|
|
|
* human-centric
|
|
* easy, automated, replication and migration to different datacenter provider
|
|
* blob storage replicated generically
|
|
* files on the exclusive filesystems replicated via application-aware process, e.g.:
|
|
* asynchronous, but "live" database replication
|
|
* shutdown app then rsync directories
|
|
* ZFS replication and snapshot-ing
|
|
* Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats awareness for all apps
|
|
* Not everything needs to start on Nix, NixOs, or with NixOps
|
|
* Do not use "Open Core"
|
|
* GitLab
|
|
* Dovcot
|
|
* Zimbra
|
|
* LXC containers (not Docker-style)
|
|
* zfs-snapshots + replicatie (send/receive)
|
|
* s3 replicatie naar 3rd party
|
|
* locatie-mirorring? (buiten scope?)
|
|
* (maar dan Linstore op zfs)

### Working session: Architecture discussion
|
|
|
|
Attendees: Robert, Valentin, Koen, Kevin
|
|
|
|
- Robert: NixOps should handle backup creation and restore, since it knows all the details for that
|
|
- There will be an interface to plug Nix expressions with scripts that can access all the resources
|
|
- Once should be able to build domain-specific applications around that
|
|
- Valentin: Backups seem to be morally equivalent to deployments "to a file"
|
|
- Koen walked us through myprotagio.nl
|
|
- Kevin will share source code with Valentin
|
|
- It's a role-based-permission and billing UI wrapping PowerDNS, Postfix Admin, and InvoiceNinja
|
|
- Written in Laravel and Tailwind
|
|
- To build a UI for deployment we'd primarily need a REST API to a database
|
|
- Primary work would be to do the architecture and design
|
|
- Valentin: Maybe we could add just the APIs for the deployment workflows from a completely new service, and connect the front-end to that
|
|
- Won't have to touch the PHP then
|
|
- But for the full integration to work one will have to understand the whole system anyway
|
|
- At that point one may as well keep maintaining it or rewrite it
|
|
- Koen: The existing thing needs work regardless, and would like to move away from PHP to Python anyway
|
|
|
|
## Architecture meeting
|
|
- Identitymanagement == AAA
|
|
- Central database is two databases, one accounting and one state
|
|
- Datamodel -> dns, aaa, ip, machines, etc.
|
|
- Data complete first, model later
|
|
- Data flows/processes
|
|
- Describe casestories
|
|
- Nixos -> VM
|
|
- LinuxOS out of scope
|
|
- Services and Fediservices one box
|
|
- move secretsmanagement
|
|
- move core-services to management
|
