|
||||||
|
* TODO: update Pixelfed service to use an actual secret https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/Fediversity/issues/87
|
||||||
|
* Added an SSH public key and re-keyed
|
||||||
|
* Tried redeploying the VM to provide the newly added contributor with machine access
|
||||||
|
* TODO: check NixOps4 interfaces in a test https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/Fediversity/issues/90
|
||||||
|
* A machine was not available any more and NixOps4 broke for us after an update
|

* Workaround: https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/Fediversity/pulls/91
|
||||||
|
* TODO: https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/Fediversity/issues/90
|
||||||
|
* Adding cowsay to a VM
|
||||||
|
* Tested if it's already in the VM's environment: no
|
||||||
|
* Added it to the VM's config
|
||||||
|
* Ran into a code organisation issue that prevents the change as is
|
||||||
|
* TODO: https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/Fediversity/issues/93
|
||||||
|
* Had some trouble getting `nixops4` to run
|
||||||
|
* TODO: https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/Fediversity/issues/94
|
||||||
|
* For some reason NixOps4 is building Nix, takes a while
|
||||||
|
* Ran cowsay after a successful deployment
|
||||||
|
* Finished in 2:20h!
|
||||||
|
* Debrief:
|
||||||
|
* Koen: There were a lot of moving parts. Would like this to be more of a linear run-through guided by documentation.
|
||||||
|
* Eventually I want to be able to do this myself, I'm exactly the target audience of this tooling
|
||||||
|
* Target should be about 30 min to get from nothing to the deployment given solid Linux experience
|
||||||
|
* Kiara: Learned the overall flow, should be able to get there a lot faster on Monday
|
||||||
|
* I might be close to the target audience, but it's still very geared towards somewhat experienced Nix users
|
||||||
|
* Kevin:
|
||||||
|
* Most frustrating: Didn't know what I was doing, just following arbitrary-sounding instructions
|
||||||
|
* Surprisingly easy: Applying the configuration to the deployment just worked (although getting there was hard)
|
||||||
|
* What to change (assuming roadblocks removed): Nothing, seems about right. The problem were the roadblocks and lack of written sequential instructions
|
||||||
|
* Nicolas:
|
||||||
|
* Process felt painful; may be biased from having it working on my end.
|
||||||
|
* Documentation is pretty much lacking, this is the biggest issue; far from being content with the current state
|
||||||
|
* Part of it will be NixOps4 docs, part Nix docs
|
||||||
|
* Leaking errors from any of those will confuse users not intimately familiar with both
|
||||||
|
* Need to figure out how to factor those workflows in documentation; e.g. adding keys, factoring configurations are independent problems, can't put them in a meaningful sequence
|
||||||
|
* Valentin:
|
||||||
|
* Not surprised it took so long; the whole point was to reveal implicit assumptions
|
||||||
|
* Since this project is largely a big integrator, we probably have to (co-)own the UX for each of the underlying tools our users interact with
|
||||||
|
* Have to strike a balance with things we can fix upstream or where we have to paper over them with a custom wrapper/interface or documentation
|
||||||
|
* We should probably map the entire user story starting with essentially two bare machines (client and deployment target), and then work through and iterate on it until it's smooth
|
||||||
|
* Client: Freshly installed Debian machine with one user on it
|
||||||
|
* Server: Empty machine
|
||||||
|
* Decision: Do this once a week to derive tasks for the following days. Record the process and outcomes.
|
||||||
|
* Next week:
|
||||||
|
* Start with two fresh machines: Client (Debian) and server (empty)
|
||||||
|
* Install Nix and configure a user environment on the client
|
||||||
|
* Pull the Fediversity repo and create a minimal NixOS ISO
|
||||||
|
* Install NixOS with Proxmox-nix on the server:
|
||||||
|
* Boot the installer ISO
|
||||||
|
* Deploy to the machine via NixOps4 from a config in Fediversity repo
