Google Compute Engine Fedora Images (status update)
by Vaidas Jablonskis 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi People, I am pretty new to contributing to Fedora, especially the cloud group. I have mentioned a few times on IRC (nickname: zooz) that I have started working on GCE cloud image. So I thought I will give you an update on my progress so other people can jump in or help me to figure out the process. So far so good, GCE image does not seem to look much different that already existing OpenStack/EC2 images. - kickstart files for appliance-creator: https://github.com/vaijab/fedora-gce-image - gcimagebundle spec/srpm/copr: https://github.com/vaijab/gcimagebundle-rpm - google-compute-daemon spec/srpm/copr: https://github.com/vaijab/google-compute-daemon-rpm I understand that you guys might not want to use google provided daemons for managing ssh keys, users and forwarded IP addresses, but I thought I will package it up just in case. Current blockers: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055181 but they accepted my patch and it's been submitted to updates-testing, so it should be fine soon. So with what I currently have, I am able to build an image without any issues which runs on GCE perfectly. If anyone could have a quick poke at my RPM spec files and let me know if there are any major issues with them before I submit them for a review for the first time :-) Also if anyone wants to sponsor my fedora packager membership I'd really appreciate that. So what are the next steps? How do we actually start a process of getting appliance KS files upstream? Any pointers and feedback is welcome. If anyone wants to jump in and help - please do so! Thanks, Vaidas -- Vaidas Jablonskis

Cloud SIG grou Todo list
by Matthew Miller 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

People keep asking me what they can do to help. This is awesome, but I feel like sometimes my answers are too wide open. Plus, I think we could benefit from some more overall planning anyway. I threw this together... about 5 minutes of effort total so far. I will expand further, but really I don't want this to be _my_ list... it should be _our_ list (Cloud WG members and the whole cloud SIG) -- basically, the things that we want or need to get done. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud/Cloud_ToDo Possibly it would be useful to separate ongoing work from one-time work, and prioritize a bit. But initially, I wanted to just start getting things on (virtual) paper. Feel free to pitch in! What's there right now is literally what I thought of off the top of my head to kind of get started. We should systematically go through the PRD and generate work areas and work items. And possibly, get people's names attached to some of them. :) -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

Using 'fedora' in a github organization name
by Sam Kottler 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

Greetings legal@, The Fedora cloud SIG has setup an organization called 'fedora-cloud' on GitHub for mirroring some dist-git repos in the hopes of getting more contributions. The question was asked on the cloud list (cc'ed) about whether we need to get usage approval for the Fedora name to use it in the organization name. fedora-infra has their own GitHub organization so there is at least some precedence here. Do we need to get board approval for usage of 'fedora' in our GitHub org? Thanks for your help. -S

Re: fedora-cloud organization on GitHub

Hi, I discussed with the infra team about using github for packaging and what alternatives do we have. Few points: * rel-eng insisted that we won't ever connect our build system to external repositories * if we use mirroring to keep dist-git synchronized, it won't be supported by infra, but they won't forbid us if we use a github hook Steven Gallagher has offered us to integrate review board into dist-git. >From my POV, this is a fair proposal: * we gain an user-friendly peer-reviewing system * it will lower the entry barrier for new contributors Are you willing to give Steven's proposal a shot ? Since Fedora.next is still on its early stages, it's probably the good time to discuss about how we could improve our workflow, integrating a peer-reviewing system is definitively something i'd appreciate.

fedora-cloud organization on GitHub
by Lars Kellogg-Stedman 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

Hello all, The recent discussions regarding cloud-init -- here, and on centos-devel, and on irc, and elsewhere -- suggest that in some cases it would be nice to have package sources hosted in a common location that is more amendable to collaboration than the various "official" repositories. Sam Kottler and I have created the "Fedora Cloud" organization on GitHub: https://github.com/fedora-cloud ...and for starters we've put the cloud-init package sources here. Our hope is that by hosting package sources here, we'll be able to take advantage of things like pull requests to make it easier for people to suggest changes/fixes/etc. Cheers, -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars(a)redhat.com> | larsks @ irc Cloud Engineering / OpenStack | " " @ twitter

Using cloud image with Xen
by Eric V. Smith 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

This is likely the wrong place to ask this question, but it's the best I could come up with. I've searched high and low for an answer, but to no avail. If there's a better venue, please direct me there. I want to use one of the Fedora 20 images to run a VM on a locally installed Xen server. Dom0 is also Fedora 20. I've been trying to use virt-install. When I install the instance with: virt-install --graphics=none --name=test --ram=1024 --import --disk=Fedora-x86_64-20-20131211.1-sda.raw --network=bridge:br0 --debug I get: ... [Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:05:41 virt-install 10918] DEBUG (virt-install:664) Connecting to text console [Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:05:41 virt-install 10918] DEBUG (virt-install:574) Running: /usr/bin/virsh --connect xen:/// console 15 Connected to domain test Escape character is ^] error: internal error: cannot find character device (null) In /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-test.log I see: domid: 15 Warning: vlan 0 is not connected to host network -videoram option does not work with cirrus vga device model. Videoram set to 4M. /builddir/build/BUILD/xen-4.3.1/tools/qemu-xen-traditional/hw/xen_blktap.c:628: Init blktap pipes Could not open /var/run/tap/qemu-read-15 xs_read(): target get error. /local/domain/15/target. The bridge br0 exists. I've run a similar setup in Fedora 16, but there I created the image files myself with boxgrinder. I can do something similar here, but I'd rather just use the stock image. The instructions for the default cloud image all seem geared to EC2 or OpenStack. How can I find out what's required for using this image with Xen? I've tried --extra-args="console=ttyS0,115200", but it looks like that won't work for a local image file. But maybe I'm misunderstanding the error "--extra-args only work if specified with --location". Thanks for reading this far! -- Eric.
