Anybody still using tarballs?
by Jonathan Druart 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

Hi, I am suggesting removing the tarball from our release process. I don't think anybody is using it anyway. It's extra work for RMaints, and it does not seem necessary. I am going to suggest removing the po files from the Koha src code starting from November releases, and that will require yet an extra (unnecessary?) step to embed the po files to generate the tarball. What do you think? Cheers, Jonathan

Using Elasticsearch in koha-testing-docker
by David Cook 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Hi all, I'm trying to use Elasticsearch in koha-testing-docker, and I would appreciate some assistance. Here's the steps I'm taking: 1. Launch koha-testing-docker 2. Update Koha's sysprefs a. Change SearchEngine from "Zebra" to "Elasticsearch" at http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/koha/admin/preferences.pl?op=search <http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/koha/admin/preferences.pl?op=search&searchfie ld=SearchEngine> &searchfield=SearchEngine 3. (Re)build Elasticsearch indexes: a. koha-elasticsearch --rebuild kohadev 4. Start Elasticsearch indexer: a. koha-es-indexer --start kohadev Is there anything else to do? In a prod install, do I just need to update the "elasticsearch" config in koha-conf.xml? Do I leave all the Zebra things running or can I turn those off? I recall reading somewhere that zebra_queue might fill up if I turn it off? Thanks all!

Last month before the release
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Hi all. We are almost done with the release, a couple medium/big things to push today/tomorrow and then bug fixing. I wanted to ask y'all to please view the Jenkins tasks status anytime after your stuff has been pushed. I know I said this many times, but some devs clearly break some tests that are trivially fixable and the team needs you to take care of your breakages. I'm doing my best to track things and fix, but you should all be worried about that. -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (https://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F

03 Nov '23

Hi, I'm trying to download a record using curl and GET /biblios/{biblio_id} With curl I try: curl -u user:Pwd --request GET 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/biblios/xxxx' --header "Content-Type: application/json" But the answer is: ["application\/json","application\/marcxml+xml","application\/marc-in-json","application\/marc","text\/plain"] not a json with the MARC21 data. What is the error ? Cheers Zeno Tajoli

Hi community :D I'm happy to propose for the role of Release Maintainer for 23.11. I see we are currently missing a Release Maintainer for 22.11 LTS. This is a very important role for our LTS proposition : https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Versioning#LTS_Releases Best regards, Le 18/10/2023 à 03:18, Tomas Cohen Arazi a écrit : > A new cycle is about to start.

Is koha-common.postinst restarting services in the correct order?
by Aleisha Amohia 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Hello everyone Curious what other people think here... We have set up koha-common to be upgraded using unattended upgrades. Whenever we do this, something happens to koha-worker and eventually worker-output.log fills up the disk. The only solution appears to be deleting the log file then restarting memcached and koha-common - but it would be good to avoid doing this if our packages get upgraded for us overnight. Keen on a discussion here! How do you manage this? Does koha-common.postinst need to be changed to restart services better or do we want to keep it as is so Koha administrators must restart services manually after koha-common is upgraded? -- *Aleisha Amohia (she/her)* Koha Technical Lead *Catalyst.Net Limited - Expert Open Source Solutions* *Catalyst.Net Ltd - a Catalyst IT group company* Tel: +64 4 803 2259 or +61 3 9116 2642 | www.catalyst.net.nz <http://www.catalyst.net.nz> Follow Catalyst Koha on Twitter <https://twitter.com/catalystkoha> | Subscribe to the Catalyst Koha newsletter <https://catalyst.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=62457ff5060d15ee3c07d3fc4&…> Catalyst Logo CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email is intended for the named recipients only.

Memory footprint of Koha processes
by Philippe Blouin 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Howdy! I'm trying to run a server with MANY koha instances (for educational purposes), but although the usage is very small, the resources required just make everything explode. background_jobs_worker.pl for instance uses 170M per instance, and plack uses 200M without anything being loaded. Any suggestion how this could be hacked (locally) to allow for 200 koha instances on a machine without requiring 100G of memory ? The object model seems at fault here, but I see no way to go around "use Koha::BackgroundJobs;" at the top of the script.

Elasticsearch issue in koha v22.05.06
by Amar Londhe 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

Hello, We've recently installed Koha (version 22.05.06) and are attempting to enable Elasticsearch for our system. However, we've encountered some difficulties during the configuration process. The problem arises when we attempt to rebuild or perform searches in the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog). The error message we encounter is as follows: $ export KOHA_CONF=/etc/pnvmkoha/koha-conf.xml $ export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/pnvmkoha/lib $ /usr/share/pnvmkoha/bin/search_tools/rebuild_elasticsearch.pl -v -d [NoNodes] ** No nodes are available: [localhost:9200], called from sub Search::Elasticsearch::Role::Client::Direct::ANON at /usr/share/koha_inst/lib/Koha/SearchEngine/Elasticsearch/Indexer.pm line 421.
