09:33 paulderscheid[m] Morning #koha
09:33 paulderscheid[m] thd yes
09:36 thd pauldersheid[m]: I have subsequently discovered that the mailgate service we are using to send mail for the wiki and some other services does not attach DKIM signatures nor have a DMARC record.
09:38 thd pauldersheid[m]: I have been working on a Postfix mail relay to fix the problem.  The mailgate service may still be valuable for maintaining mail IP address reputation but mail needs to go first to another server which applies a DKIM signature.
09:39 thd pauldersheid[m]: I have things almost working now for docker-mailserver after starting with some simpler Postfix mail relays in Docker containers.
09:42 thd pauldersheid[m]: In the past two weeks there were two people for whom I had to set passwords manually on the command line because lack of DKIM directly from secure-mailgate was leading even a library mail system in one case to block the account confirmation email and not even leave it in spam.
09:43 thd s/set passwords/set wiki passwords/
09:45 thd pauldersheid[m]: Configuring a mail server on the host system is much easier than the supposedly user friendly interface to Postfix etc. provided by cotainerised mail servers with some mysterious options unique to the particular container.
09:46 thd s/particular container/particular container configuration design/
09:54 thd pauldersheid[m]: An hour ago I had mail relaying from a testing instance of the wiki to docker-mailserver providing a DKIM signature and then to secure-mailgate for sending.  However, my last setting change did the wrong thing and broke authentication from Dovecot in docker-mailserver becasuse ENABLE_SASLAUTHD=1 turns off Postfix SMTPD authentication provided by Dovecot over the Postfix smptd port, not the Dovecot port, for docker-mailserver.
09:59 thd pauldersheid[m]: docker-mailserver seems to have some nonstandard implementation of virtual mailboxes for them to be managed by Dovecot but not Postfix.

10:13 thd tcohen: Is that really you?
10:38 mtj hi cait, about now :)
10:39 mtj hi Joubu, will finish off bug 35614 now
10:39 huginn` Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=35614 major, P5 - low, ---, mtj, Passed QA , Update cpanfile for Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI v5.09
11:05 tcohen hola
11:05 thd hola
11:06 thd tcohen: Did you see my IRC message from late in the day yesterday about wiki backup completeness?
11:06 tcohen I haven't
11:07 thd tcohen: I may have discovered a deficiency with wiki backups.  The gzipped SQL file backup file included in srv.tar.gz posted to Nextcloud is only current for the wiki.test database which is necessarily not current content.  The backup in daily/srv/mariadb_10_6/mysql/mariadb_10_6_wiki.sql.gz has updated dates but despite the name of the file seems to be the wiki.test database.
11:07 thd tcohen: I was able to restore the database from the backup of /var/lib/docker/volumes from var_lib_docker_volumes.tar.gz but the current Gzipped SQL file in srv.tar.gz does not seem to include the current wiki database and may mistakenly have the wrong name.
11:07 tcohen is there a problem with the wiki?
11:07 tcohen I will check the backup scripts
11:08 thd No everything is more than fine with the wiki generally.
11:08 tcohen we put the backups on an external service
11:08 tcohen so I have doubts about what's in that 'daily' directory
11:08 tcohen but you might be right
11:08 tcohen let me check and come back to you
11:09 thd I looked closely at the backups in the wake of the wiki going down for several hours in what might have been hardware failure.
11:09 thd When the wiki was restored, nothing appeared to be lost.
11:11 thd Did the hosting company explain what had happened?  It seemed unlikely that even a daily snapshot would not have lost something in the interval.
11:14 thd tcohen: In other news, I have an improvement for mail services with DKIM signing on a Postfix relay then to secure-mailgate which does not do DKIM signing.
11:14 paulderscheid[m] When does the meeting start?
11:14 thd I believe in 45 min.
11:14 tcohen paulderscheid[m] I don't know, I just woke up
11:15 tcohen hehe
11:15 paulderscheid[m] maybe in 45 min, cait?
11:16 * thd has not slept for testing a Postfix relay service.
11:16 tcohen thd that sounds great
11:17 thd tcohen: I have the mail relay working in docker-mailserver.  Doing this directly on the host would be much easier but maybe docker-mailserver has some small portability advantage.
11:18 cait oh no
11:18 cait sorry
11:18 cait did i mess up the meeting time?
11:19 cait ah ok, in 40 minutes, phew
11:19 thd tcohen: I had to set passwords on the command line for a couple of new wiki users because without DKIM they never received an email confirmation message nor would they receive a reset password message.
11:20 paulderscheid[m] gcal says it's 2PM in our time
11:20 tcohen yeah, same problem with jenkins notifications
11:20 paulderscheid[m] our = europe/berlin
11:21 thd I was surprised to discover that secure-mailgate was not applying DKIM signatures but that is apparently not part of their service.
11:22 thd Mail sender IP reputation management is still important and difficult.
11:25 thd Some of my systems are blocked for delivering mail to current default Postfix instances because myVPS.hostingcompany.com does not have a DNS record matching my IP address even though my own domain for the IP address does.
11:27 thd There may be a correction for such problems but they are outside my control as the user of the  VPS.
11:32 * cait shakes her first at the yellow jenkins icon
11:33 cait mtj: did you see fridolin's email?
11:34 mtj hi cait, oops... just read it
11:39 tcohen someone said jenkins?
11:54 cait tcohen: I have a perlcirtic failure I don't ndertand on the left
11:54 cait D10
11:55 tcohen Joubu is it possible to make the commit hooks work within KTD without those 'docker not found' warnings?

13:07 domm[m] cait: Sorry, I was offline. But regarding mail/DKIM we're investigating this with the mail provider
13:16 puphaus[m] Hi together :) I just read about the security updates and wanted to tell that on the page for 22.11.16 update ( the https://koha-community.org/koh[…]2-11-16-released/ ) the securitybugs are not listed :)
13:22 magnuse gah, missed the meeting
13:22 magnuse is it possible to move a hold/reserve from one record to another in koha?
13:25 magnuse ah nm, bug 31698
13:25 huginn` Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=31698 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Add ability to move a hold to a new biblio/item
13:52 Joubu tcohen: "docker not found" - yes we can certainly remove the warning, but the tests won't run. You can still use --no-verify.
13:55 tcohen yeah, I was trying not to use --no-verify
13:57 Joubu then startup your docker container ;)
13:57 cait puphaus[m]: you can refer to the other release notes if they are listed there - they should all hve the same fixes
13:57 Joubu we could skip the tests if the container is not running, and display a nicer warning
14:03 lukeg joined #koha
14:04 Joubu fredericd: this is for you: 22.11 release notes do not contain sec bugs.
14:05 Joubu fredericd: 36244 for instance
14:05 Joubu The branch for this version of Koha and future bugfixes in this release
14:05 Joubu line is 22.11.x-security.
14:05 Joubu this also needs adjustement it seems ^
14:05 Joubu (too late for this time, but maybe it needs to be fixed in the release-tools script)
14:17 puphaus[m] cait: yeah i looked at the other versions but i thought it would be good if i would inform about that bug :)
14:17 cait true, I just wanted to provide you immediate help
14:20 puphaus[m] that's was really nice from you, thank you!
14:26 thd tcohen: I need to sleep now but I should be able to provide a non-messy set of config files for docker-mailserver acting as a mailserver which provides DKIM signatures before relaying them on to secure-mailgate.  The default has a large file of environment variables which we mostly do not need to set to a value but I do not know if excluding all the variable= with nothing after the '=' might break something.  Some of those environment variables
14:26 thd might need to be defined or set as having no value for which they have a default value as distinct from being unset or undefined which might produce a problem.
14:36 paulderscheid[m] So just to be clear. 22.11.16 contains the CSRF fixes?
14:36 cait not the big fixes that are in master, no
14:36 paulderscheid[m] Huh?
14:36 cait they are not to be backported, some smaller stuff has
14:37 cait the big patch set that we froze master for is not going to be backported
14:37 cait but it contains a lot of important security fixes anyway
14:38 paulderscheid[m] Ok
14:38 paulderscheid[m] That's good to know. I completely misunderstood the state then.
14:39 caroline joined #koha
14:39 paulderscheid[m] Thanks cait
14:42 fridolin joined #koha
14:46 domm[m] ups, I clicked on the mark-as-resolved button on the vue-discussion in the hackfest doc, and now the discussion is gone
14:46 domm[m] anybody knows how to undo that?
14:48 domm[m] ah, found it... sorry
15:00 aude_c[m] Hello, may I ask about Bug 20447 please... Has been signed off or has it not been signed off?! (Sorry for getting confused)
15:00 huginn` Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=20447 new feature, P5 - low, ---, ere.maijala, Needs Signoff , Add support for MARC holdings records
15:01 fridolin joined #koha
15:04 paulderscheid[m] Currently not signed off it seems.
15:06 paulderscheid[m] On the other hand all attachments seem to have been signed off.
15:08 aude_c[m] Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one for whom it looked confusing :D
15:09 aude_c[m] Also, paulderscheid while you're still here... Are any libraries you're working with using your Room Reservations plugin?
15:10 paulderscheid[m] Yes, like 5 or so
15:10 aude_c[m] Great. We have a library that may be interested!
15:10 paulderscheid[m] Cool, would love you folks getting involved :D
15:11 aude_c[m] (But we're making them wait until after their upgrade... So in a couple of months we'll know whether they still want to try it out.)
15:11 aude_c[m] Will let you know if they take it up!
15:11 aude_c[m] But if you have public examples they could look at, I'm sure they'd be grateful
15:13 paulderscheid[m] Yes, I will add a bit of stuff to the README
15:14 aude_c[m] Brilliant, thank you

23:40 mtj ...this would allow us to use jenkins to test new packages, without potentially breaking sandboxes and developer systems
