:18:10 | sfinucan | mriedem: Could you look at [1] at some point. It's low priority, but I want to get it in now so we can stick to a six month (/one release) deprecation cycle [1] https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/nova+branch:master+topic:bp/move-nova-cmds-to-cliff | |
| 13:19:21 | mriedem | sfinucan: i'll start the series, but probably can't start on it this morning | |
| 13:19:24 | mriedem | *star | |
| 13:19:47 | sfinucan | mriedem: Fine by me. Once it's looked at some time in the next week or two | |
| 13:19:49 | sfinucan | ta :) | |
