[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,
30 June:
Agenda

   - Need to test token sync from cloud.redhat.com, how can we get an
   account that can do this?
   - Splitting up the Remotes in pulp_ansible
   https://github.com/pulp/pulp_ansible/pull/326/files#r444237452
      - Could also handle this by checking for auth_url
      https://github.com/pulp/pulp_ansible/pull/326/files#r447210249
   - RPMs for galaxy_ng
      - From build team: “Is there a way you could produce a source release
      that contains everything needed for building? Maybe by modifying the
      ‘sdist’ command? Or creating an own (Python) distribution for
the UI code?”
   - On c.rh.c, each subscriber org will have a synclist and in the UI
   users can add/remove collections on the list. AH will then curate content
   from the ‘golden repo’ into the org repo based on the synclist.
      - How to initiate the sync process from golden -> org repo?
      - How to update all org repos when new certified collection version
      lands?
      - What performance issues need to be considered?
   - Next steps for the installer testing?
   - RBAC upate

   - Galaxy in one container:
      - https://github.com/pulp/pulp-oci-images/tree/master/pulp_galaxy_ng
      - https://pulpproject.org/pulp-in-one-container/
      - Can we add this to galaxy_ng CI?
      - Add to galaxy_ng docs for user consumption/testing
   - For pulp_ansible token auth, it was decided to not split the Remote
   - Content sync list
      - Task code that produces an org repository version
      - Inside task code run db queries that include all content from
      golden repo, subtracting denylist items. This can be done via Django ORM
      querysets.
      - Performance suggestions:
         - For synclist changes:
            - Could we use a periodic task as a way to batch the changes?
            - We could also possibly rev org repos when a local sync is
            initiated?
         - For content change in the golden repo:
            - kick-off n number of tasks where n is the number of org repos.
