WTF
A regular meetup of people interested in DevOps.
DevOps is kind of a new sysadmin buzzword for ways to close the gap between software development and operations; it's what happens when agile development spreads to the server room. We meet to discuss culture, processes, tools and trends that contribute to this field.
DevOps — slides from introductory lightning talk at Metaday #36
There is a mailing list for announcements and discussions, and an experimental meetup.com page.
Next meetup
Tue., 2013-03-18, 19:00, Metalab Library
Agenda
Presentation/topic propositions for future
If you have something to present, discuss, show, or ask around about, but don't want to commit to a date yet – here's the place to do it. If you want to hear about something specific, add it here too - maybe there's someone here who can tell about it.

- Continuous Integration Packaging with FPM -- japhy
- Code snippets with comments for the build system: https://gist.github.com/2823575
- Vagrant, a convenient command-line tool for running VirtualBox virtual machines (VMs): http://vagrantup.com/
- FPM (Effing Package Management), the main actor: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/
- Buildbot, the continuous integration server: http://trac.buildbot.net/ (alternative for open source, Travis CI: http://travis-ci.org/)
- Articles about setting up Buildbot by Jacob Kaplan-Moss, creator of Django:
- Runit, a sane reimplementation of Dan J. Bernstein's daemontools under BSD-like license. A tool for managing long-running services (I'd say "daemons", but they don't daemonize – they are managed by runit when running in the foreground): http://smarden.org/runit/
- LXC - Linux Containers, a lightweight userspace virtualization for Linux (may be used for real clean builds or for testing the packages): http://lxc.sourceforge.net/
- The Debian Policy Manual: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/index.html#contents
FPM is a command-line tool that converts between different package formats (from: local directory, ruby gem, php pear, python module, node.js npm package, deb, rpm; to: local directory, deb, rpm, solaris, tar). The "local directory" pseudo-format allows for easy creation of quick-and-dirty packages that Just Work, short-circuiting all the layers from the Debian Policy Manual all the way up to dh_make with one quick script call. FPM doesn't care about actually building your stuff (as in: unpacking, configuring, compiling, etc). It just takes directory you put it into, and turns it into a package. To prepare the compiled files and put them in the right place first is your job. So is specifying the dependencies - there are no automatic dependencies on dynamically linked libraries.
Workflow for the continuous integration using bits & pieces from the gist:
- On developer's workstation, "vagrant up" command brings up new VirtualBox VM with clean Debian and sets up a clone of the "packages" repository with a local branch
- "vagrant ssh" to the VM, go to the packages repo, prepare or modify new package, test it
- "git push" from the VM to the "develop" branch on the host server
- "git pull . develop" on the host server's master branch to merge
- "git push" to central git repo
- buildbot (continuous integration server) picks up the commit
- buildbot builds changed package and adds it to the apt repo
- new package is available to clients via apt-get within minutes from the push.
