[arch-devops] Secondary backup ideas (Task #50)
by Phillip Smith 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

(Sorry, I can't reply to the original thread as I wasn't a member of the list at the time) Can I throw restic[0] in to the mix? It's very similar to borg, but super fast[1]. I moved away from borg a while ago for various reasons. It's written in golang, so it's a simple ELF executable to deploy. Supports lots of destinations[2] and multiple keys [3]. Specifically, I'm thinking the multiple key feature would allow us to have the client push backups to the backup server over a read-only connection (SSH, S3, rsync, whatever), then be able to run restic server-side to handle the cleanups. Anyway, 'food for thought' that we can discuss. Cheers, ~p [0] https://restic.net/ [1] My home desktop backup: ~121gb of source data on spinning-rust (not SSD); incremental backup takes ~8 seconds: scanned 11482 directories, 72707 files in 0:01 [0:07] 100.00% 13.298 GiB/s 121.249 GiB / 121.249 GiB 84189 / 84189 items 0 errors ETA 0:02 duration: 0:07, 15798.45MiB/s snapshot 8c4aea6d saved [2] https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html [3] https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/070_encryption.html

[arch-devops] archweb questions
by Ross Boulet 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Just a curiosity question. I posted a question [1] to the Arch Linux Forums regarding a function on the Arch website. Someone suggested I file a bug report, so the developers would be aware. But I looked at the "Projects in Git" [2] from the Arch Linux home page and did not see any recent updates to "archweb". I posted a question [3] in the arch-mirrors mailing list and was referred here. This leads me to a couple of questions: First, have I done all the reporting needed to get this issue to the proper place? Second, is the "archweb" in the git at [2] the same thing as the website, and if so, why didn't it show any updates? Thanks [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1781381 [2] https://git.archlinux.org/ [3] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-mirrors/2018-April/000736.html -- Ross Boulet rossb(a)rossb.com -

[arch-devops] Question Regarding Appstream Data
by Christopher Davis 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Hello arch-devops, I am curious about the files used by archlinux-appstream-data. My goal is to create a parabola-appstream-data for Parabola GNU/Linux-libre. According to some people in #parabola on Freenode, the files the PKGBUILD for archlinux-appstream-data are generated on your servers with appstream-generator. Could you provide some information on your setup for this? Regards, Chris

[arch-devops] Archweb upgrade to django to 1.11
by Jelle van der Waa 15 Apr '18

15 Apr '18

I've made a PR to update archweb to 1.11 the latest LTS version of django. [1] It's running on the staging env currently and no particular bugs have been found yet. Note that the staging env does not sync new packages, which I would love add soon (tm). [2] When this is merged, I'd like to deploy it as soon as possible on our production env. After this merge I want to focus on Python 3 / Django 2.0 although this is not a LTS release. (Python 3 alone should be enough work tbh). When would be a good time for an upgrade? Angvp / grazzolini please review the PR so it can be merged. [1] https://github.com/archlinux/archweb/pull/88 [2] https://archweb-dev.archlinux.org/ -- Jelle van der Waa
