[Galaxy-ng] Galaxy/Pulp Check-In Meeting Minutes

[Chris Houseknecht]

Hey all!

Each week engineers from the Galaxy and Pulp teams meet for an hour to
discuss any issues related to the ongoing integration of Pulp Core and Pulp
Plugins into the GalaxyNG codebase <https://github.com/ansible/galaxy_ng>.
We're working together to turn the GalaxyNG project (the code that powers
Automation Hub at cloud.redhat.com) into an installable, on-premise Galaxy
capable of hosting Community, Red Hat Certified, and private Ansible
content.

The following is a summary of our last meeting, which occurred on Tuesday,
2 June:

Agenda Items

   -

   Proposal:
   -

      make galaxy-ng mailing list self-subscribe
      -

      public archives
      -

      Send minutes from this meeting to the list after each meeting
      (copy-paste-send)
      -

   Switch to single-container or continue with the existing docker
   environment?
   -

   Should the pulp installer support dev installs?
   -

   RPMs?
   -

      https://pulp.plan.io/issues/6793
      -

   Pulp Container release beta going out this week( will contain “push”
   APIs)
   -

   Discuss some issues realted to the current generated openapi
   -

   How to handle API access for standalone if all tokens are for admin?
   (alikins)
   -

   Socializing idea of adding static metadata content to “published” galaxy
   content (ala, yum, deb, maven, etc). And potentially using ContentGuards
   for access control in lieu of having to do API. (alikins)

Notes

   -

   RBAC update - https://hackmd.io/kZ1oYp8TTkeuC5KL_ffjGQ
   <https://meet.google.com/linkredirect?authuser=1&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fhackmd.io%2FkZ1oYp8TTkeuC5KL_ffjGQ>
   -

      POC in progress
      -

      Seeking feedback once it’s ready (hopefully EOW)
      -

   Switch to a single container? - No, Galaxy team will continue using
   their Docker dev environment.
   -

   Should the Pulp installer support Dev installs?
   -

      Yes, the Pulp installer should support source checkout installs
      -

      Needs to support UI copy and build steps
      -

      -

   Pulp Container
   -

      Pulp_container beta dropping this week
      -

      Need it in AH for the end-user install to consume
      -

      Alex and Brian will update the pulp_container version in AH
      -

   Pulp generated OpenAPI
   -

      [alikins] will review with the Pulp Dev team
      -

      There needs to be a move to v3 schema generation
      -

   Tokens
   -

      Need RBAC to be in a consumable place, so we can start working with
      it in GalaxyNG
      -

   Serving static metadata content and potentially using ContentGuards for
   access control
   -

      Makes sense from a conceptual perspective
      -

      Makes it possible to distribute repositories via import/export. Could
      be a solution, maybe, for the disconnected use case.
      -

      If we’re going to serve static metadata to the client, it conflicts
      with existing GalaxyNG API, and would require a lot of re-work.
      -

      Needs a proposal
      -

         Use case(s)
         -

         Technical details and scope of work
         -

         Cost / Benefit justification


Action Items

   -

   [bmbouter] make mailing list self-subscribe and turn on archives
   -

   -

Our next meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, 9 June at 11:30 AM Eastern. If

Thanks!
