00:13 tuxayo           +1 , major OSes having still old releases supported doesn't mean programs still have to support that. Things are less strict.
00:13 dcook            They're also "supported" in a way that I think isn't accessible to most users anyway.
00:14 dcook            I think it comes with added fees so I don't know if people actually buy that extra support or just say it's supported because there's a future date published on the internet..
00:15 dcook            Docker is available from RHEL 7+ anyway, so hopefully koha-docker will mature and then it's less of an issue after that
00:16 dcook            These days, if you're not running Debian/Ubuntu and want Koha, then I'd say the way to do it would be via Docker if you don't want to switch OSes
00:16 dcook            Easier said than done at the moment, but I think Tomas and folk are working on it
00:17 tuxayo           ""supported" in a way that I think isn't accessible to most users anyway. "
00:17 tuxayo           Aren't libraries or any public institutions have some chance of being Red Hat customers for stuff like Extended Life-cycle Support (ELS) ?
00:17 tuxayo           Still should be rare though.
00:20 tuxayo           "Docker is available from RHEL 7+ anyway, so hopefully koha-docker will mature and then it's less of an issue after that"
00:20 tuxayo           Indeed, it feel it would be easier to get sysadmins to manage a container of a recent OS than upgrade the OS running on the bare metal.
00:20 tuxayo           Even though it's still an OS to manage, update look for security issue. So I'm not sure if objectively there is much difference.
00:22 tuxayo           "if you're not running Debian/Ubuntu and want Koha, then I'd say the way to do it would be via Docker if you don't want to switch OSes"
00:22 tuxayo           Ah I see, it's objectively simpler to use containers if your bare metal OS it already running other stuff.
00:24 tuxayo           > Easier said than done at the moment, but I think Tomas and folk are working on it
00:24 tuxayo           dcook doesn't it work well to spin a Debian or Ubuntu container and follow the install instructions?
00:24 tuxayo           Unless it's about using docker like a packaging format instead of just light VMs
00:27 dcook            tuxayo: You have to be careful with your volumes if you don't want things to disappear when it comes time to update your container image
00:28 dcook            Managing containers comes with its own challenges I reckon. It's scarier to do updates since you're updating the whole thing instead of just a few files
00:32 tuxayo           That lessens the potential of containers helping for old OS installs. And convincing to use containers instead of switching the OS. Still a net gain I think.
00:33 dcook            Well if their sysadmins are doing the work. If someone experienced with Koha is doing it, I think it'll be fine (once the Koha community builds up its skills too)
00:33 dcook            But I do wonder...
00:33 dcook            It might be wise for Docker images to take over completely, so that everyone is deploying it the same way
00:34 dcook            I think the images would still be using Debian or Ubuntu and we'd still end up with custom Deb packages on custom images
00:34 dcook            But if that base infrastructure choice were shared across the board then it would be easier for everyone to support and collaborate...
00:48 tuxayo           > It might be wise for Docker images to take over completely
00:48 tuxayo           Hopefully there will be a viable fork if Microsoft does something predatory. In the vein of embrace, extend, and extinguish.
00:48 tuxayo           If they are subtile enough it will never be problematic enough to create the incentive of a fork to try to keep monopoly. And do things boiling frog style.
00:49 tuxayo           Hopefully there will never be a "business opportunity" to monetize docker and the sales at Azure will be enough as well as having devs not switching to Linux anymore due to having now most nice stuff on Windows.
00:50 dcook            There are already business opportunities for monetizing Docker and so far so good I think
00:50 dcook            Most of the core things should be open as well
00:51 dcook            Funny enough Red Hat's Podman is a drop-in replacement for Docker
00:51 dcook            I think Podman is actually supposed to be better than Docker. There have been times I've thought of trying it out
00:59 tuxayo           > Most of the core things should be open as well
00:59 tuxayo           There are non-core things that can become very prevalent and an obstacle if needing to migrate. Hopefully nothing like that get will prevalent in the industry.
00:59 tuxayo           Given there didn't seems to be mass migration from mongoDB and elasticsearch when they effectively became non libre as a whole, that looks like a real risk.
00:59 tuxayo           Good to know about Podman, thanks.
00:59 dcook            That's true. That is a worry that I have too
01:00 dcook            I think it's one reason why I haven't pushed to use Docker in prod beyond times where it's been the only choice
01:02 dcook            I'd forgotten that Kubernetes stopped using Docker a while ago. It can use Docker images which are just OCI images I think..
01:02 tuxayo           Maybe just using it as a light VM and for the propositioning using Ansible would make the thing pretty safe since it could be swapped with even LXD
01:03 tuxayo           Ah great no need to even give up on Kubernetes
01:03 dcook            Yeah lots of different tools for working with containers
01:04 tuxayo           (Assuming LXD and podman comply with OCI)
01:04 dcook            Can't speak to LXD but Podman does
01:05 dcook            What we call Docker images are really OCI images, and they're widely supported
01:05 dcook            So I think overall it'd be OK
01:06 dcook            Looks like LXD doesn't though
01:06 dcook            But I think if we need to jump ship then we do that when the time comes. Rolling with the punches... getting with the times... etc
01:09 tuxayo           > and for the propositioning using Ansible would make the thing pretty safe
01:09 tuxayo           Oh and that also avoids the issue of prebuild images. I'm not sure most production deployments of apps rebuild their images. It's another version of downloading and running binaries from the internet. Only without touching the host OS.
01:10 tuxayo           > Looks like LXD doesn't though
01:10 tuxayo           Oh :(
01:14 tuxayo           > if we need to jump ship then we do that when the time comes
01:14 tuxayo           It's not the same effort if having many hours of provisioning work coded in docker instead of Ansible. That's a choice for every project.
01:14 tuxayo           And on a wider scale, Podman has to exist and Kubernetes to support it. There needed to be enough people using (and continuing to use) and making these alternatives so everyone has those lifeboats if needed.
01:16 dcook            Yeah we got to keep our eyes and ears open
01:16 dcook            The work involved in making things work with Docker is generally useful work anyway
01:17 tuxayo           > we got to keep our eyes and ears open
01:17 tuxayo           speaking of that, I found this: https://katacontainers.io/
01:18 dcook            Yeah the name is familiar but I can't remember why
01:20 dcook            So I have this system that I run in a VM in prod, but locally I run it on Docker
01:20 dcook            And I've developed services for it that locally I'll run in separate containers
01:20 dcook            But they can easily run on the same VM too
01:21 tuxayo           > The work involved in making things work with Docker is generally useful work anyway
01:21 tuxayo           Indeed there is a lot. Though I wonder how hard it's to empty an existing dockerfile and to migrate the stuff to ansible, salt or something else.
01:21 dcook            By architecting it to work in containers, I just made it easy to manage its config and dependencies
01:21 tuxayo           nice :D
01:21 dcook            Ideally your Dockerfile shouldn't be that big
01:21 dcook            If it is, it should probably have more things put into scripts
01:22 tuxayo           Isn't declarative syntax better for a fair share of cases compared to scripts?
01:23 dcook            Depends on what you're trying/needing to do
01:23 dcook            https://gitlab.com/koha-community/docker/koha-docker/-/blob/master/Dockerfile?ref_type=heads
01:23 tuxayo           Wait, dockefile are more just like scripts than declarative stuff?
01:24 dcook            Ansible and Docker aren't really trying to solve the same problems
01:25 tuxayo           Right, it's more like scripts. I don't know why I had an idea closer to a declarative paradigm. Maybe because of the logic of destroying and building from scratch a clean thing that docker and ansible allow to do.
01:27 tuxayo           dcook: QA question, should we prefer to have default values in the constructor rather than in the function? When possible, like seemingly here:
01:27 tuxayo           https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=154680&action=diff
01:27 tuxayo           vs part of the changes could be here:
01:27 tuxayo           https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/commit/e26d7c783eb8c70d318e402e3a90930afcff44cd/C4/Patroncards/Patroncard.pm#L74
01:27 tuxayo           I don't know enough about which Perl good practices we should try to care about beyond our mandatory guidelines.
01:29 dcook            Yeah always a tough one eh
01:30 dcook            In theory, defaults in the constructor, but then Perl lets you mess with things, so sometimes it feels safer doing it in the function where no one else could mess with it
01:31 tcohen[m]        Constructor. And check+exceptions for bad ones
01:38 tuxayo           > In theory, defaults in the constructor
01:38 tuxayo           Good, same a other langs :)
01:38 tuxayo           *as
01:39 tuxayo           tcohen: hola :)
01:39 tuxayo           > Constructor
01:39 tuxayo           So in this case I should do a follow-up a continue the review.
01:39 tcohen[m]        We need to short circuit early if possible. On such deeply nested code as Koha's, tracking down where things come from is challenging.
01:39 tuxayo           "for bad ones" what do you mean?
01:40 tuxayo           s/a/and/
01:40 tcohen[m]        I should be sleeping so lacking some context. But yeah. Default where it makes sense, explode where it makes sense, so devs have tools to understand what they need to do
01:40 * dcook          thumbs up
01:40 dcook            Why are you're you sleeping, tcohen[m]?
01:41 dcook            aren't*
01:41 dcook            "Why are you not sleeping"*
01:41 dcook            Jeez maybe I should go back to bed...
01:41 tcohen[m]        Hi both. Interested in reading the containers talk tomorrow morning
01:41 * dcook          is always down to talk about containers
01:42 tcohen[m]        Good night!
01:42 dcook            night!
01:44 tuxayo           tcohen good night, thanks for passing by :)
01:54 tuxayo           dcook: thanks for the update on the world of containers ^^ And the QA advice. I'll make a follow-up for setting the default in the constructor. The rest of the changes seems to be using intermediate variables for calculations in various steps instead of a long one. + reuse of a value. So good stuff.
02:19 tuxayo           see you another day all :)

15:34 jalway           KodoKorkalo[m]: Have you run it through the MARC Validator in MARCEdit?
15:36 KodoKorkalo[m]   jalway nope, but I have validated the XML with libxml
15:37 KodoKorkalo[m]   jalway in addition we have a monsterous script that does all kinds of things to MARC data prior to import (including different checks and validation), but that doesn't seem to be the problem either and it works on my dev machine afterall ๐Ÿ˜„
15:38 jalway           Are your dev machine and production machines on the same version?
15:40 KodoKorkalo[m]   jalway yep, they seem to be
15:41 jalway           Are you using Unimarc?
15:41 KodoKorkalo[m]   jalway nope, MARC21
15:42 KodoKorkalo[m]   hmm... i think it might be one of out own patches that breaks it
15:43 KodoKorkalo[m]   the version on my dev-machine is pretty much clean community-koha without the "local" patches
15:45 jalway           That sounds like a place to start. I'm not seeing any bugs relating to bulkmarcimport in koha's bugzilla. Doesn't mean there isn't, but as you say it works in your dev environment.
15:45 KodoKorkalo[m]   yep, it must be one of our own patches, i'll talk to my collagues on monday about this
15:46 KodoKorkalo[m]   thanks for your help and time jalway ๐Ÿ™‚
15:46 KodoKorkalo[m]   and oleonard too
15:48 jalway           KodoKorkalo[m]: My pleasure!
