minutes from the sysadmin meeting
by Antoine Beaupré 04 Nov '21

04 Nov '21

Hi! TPA had their weekly meeting, and here are its minutes. # Roll call: who's there and emergencies anarcat, kez, lavamind present. no emergencies. # "Star of the weeks" rotation anarcat has been the "star of the weeks" all of the last two months, how do we fix this process? We talked about a few options, namely having per-day schedules and per-week schedules. We settled on the latter because it gives us a longer "interrupt shield" and allows support to deal with a broader range, possibly more than short-term, set of issues. Let's set a schedule until the vacations: * Nov 1st, W45: lavamind * W46: kez * W47: anarcat * W48: lavamind * W49: kez * W50: etc So this week is lavamind, we need to remember to pass the buck at the end of the week. Let's talk about holidays at some point. We'll figure out what people have for a holiday and see if we can avoid overlapping holidays during the winter period. # Q4 roadmap review We did a quick review of the [quarterly roadmap][] to see if we're still on track to close our year! [quarterly roadmap]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/roadmap/2021#q4 We are clearly in a crunch: * Lavamind is prioritizing the blog launch because that's mid-november * Anarcat would love to finish the Jenkins retirement as well * Kez has been real busy with the year end campaign but hopes to complete the bridges rewrite by EOY as well There's also a lot of pressure on the GitLab infrastructure. So far we're throwing hardware at the problem but it will need a redesign at some point. See the [gitlab scaling ticket][] and [storage brainstorm][]. [storage brainstorm]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40478 [gitlab scaling ticket]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40479 # Dashboard triage We reviewed only this team dashboard, in a few minutes at the end of our meeting: * https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/boards/117 We didn't have time to process those: * https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/web/-/boards (still overflowing) * https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/tpa/-/boards (if time permits) # Other discussions The holidays discussion came up and should be addressed in the next meeting. # Next meeting First monday of the month in December is December 6th. Warning: 17:00UTC might mean a different time for you then, it then is equivalent to: 09:00 US/Pacific, 14:00 America/Montevideo, 12:00 US/Eastern, 18:00 Europe/Paris. # Metrics of the month * hosts in Puppet: 89, LDAP: 92, Prometheus exporters: 140 * number of Apache servers monitored: 27, hits per second: 161 * number of Nginx servers: 2, hits per second: 2, hit ratio: 0.81 * number of self-hosted nameservers: 6, mail servers: 8 * pending upgrades: 15, reboots: 0 * average load: 1.40, memory available: 3.52 TiB/4.47 TiB, running processes: 745 * bytes sent: 293.16 MB/s, received: 183.02 MB/s * [GitLab tickets][]: ? tickets including... * open: 0 * icebox: 133 * backlog: 22 * next: 5 * doing: 3 * needs information: 8 * (closed: 2484) [Gitlab tickets]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/boards Our backlog and `needs information` queues are at a record high since April, which confirms the crunch. -- Antoine Beaupré torproject.org system administration

emergency migration of all websites from Jenkins to GitLab CI
by Antoine Beaupré 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Hi! TL;DR: all websites hosted in Gitolite and built under Jenkins have been (or will shortly be) migrated to GitLab and GitLab CI. This was necessary to work around a difficult Jenkins issue and is in line with our Jenkins retirement roadmap. You may need to update Git remote URLs. # Why? This week we had some big problems with Jenkins which stopped building sites (#40495). In an optimistic mood, anarcat deployed a fix to jenkins that made the builds pass, but revealed another, more serious, issue: translation metadata showed up in the HTML output, garbling most of the lektor sites (#40501). We tried to fix the underlying issue (tpo/web/team#12) but so far failed and @hiro figured the "just right" combination of Python, Debian, And lektor to make the sites build. Major caveat: it worked only in GitLab CI. Because we had planned to move those sites to GitLab CI anyways, we embarked on a rush migration of all the sites. The goal of rushing this transition is to make sure the web folks can still push updates to websites, which was particularly sensitive during this time (year end campaign!) so it was prioritized over other work. Hopefully that goal should have been filled. The other goal, of course, was to continue the Jenkins retirement and we have now pushed past a major landmark in that larger milestone. # What? This is the current status of that migration: 1. 2021.www.torproject.org (tpo/web/team#13), to archive permanently 2. community.torproject.org (tpo/web/community#238), migrated 3. dev.torproject.org (tpo/web/dev#13), not migrated yet, not in production 4. donate.torproject.org (tpo/web/donate-static#54), migrated 5. gettor.torproject.org (tpo/web/gettor-web#2), migrated 6. newsletter.torproject.org (tpo/web/newsletter#22), next to migrate 7. styleguide.torproject.org (tpo/web/styleguide#17), migrated 8. support.torproject.org (tpo/web/support#272), migrated 9. tb-manual.torproject.org (tpo/web/manual#111), migrated 10. www.torproject.org (tpo/web/tpo#254), in progress, needs testing For those keeping count, that's 6 sites migrated out of 10, with only two "production" websites remaining to migrate. Also, because of access control restrictions, we have decided to also migrate the repositories from gitolite to GitLab. This was done mostly because not everyone in the incident team had access to the gitolite repo, and granting access to those repos would have taken too much time. All those repositories (except the translation repo, which still needs to be migrated, see tpo/tpa/team#40497) we already mirrored. If you are blocked on access, file a ticket with TPA and we'll make sure to expedite your request. You will get an error when trying to push to gitolite that tells you what the correct, new URL should be. # When? This happened between last night and today, and will hopefully complete by tomorrow, when the last websites will be migrated to GitLab CI. # Who? This was an awesome team effort: we collaborated over Big Blue Button for a few hours and accomplished a lot, with @anarcat, @hiro, @emmapeel, @lavamind, and @kez all contributing in an awesome team effort. # How? We hope this change won't be too disruptive and would be happy to hear your thoughts. -- Antoine Beaupré torproject.org system administration

Privacy is a human right - Tor fundraising campaign
by Al Smith 25 Oct '21

25 Oct '21

Hello Tor world! We have just launched the Tor Project’s annual year-end fundraising campaign! This year, our theme is simple: Privacy is a Human Right. You can see the campaign live on https://torproject.org and https://donate.torproject.org. You’ll also see campaign graphics on about:tor when you update Tor Browser. With this campaign comes new swag and an opportunity to support Tor and its power to help people everywhere exercise their human right to privacy. Plus, every donation to the Tor Project during this campaign will be matched, 1:1, by the Friends of Tor, up to $150,000. That means your contributions are doubled! Read more about the campaign and Friends of Tor here: https://blog.torproject.org/privacy-is-a-human-right Be on the lookout for events, giveaways, and new merch available from now until December 31. And be sure to check out https://donate.torproject.org for the new t-shirt and hoodie designs, because personally, they are some of my favorite so far. You can help the success of our campaign by making a donation, sharing this message, or amplifying what the Tor Project’s account does on Twitter / Mastodon / Instagram / LinkedIn / Facebook. Sharing makes a huge impact! Thanks for your support. I look forward to hearing what you think about the campaign!

PSA: fpcentral / forrestii retirement notice
by Matthew Finkel 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

Hello! The service "fpcentral" (https://fpcentral.tbb.torproject.org/) will be retired on October 20th 2021 (6 months from now), along with the server it is running on (forrestii). We do not have the resources to maintain the service. Besides, other, and better alternatives have emerged since then, like, for example the EFF's Cover Your Tracks service (https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/, previously known as the Panopticlick) and TorZillaPrint (https://arkenfox.github.io/TZP/) On the retirement date, the server will be shutdown, rendering the service completely unavailable. A week later, the server will be destroyed, and its backups will be destroyed 30 days after the retirement date. The Internet Archive has an up to date copy of the site's static assets and will be able to keep it for posterity. It is recommended that you fix any bookmarks, links, or other references you have to this site. If you have concerns about the retirement or wish to delay the procedure, you can add a comment to the tracking issue (https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40009) or contact TPA: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/policy/tpa-rfc-2-support…
