@eighthave:matrix.org_hc izzy: want to be an instance admin and set it up? 10:28:34
@freenode_izzy:matrix.org@freenode_izzy:matrix.org What else can I do? Sorry, but I'm already completely overloaded as it is. Once I get a new for-pay-project (which I urgently need and which hopefully happens soon) I cannot even tell how to keep up with what I'm doing now. 10:31:46
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcright now, this seems to be the only barrier to some f-droid work becoming a small paying project10:33:53
@freenode_moasda:matrix.org@freenode_moasda:matrix.org left the room.13:18:28
@freenode_bandali:matrix.org@freenode_bandali:matrix.org joined the room.17:11:39
@proletarius101:privacytools.ioproletarius101 (Old) joined the room.17:16:59
@proletarius101:privacytools.ioproletarius101 (Old) _hc: Hi, so I'm here on matrix to quickly check some facts 17:18:03
@proletarius101:privacytools.ioproletarius101 (Old)So you mean the f-droid.org doesn't have a VM-in-VM configuration?17:18:37
@freenode_bandali:matrix.org@freenode_bandali:matrix.orghello, jami developer here. is it possible to temporarily get some limited access to one of the fdroid build servers to look around and troubleshoot a failing build?17:38:58
@eighthave:matrix.org_hc bandali: yeah, we used to have a contributor instance but the hardware died. the whole build is automated with ansible, so if you have a KVM VM or bare metal to throw at it, you can run the ansible set 18:02:07
@eighthave:matrix.org_hc proletarius101: the release build infrastructure uses a buildserver VM on a bare metal host 18:02:54
@eighthave:matrix.org_hc the CI infra has a buildserver VM in a host that is a KVM guest 18:03:25
@tobiasgroza:matrix.orgTobiasGroza _hc: Our local NewPipe build has the same sha512 sum as yours from https://verification.f-droid.org/unsigned/org.schabi.newpipe_960.apk has the same sha512 sum 18:04:27
@tobiasgroza:matrix.orgTobiasGrozaI have no idea, why it is not signed18:04:44
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcwow18:04:44
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcdidn't know we could do that yet18:04:53
@freenode_bandali:matrix.org@freenode_bandali:matrix.org _hc, hmm i see. i've been having trouble setting up the fdroid build machinery locally by following https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Installing_the_Server_and_Repo_Tools/ and https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Build_Server_Setup, but i've never been able to complete it successfully and get things up and running with a libvirt-based setup 18:05:49
@freenode_bandali:matrix.org@freenode_bandali:matrix.org i'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what would be a relatively straightforward way of setting up a build server to try and reproduce the build issues 18:06:19
@eighthave:matrix.org_hc bandali: have you used ansible before? 18:06:33
@freenode_bandali:matrix.org@freenode_bandali:matrix.org_hc, i have indeed18:07:12
@eighthave:matrix.org_hchttps://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroid-bootstrap-buildserver18:07:55
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcgiven either Debian/buster or Debian/stretch in baremetal or a KVM VM, that will do the whole setup18:08:26
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcit does take a while, and needs >=8GB RAM and ~120 GB disk18:08:55
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcbut its been pretty automatic in my experience18:09:05
@freenode_bandali:matrix.org@freenode_bandali:matrix.org _hc, cool, thanks! i'll give that a shot. would it work on something like a linode vps, which i don't think has nested kvm? or is nested kvm pretty much mandatory? 18:10:03
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcnested KVM is mandatry18:10:20
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcthe other option is I give you root to a VM we have and you set up the contributor instance there18:10:36
@freenode_bandali:matrix.org@freenode_bandali:matrix.orgha, as in running the ansible playbook there? or is there more to it than that?18:12:33
@eighthave:matrix.org_hc bandali: that should be it 18:12:43
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcthe caveat being that we would give other fdroid people access18:13:10
