(jokes) - discussion with [TEC] about his future roles in the club - [TEC] is still thinking about what he wants to do - [TEC] windows is the worst - [BOB] would putting you on sprocket and/or winadmin help you with what you want to do in the club? - [TEC] no, does not currently appeal to me - [BOB] ok - [SJH] are there any more clubroom-y people who could be considered for wheel membership - [TPG] the wheel purge thing isn't helping with the wheel gentrification issue - [SJH] we obviously need to wait more than a week before we add someone to wheel - mentions certain crazy individuals in the past ## Things from previous meeting - Consolidation of git repos - push murasoi:/etc/.git to gitlab - not done - push mooneye:/etc/.git to gitlab - not done - Call for volunteers to take care of firewall and DNS in git stuff - not done - [BOB] - would the above have helped us when murasoi had the dual disk failure? - [MSH] - yes because gitlab is backed up to mollitz New ACTION items: put etckeeper on everything, plus above action items - [TPG] volunteers to do murasoi - Fixing of AD setups - previous action item: [FVP] to update the ActiveDirectory wiki page - not done - sign us up to Techsoup/connectingup.org so we can get a new Windows server licence - done by [FVP] New action items: - ACTION: [FVP] to update the ActiveDirectory wiki page - ACTION: [FVP] Purchase a windows server licence - unsure is this can be done individually on connectingup.org - Windows Server Standard is $12? - to build a Windows server on spare hardware - [NTU] Demo: restore files from offsite? - Done in the last day! To note: - mollitz stores files as the backup user; ownership is kept in a separate file - use "rdiff-backup -r now" for restores ## General discussion - [NTU] we should make the things we do published/more public - publish things in git (eg firewall) - [MSH] - could let everyone log into the router but not any outgoing connections from it - to permit people to look at the firewall - [BOB] - !!!!!?????? - [MSH] - but that would make it depend on AD - [TEC] - this meeting is nice to put a face to names of people from discord - [MSH] - can you make etckeeper keep a single change log of everything on every server? - Email pings coming soon - Possible projects for new wheel/sprocket/winadmin members? - Ensure vendserver cannot be hung by an unresponsive MIFARE reader (PSU replaced 2019-06) - http://git.ucc.asn.au/?p=uccvend-vendserver.git - Reliable server startup after reboots and power outages - Recurring issue - As of 2019-06-21: - mussel doesn't start apache, freeradius, imapproxy - mooneye doesn't start mailman, postfix - samson AD didn't start correctly and required a kick ACTION: look into having these services automatically start (not starting when dependencies are unavailable, and stopping when necessary) - Lower power murasoi backup - sync firewall configs to an Edgerouter? with a 4G backup uplink? - [BOB]/[MSH] laugh [MSH]+[SJH] leave 20:08 - [BOB] - the only priority between now and the next wheel meeting is upgrading mooneye - all its hardware is 14 years old - lets use the R710 in the machine room - [BOB] also what do we want to do with the cisco server? - rumors of setting it up as a proxmox host? Note this would give us an even number of nodes on the cluster, leading to the possibility of split brain Meeting closed 20:23 - lack of wheel members present and we want to actually do stuff
