09:20 <borneoa___> PaulFertser: hello! Jenkins is blocked since few days with message that it's going to shutdown. Can you please have a check? I can retrigger the jobs, after that.

11:13 <PaulFertser> borneoa___: sure

12:36 <PaulFertser> Sometimes Jenkins just stucks doing some meaningless I/O and proceeds working normally after restart. Currently busy chewing through the old queue.

12:41 <borneoa___> PaulFertser: thanks. I will wait it cleans the queue, then I will check if something is missing.

12:42 <Xogium> darn, you folks seem to have so much trouble with jenkins I'm unsure if I ever want to bother setting it up as CI over here...

12:51 <PaulFertser> Xogium: what are you options, gitlab workers?

12:51 <PaulFertser> "status:open -is:wip label:verified=0" should be the right query for "trigger manually"

12:53 <Xogium> PaulFertser: not sure yet, tbf. I've setup forgejo aka codeberg, and I was looking at CI setup

12:54 <Xogium> gitlab is *awful* for accessibility so it's pretty much out the window

12:56 <PaulFertser> Gitlab is probably awful with everything.

12:59 <Xogium> fair acessment I believe

13:13 <PaulFertser> Xogium: probably our Jenkins problems are mostly due to running on underpowered VPS.

13:15 <PaulFertser> Or probably I'm not the right person to make it behave

13:40 <Xogium> PaulFertser: oh. I see... Yeah, vps, Ouch. Poor thing :D

13:41 <Xogium> PaulFertser: I could at least give it a good shot on this new server we just got thanks to a promo, dual xeon e5-2680v2 cpus, 128 gb of ram, dual 1.6 tb sata ssd

13:42 <PaulFertser> That's nice specs

13:42 <Xogium> yeah

13:42 <Xogium> would have been $120 a month normally, but spring cleaning sale reduced it to a permanent $64 a month

13:45 <Xogium> they were also super awesome and got me ipmi access configured in serial over lan mode, so I can have a nice serial access to the server in case the network explodes, all without having to use an horrible applet that isn't accessible at all with a screen reader. Just had to mention that I was blind and they were like, gotcha, no worries

13:47 <PaulFertser> Serial over lan is the way! BTW, OpenBMC exposes that via dedicated ssh port without any ipmi silliness, such a nice feature.

13:47 <Xogium> ooh nice

13:47 <Xogium> maybe I could ping them about that software

13:50 <PaulFertser> It's up to server motherboard manufacturer to integrated, either it's there or not, alas.

13:50 <Xogium> aw, that's disapointing

13:50 <Xogium> yeah I don't think supermicro plays with that, at least not on older gen probably

13:55 <Xogium> so well migration was a bit hardcore but next one will be much easier hopefully, should there be a next one in future. I've stuffed all of my things inside systemd-nspawn containers. Just have to export a tarball of each container to back them up or migrate them somewhere else. I wish I had known all of this back when I had the first server :D

14:56 <Xogium> looks like forgejo has its own integrated action support, a bit like gh action... And that it can use stuff like podman. Oh my that looks messy. Can you imagine that, a container in a container doing CI jobs in a container ? :D
