[00:00:54] module stuff is autoloaded [00:01:01] you need a role class, yes [00:01:14] urgh why do I need a role class if it's autoloaded [00:01:20] the role class will include the classes from the modules [00:01:28] then the node will include the role class [00:01:35] sigh [00:01:38] it's only autoloaded if you include the module [00:01:44] err [00:01:46] that makes sadface [00:01:52] well, it makes sense [00:01:55] Should the https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_debs_in_labs contain a mention of how to create the Package and Release file? Or should those be automatically created? [00:02:02] you have to tell puppet to use the class, obviously [00:02:24] apmon: well, that would be a really long guide [00:02:29] we should just link to debian's guide [00:03:11] "apt-ftparchive release . > Release" and "apt-ftparchive packages . > Package" seems to have done it for me [00:03:33] in /data/project/repos/ [00:04:07] Ryan_Lane: So https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/26441/10/manifests/role/labs-bots.pp is needed eventhough it seems a crazy waste of space and typing [00:04:16] Which is why these where role classes to start with [00:05:37] For signing you need an additional "gpg -abs -o Release.gpg Release". But overall that doesn't seem to complicated to not include it on the wikipage (assuming what I did was correct) [00:05:57] * Damianz kicks puppet and sees if this runs [00:06:13] nope can't find class. same as last time [00:08:22] * Damianz tries class {'':} [00:08:30] would all of these be included on a single node? [00:08:43] or would these all be included on different nodes? [00:09:09] Each class is basically a diferent role with 1 common class included on all of them [00:09:35] ie mysql, apache, common application and a generic symlink+locals class. [00:10:15] Using class { } gives an Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError, using include gives a Could not find class labs::bots::common for *sigh* [00:12:59] yeah [00:13:11] you can't have role::blah::blah2 and include blah::blah2 [00:13:18] because, again, puppet is a piece of shit [00:13:23] wtf [00:13:26] yeah [00:13:28] it's a bug [00:13:33] so I have to name things retardadly [00:13:37] yep [00:13:43] what a pile of shit [00:13:48] well... [00:13:56] if we make the roles modules too, then that's not as much of an issue [00:14:03] we should probably make the roles modules [00:14:12] err [00:14:15] one module role [00:14:19] wait [00:14:20] sorry [00:14:20] What, put all in 1 module and include it in site? [00:14:22] one role module [00:14:34] then each role would be a class in the module [00:14:48] because that's not going to get huge [00:14:57] no larger than it currently is [00:15:10] also [00:15:21] why the bastard pissing fuck can't I rename classes in the gropu manager [00:15:28] heh [00:15:32] I can change which group they are in which is pointless [00:15:43] you can delete and recreate ;) [00:15:51] I have an open bug on that [00:16:03] yeah because that is like 2 more pages per item :( [00:16:27] 3 clicks to delet something is enough to give someone RSI [00:16:40] ideally, I'd turn that entire page into two fancy multi-selects [00:16:50] but not an actual multi-select, because those suck [00:17:03] also, if I could rename them I wouldn't then have to reconfigure all the instances [00:17:13] yeah [00:17:18] I know. it's not ideal [00:17:31] patches welcome :) [00:17:41] though it's also on my agenda at some point [00:18:56] oh come on puppet [00:19:07] So I renamed the role classes and it still throws an error grrr [00:22:06] same error? [00:22:18] thanks for working on this btw [00:22:29] bots was kind of the wild west ;) [00:22:41] err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Could not find declared class labs::bots::common at /etc/puppet/manifests/role/labs-bots.pp:2 on node bots-apache-test.pmtpa.wmflabs [00:22:45] is the latest [00:23:23] ah [00:23:24] I know why [00:24:01] added in a review [00:24:35] heh [00:24:41] please use the GPL for the license :) [00:24:49] or some other OSI approved license [00:25:35] GPL is so mainstream, WTFPL is more amusing [00:25:53] * Damianz wonders if he can sed wtfpl to gpl3 [00:26:26] urgh [00:26:33] it takes the module name not the class name in the module? [00:31:34] New patchset: DamianZaremba; "License change" [labs/nagios-builder] (master) - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/26729 [00:31:47] Change merged: DamianZaremba; [labs/nagios-builder] (master) - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/26729 [00:35:34] Ryan_Lane: Something happened to the "Instances for this project" table recently. [00:35:49] FQDN is no longer just the usable hostname for ssh [00:35:53] it now contains both [00:36:11] which means double click selects both, rather annoying when trying to copy it for ssh [00:36:35] e.g. https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Integration [00:36:52] integration-wikibugs i-0000049c.pmtpa.wmflabs [00:36:54] it used to be "i-0000049c.pmtpa.wmflabs", not it is " [00:37:04] " [00:37:22] holy fucking shit [00:37:24] this works [00:37:27] heh [00:37:40] Krinkle: hm. that's weid [00:37:43] weird [00:37:46] * Damianz should swear less so sumannah doesn't tell him off [00:38:02] https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Browse/Nova_Resource:I-2D0000049c [00:38:09] that's because FQDN is being populated twice [00:38:27] * jeremyb waves sleepily [00:38:28] because a host can totally have 2 fqdns :D [00:38:48] that too [00:38:54] it does actually have two FQDNs [00:38:54] wow, so many accts to create [00:39:15] we need to work towards eliminating the instance id hostname [00:39:31] so that only the instance name is used [00:39:42] we need to purge puppet keys for that, though [00:40:11] yeah, btw that causes issues with the snmp traps in nagios as well as sudo policies etc [00:40:36] and it can't really have 2 because the ptr will only ever be one (unless you're like some of the servers I use to manage that had 3 ptrs...) [00:40:44] fucking useless company those where colo'd at [00:40:57] were* ;) [00:41:13] jeremyb: sp333leeeeeeing doesn't count at nearly 2am :D [00:41:24] it's not nearly 2am though [00:41:34] It's 1:41, that's nearly 2am! [00:42:08] 05 00:41:34 < Damianz> It's 1:41, that's nearly 2am! [00:42:19] it's going to be a decent amount of effort to only use the instance names [00:42:20] You're just in the past [00:42:29] TZ=wikipedia.org [00:42:39] sudo policies in labsconsole are broken because we're inbetween the two right now [00:42:39] Ryan_Lane: I'm sure nova will change them in 6months anyway =D [00:42:43] hahaha [00:42:44] true [00:43:00] Though [00:43:10] Now you have salt on most instances, sorting puppet should be easyish. [00:44:23] So these work, if anyone wants to see crappy manifests I'll happily take general review of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/26441/ (or opinions on what software we should support as standard on bots). [00:44:39] * Damianz goes to find ice cream before bashing out some misc fixes [00:53:02] hah, Test User! [00:53:29] Test User is an actual person, he looks a lot like Ryan. [00:53:41] :) [00:53:47] he is in fact Ryan [00:54:04] I need to test things live every once in a while [00:54:22] jeremyb: While you might have a lot I made it sexy simple now! It's like 3 clicks instead of 6 clicks. [00:54:41] Damianz: what? [00:55:54] (doesn't apply to base accounts, but then they're boring) [00:55:59] Change on 12mediawiki a page Developer access was modified, changed by Jeremyb link https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=590652 edit summary: all done [00:56:16] Damianz: i still don't know what you mean [00:57:06] Auto adding to users to bastion on adding them to the shell group, which saves clicks. Only really applies for the next account steps, base accounts are boring. [01:07:28] Ryan_Lane: Do you have anything against changing the page titles on the wiki to be 'Project' and 'Instance' over the silly nova related name they are now? [01:07:46] well... [01:07:50] it's a different namespac [01:08:00] we'd have to change a lot of crap [01:08:10] a few bots. OpenStackManager [01:08:15] the nova configuration [01:08:56] a bunch of templates [01:08:59] urgh, well changing the namespace and using 2 would be awesome but I thought it was possible to just change the titles and leave the namespace alone [01:09:03] let's make a list of things we need to do [01:09:08] I'd rather use no namespcae [01:09:11] though moving the namespace would be nice long term [01:09:34] is that even possible? due to what we have to pull from the api [01:10:10] something lile //instances //docs //sal would be nice structure wise but I didn't think that was do-able due to the way mw uses pages. [01:11:26] Krinkle: the property is defined in DNS name and in FQDN [01:11:32] I can fix that [01:12:07] I was looking at the stuff we're pulling from the api for the instance pages currently, which I'd rather move to SMW includes and keep that data updated so we don't split it. Though it seems rather urgh currently. [01:12:33] instance page (correct) does | [[FQDN::{{{FQDN|}}}]] [01:12:41] Project page does ?FQDM [01:12:48] how can they give different results [01:13:03] hm. [01:13:08] https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:InstanceStatus&action=edit [01:14:26] fixed [01:14:33] now it'll just show the instance-id fqdn [01:14:37] which is kind of non-ideal [01:14:53] I'd prefer it show the instance name fqdn [01:16:17] that's fine two, as long as it is a fqdn for ssh (with the local config to bind wmflabs to bastion.wmflabs) [01:16:21] too* [01:16:29] i.e. one that work [01:16:30] i.e. one that works [01:16:46] yeah [01:16:55] Ryan_Lane: wait, so integration-wikibugs.pmtpa.wmflabs should work? [01:16:59] (or already works?) [01:17:00] of course [01:17:07] that's awesome [01:17:13] it's also annoying [01:17:16] I never even tried, because that string isn't shown anywhere [01:17:23] (from an integration point of view) [01:17:31] I can actually remember those :D [01:17:34] Damianz: what do you mean? [01:17:41] Krinkle: yep. that's the idea [01:18:01] Ryan_Lane: Multiple names for instances that's not simple to programatically tell which is being used == bleh [01:18:21] andrewbogott: can you make the fqdn field in your template put the FQDN rather than just the hostname? [01:18:29] on the bright side nagios is using the fqdn now so won't break when we bring eqiad up [01:18:31] he's likely not around at this hour :) [01:18:36] Damianz: true [01:18:58] well, the goal is to kill off the instance id host names [01:18:58] I swear I can't tell when andrewbogott is around and not, when he's here he randomly doesn't answer and when he's afk or in a meeting he randomly answers! [01:19:05] heh [01:19:39] he pops in with work magically done, and that makes me happy [01:20:14] well they do say if you work in engineering users should never know you exist :D [01:22:15] * Damianz wonders how hard it would be to make a generic proxy in puppet [01:23:45] I have a fairly generic one already make [01:23:46] *made [01:23:48] in nginx [01:24:01] look at protoproxy [01:24:16] it takes a hash as configuration [01:24:25] it's meant for ssl tunneling [01:24:40] hm. that's actually one way we could provide ssl for labs [01:24:51] we could get a *.wmflabs.org cert [01:24:58] and use that at the proxy service [01:25:16] I was thinking that the other day, it's the only secure way to do it [01:25:18] it would need to be separated, tough [01:25:22] *though [01:25:26] yeah [01:26:33] that's actually not terribly easy. [01:26:45] I was thinking a hash with that takes and and generates nginx configs and if hostname matches /.+\.wmflabs\.org/ auto support ssl or such. The thing I really dislike about that is there isn't a simple form someone can use to set stuff up and edit it. It has to be reviewed, done in puppet etc. [01:26:53] because we allow any service to use .wmflabs.org [01:27:15] Hm.. `/etc/wmflabs-instancename` isn't on all instances (I was using it in my dotfiles repo PS1). [01:27:19] Ah, $INSTANCENAME [01:27:21] wonderful [01:27:33] Krinkle: new instances don't have that problem [01:27:53] new instances' hostnames are the actual hostname, not i- [01:28:07] we'll switch the old ones over in the future [01:28:27] I suppose the default .bashrc will also be updated then? [01:28:35] (as it would no longer have to work around it) [01:28:45] doubt it [01:28:52] nah [01:28:56] we'll leave that there [01:28:57] it currently has a workaround in place that grabs it [01:29:01] wouldn't want to break people's stuff [01:29:12] I mean for new instances [01:29:42] but you're saying HOSTNAME and \h in PS1 will equal the instance name? [01:30:43] yeah [01:30:52] it already does on new instances [01:36:39] hmm you know what, I can do this bots crap with 1 template if I re-gigg the manifest for userweb [01:36:42] * Damianz notes todo tomorrow [01:46:15] http://i-000003a9.pmtpa.wmflabs/ is pretty sexy, shame about the dhcp spam [02:57:34] Damianz: If my name says 'afk' that means my laptop is closed, and if it doesn't say 'afk' that means my laptop is open. But of course this evening my laptop was open but I was miles away from it, so the system could use some refining. [02:57:45] I also keep semi-normal 9-5 CST hours, if that helps :) [02:58:28] We could tag you with a gps becon and plot your movements on OSM to solve this issue. [02:59:35] Oh hey you're only like -5 rather than -7, awesome [02:59:38] Well, you'd need a beacon on me /and/ on my laptop, because the interesting thing is the delta. [03:00:55] Also, the andrewbogott_afk means that conversation is logged and I get beeped when I come back if you talk to/about me [03:03:04] Dunno, I've had to fix a server using ssh from my phone before... that was annoyingly slow. [03:06:42] * Damianz should stop looking at skills courses or this is going to get expensive =/ [03:18:26] * Hazard-SJ sighs [03:19:09] For SSH I should use bastion.wmflabs.org as the host name and 22 as the port, right? [03:27:12] Hydriz? [03:27:24] yes? [03:27:36] For SSH I should use bastion.wmflabs.org as the host name and 22 as the port, right? [03:28:13] yes. :) [03:28:21] usually you don't have to define the port [03:28:42] Hydriz: But I'm having a problem logging on :( [03:28:59] here to help, tell me what you are getting [03:30:05] No, let me rephrase that: Tell me the error that outputs when you SSH in [03:30:49] 10/05/2012 - 03:30:49 - Creating a project directory for stackfarm [03:30:50] 10/05/2012 - 03:30:49 - Created a home directory for hydriz in project(s): stackfarm [03:30:53] When it says "login as: ", I enter "hazard-sj", then a message pops up saying "Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available" [03:31:03] oo [03:31:12] that looks like something different I have seen [03:31:57] have you tried Googling that?

[10:02:38] It needs _alot_ of configuring and fixing before you can use it for other wikifarms [10:03:15] ...and its magic on how MWVersion (the multiversion script) can be called to CommonSettings.php without other touches. [10:04:20] Imo a large chunk of that config should be handled in puppet and deployed as configs under puppet rather than the weird rsync/nfs/symlink/thing that happens currently but that's probably not going to happen :) [10:05:42] hmm, how do you find the source file for this page: http://jojwq.jqiodwq.beta.wmflabs.org/?

[15:38:27] Are you the person for asking about labs-repos in Gerrit? [15:39:39] Or do I have to ask the Labs admins? [15:41:00] <^demon> I can do it. Is there a request on-wiki yet? [15:41:26] Yes: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/New_repositories/Requests [15:44:26] <^demon> Created. [15:44:58] Thank you, I didn't know if there is a seperate process for these repis [15:47:46] <^demon> No, it's all the same process. [16:01:50] I need a test process that forces the WM install to recreate the admin user and password. I would've thought that deleting the mediawiki database would do that, but it seems not... [16:01:54] Anyone have other ideas? [16:11:34] The admin user is only created when you install MW [16:13:11] andrewbogott:The method is Installer::createSysop() [16:13:59] Jan_Luca: Hm… I see that my question was phrased backwards. What I want is to clear the existing user and password, so that when I rerun mwinstall it recreates it. [16:14:35] Do you mean install.php? [16:14:35] <^demon> Delete the entry from the `user` table [16:15:06] Do you mean running install.php again? [16:15:47] yep. [16:16:00] Which file does the 'user' table live in? [16:16:12] The user table is in MySQL [16:16:30] in the wiki database [16:17:00] When you run install.php again it should create the user again [16:17:22] Hm, clobbering the wiki database didn't help. I must be doing some other dumb thing :( [16:18:18] What install.php command did you run? [16:20:27] I am running /srv/mediawiki/maintenance/install.php testwiki admin --dbname testwiki --dbuser root --pass bananas --server $mwserver --scriptpath '/srv/mediawiki' --confpath '/srv/mediawiki/orig/' [16:20:37] Which would make me think the password is 'bananas' but it seems not [16:22:47] And the script's output said that there are no problems [16:23:04] I think so… running it via puppet so, many levels of abstraction [16:23:28] OK, well, this time I removed the record by hand rather than wiping out the db file, and the behavior is more reasonable. [16:23:35] So, I don't know what that's about, but can move ahead now :) [16:24:17] What I /really/ want is to have the password in the db not encrypted so I can see exactly what's happening. That would probably involve excessive hacking though. [16:25:46] You could add a command in Installer::createSysop() to output the password that goes to db into a file [16:27:12] Yeah, that's probably the next step. [16:27:19] What I'm /really/ trying to do is this: [16:27:28] /srv/mediawiki/maintenance/install.php testwiki admin --dbname testwiki --dbuser root --pass `cat /srv/mediawiki/orig/adminpass` --server $mwserver --scriptpath '/srv/mediawiki' --confpath '/srv/mediawiki/orig/' [16:27:41] Which is to say, setting up mediawiki whilst pulling the password out of a pre-existing file. [16:28:11] There's probably some quoting problem with that [16:28:52] Do not forget the quotes around `cat /srv/mediawiki/orig/adminpass` [16:32:24] hm… that gets me further but is still setting the password to an unknown mystery. [16:33:36] * andrewbogott will now learn enough php to write to a file [16:36:39] who can grant shell these days? [16:36:57] 05 02:21:56 < drdee> jeremyb: can you give the loginviashell right to user 'louisdang' in labs? [16:37:11] * jeremyb isn't 100% sure. i guess either sysop or cloudadmin [16:37:20] jeremyb: I can do it; one moment [16:37:36]
