MVP Dev Meeting 2025-02-12 @10:00 ​ Present: Björn, Eric, Valentin, Gheorghe, Kevin, Lois, Ronny, Kiara

TODO

  • @Bjorn/@RonnyAsk Robert & Nicolas about current state of affairs of the components below on and below NixOPS4 since there might be more available than we think
  • DNS is unclear. Update Spoke with Koen about this. There is a redundant DNS available for development. More info soon.
  • @Bjorn: Need to create a List of definitions / glossary
  • @Bjorn/@Ronny: Adjust names (Nix => Fediversity)

User stories discussion

Operator: the person who is managing the system / users. Need to define more clearly.

  • Panel incl. API / Central database

    • Team working on this: Lois, Kevin, Kiara (tech lead)
    • Python app (Django)
    • Independent from NixOS for now (will package this later)
      • Note from Valentin: This will be extremely brittle, and we will aquire notable tech debt that needs to be resolved in order to make it reusable by different providers
    • First prove the idea, than make it better. We have to be aware of the risk, but we also need to accept some risks.

  • NixOps4 <--> Central Database

    • Team working on this: Kiara (glue code) (Robert NixOps4)
    • Glue code talking JSON with NixOps and whatever we specify as an API with NixPanel
    • Can be written in any language

  • NixOps4

    • Robert is responsible for this part

  • Identity Management

    • Out of scope for the MVP
    • Use the Django included options for now

  • Central services (Help needed from Procolix)

    • DNS (Hans?)
      • Blocker: DNS is a great unknown
      • Need an API to create DNS entries
        • Kevin: Currently using PowerDNS, which has an API
        • Bjorn: Can we use that for the MVP or will that mess with production?
          • Kevin: Hans would be the person to ask
      • Ronny: Koen said it might be easy to spin up another instance for PowerDNS. Development DNS setup is a requirement.
    • Email (Hans?)
      • Need to have a development setup
    • Storage
      • is it working? (Niols?)
      • can it talk to the orchestrator? (Robert)
      • Garage is working (not supposed to be deployed automatically; is a given just like DNS/Email/Hardware/Virtualisation Provider (Proxmox))

  • Virtualisation

    • Creating VM's in Proxmox is out of scope for the MVP.
    • Assumption: VM's with NixOS (+ their root SSH keys) are existing already for the Hello World
    • Need to have enough VM's available (help from ProcoliX) & these need to be provisioned manually
    • NixOps just sends the config and let's NixOS do its thing
    • Package a Fediverse service (Mastodon/PeerTube/Pixelfed) this is what Nicolas has been working on.

Next meeting
