2019-01-11 - System Operations and Management SIG Agenda & Notes

• We need a note taker today: Dale
• Welcome new members: Zeno Tajoli. Zeno started at @Cult Jan/7/2019. In the past, Zeno was a 'support guy' for many ILS (Aleph500, Koha, two specific Italian ILS) and on OPAC (Vufind). Zeno works on writing conversion tools and integration tools (LDAP and Shibboleth). He has also worked on server administration and monitoring. At @Cult, he needs to have a 360° view on Folio.
• Could someone who resides in the U.S. please send a calendar event from Mar 1 through Dec 20 (because of daylight saving time standards) ? Jason.

Providing better per-module documentation for things important to sys admins.

The need for additional metadata about each module. The group should enumerate its extra information that is needed.

Undertake documentation efforts - things that might be included in a standard. Set up documentation standards as the number of modules increases.

Implementors guide -  Architecture guide.

 Q4 is available.  The recommended minimum ram for the install is 24G. There are 42 modules in all. You still have to build the stripes bundle. Jason and Robbie have built it with Kubernetes. Here is the link to Jason's Kubernetes install: Folio on Kubernetes with Rancher 2.x . Discussion of tests that are available to see how your local system performs relative to Folio developer benchmarks. Here is a link to the documentation in the repo: https://github.com/folio-org/folio-perf-test . Jason suggests that better documentation be foregrounded for command-line settings to apply to Kubernetes install. Jason suggests that

• health check,
• command-line variables,
• ram requirements,
• storage requirements and
• port listening requirements

be documented. Discussion of where is the best place to publish generated documentation. Could be pushed to Docker hub and linked back to github.

There are still changes going into the Q4 release, which will be available on Monday. The Folio dev/opts will be working on a new development plaform for Q1 of this year. This will include a look at integrating Kubernetes.
