Last week I resolved a few issues with the ansible role for haproxy, based on some feedback from @zas. haproxy has now been installed and configured on rudi using ansible.
I also helped @zas workaround some issues that cropped up when bootstrapping the new standalone server wolf, which was due to it only having a single NIC. This inspired me to implement some new functionality in the shorewall and shorewall6 roles, which meant we could signicantly simplify the Ansible firewall configuration.
Finally I also assisted @zas with some minor issues he encountered whilst switching over moroder to ansible. We now have a total of 7 servers that are managed using ansible, which is fantastic progress!

last week I mostly did code review and worked on schema change PRs
I updated https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/pull/2379 with the Amazon cover art removal schema changes, and started fixing the test failures in https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/pull/2434
though it requires tediously updating a lot of tag/genre test data under t/sql, so I didn’t finish fixing them yet
I also started work on MBS-12256 and fixed a small bug with annotation diffs (MBS-12272)

@alastairp

last week I worked with @rob and @lucifer on the metadata viewer/storage, I got data refreshing/updates working
I also helped a bit with wrangling some of @rob’s large sql queries and finding some edge cases with multiple recording artist credits
I fixed another bug in BU related to MB database access, and did some more CB reviews
I read Ansh’s SoC proposal and made some notes on it, and will write that feedback up for him today/tomorrow
I had some discussion with PrathameshG about his experiments with MLHD data, and also did bono->wolf migration

@akshaaatt

Last week I continued work on the revamp (LB, MB and Android)
LB is broken with the bootstrap upgrade on a branch and seems like we’ll have to fix individual components!
Making progress on that
MB looks good now that we have more things sorted
The Android app is on fire with loads of UI/UX updates! We’re preparing to have the BP on it soon
Other than that I spent more time debugging this time around

@reosarevok

I worked a bit on schema change tickets, released beta/prod, reviewed @akshaaatt’s code a bit
And helped fix a couple sir crashes (well, short term at least)
And helped @lucifer and @rob with a bunch of LB - MB issues
That’s the main bits

@zas

last week, I set up a new server (wolf)
I made significant progress on the new gateways front, on rudi, haproxy in front of multiple instances of openresty
it works, I’ll do performance tests this week
I just added clash to ansible (with few issues)
discourse was upgraded
apart that, usual supervision, upgrades, Picard PRs reviews

@mr_monkey

Last week I reviewed many PRs , thanks to all the new contributors !
I worked on mockups for the upcoming metadata viewer
Deployed the some adjustments to the youtube player in ListenBrainz to show videos while they are playing, and added required links to youtube and google ToS as per their request
Hopefully that’s the last leg to get their approval. sigh.
I investigated and fixed an issue with entity merging in BB
Welcomed and helped new contributors get set up, and touched up some GSoC projects and reviews
And finally messed with github deployment actions to allow deploying docker images for PRs
(from forks)

@rob

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/4979128/

@rob

I am the team member who needed help from the rest of the team last week.
fin.
just kidding.
but by the sounds of it, I made people busy last week. thanks for your help!
I worked on the mb_metadata_cache for the metadata viewer we’re creating. also background tasks as usual.
nothing to report that hasn’t already been reported.

@lucifer

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/4979138/

@lucifer

same here, mostly worked on mapping improvements with @rob, @alastairp and @reosarevok. took much time of the week but we were able to get lots of bugs fixed.

@Freso

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/4979142/

@Freso

The usual reports and skulking about.
I also removed the +r flag on this channel to hopefully help GSoC prospect to have a slightly lower barrier to entry (though people should still register with nickserv in case we need to put it back).
And I helped @reosarevok a bit with the wording of the new Gender property Style guideline.
Or revised guideline rather than new, I guess.
