Notes about Docker Swarm / Portainer and Koha
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

Hi all, for the 21.05 release, I proposed to launch the API docs site [1]. I did it on Theke's infrastructure for simplicity, but then started thinking how management could be handed to the community. This site is provided by a docker image [2] that is built on each change on the Koha community repository. This is triggered by webhooks. With the idea that this image should be deployed in production automatically, I deployed a Portainer service. Portainer would let us configure and deploy (dockerized) services in a fairly easy way, has an API, and also provides webhooks for triggering things like redeploying/updating (what I needed for api.koha-community.org) Right now this is running under Theke's umbrella, but my idea is to hand this to the community, especially those running the services we use. The short term plan would be to: 1. Have the following domains point to the server we are providing: - traefik.koha-community.org - portainer.koha-community.org - api.koha-community.org 2. Migrate Jenkins into this server/setup 3. Anyone running server for community purposes, can make them join this 'swarm' so we can use them. 4. There will be some community members with admin access to this, so we can all do maintenance tasks like restarting a service, etc. 5. Help is needed regarding backups and how we want to deal with that. We volunteer to help anyone running community sites migrate to this schema.

Hi, imho, Columns settings in circ/circulation.pl (while checking out) doesn't save columns chosen by the librarian. This behaviour is expected by my staff. Any opinion? Thx. Stefano

First big moves for 21.06 - early pushes
by Jonathan Druart 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

Hi devs, I'd like to see us focus on those bugs, good candidates for early push: Bug 17600 - Standardize the EXPORT Bug 27526 - Remove Mod/AddItemFromMarc from additem.pl (first step, more work needed in this area) Bug 17427 - Replace CGI::Session with Data::Session Bug 25078 - Update DB process - wrap each DBRev inside a transaction and better error handling (need it soon to prevent unnecessary work later when lot of DBrevs will exist in 21.06) I am going to provide an updated version for the last one, the others are ready for testing. Hoping to see some help there :) Cheers, Jonathan

The Perl and Raku Conference (In the Cloud)
by Thomas Klausner 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Hi! Today starts this years Perl and Raku Conference (still in the cloud, thanks to Corona): https://perlconference.us/tprc-2021-cloud/ As Koha is written in Perl, this event might interest a few of you. You can watch the live stream for free via YouTube, if you want to participate via Zoom and Slack you need to pay a 10$ fee. Here you can find the schedule (where you can also select your timezone): https://tprc2021cic.sched.com/ I'm doing a short talk on Koha on Thursday, but it's not going to be very technical. As a long time Perl dev I have only recently learned about Koha and it's big community, and want to introduce this project to the Perl community. Greetings, domm -- #!/usr/bin/perl https://domm.plix.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}

Re: [Koha-devel] Increasing Debian Package Compatibility Levels
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 07 Jun '21

Note that those warnings are from Debian Stretch. Since it's oldstable, it's probably still OK to be building on it. What OS do the Koha CI servers use?

We can see the changes between v7, 8, and 9 at https://manpages.debian.org/testing/debhelper/debhelper.7.en.html. At a glance, I think that we'd probably be OK moving up to 9 from 7. But we'd want to do some testing. David Cook Software Engineer Prosentient Systems Suite 7.03 6a Glen St Milsons Point NSW 2061 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595
