+# DevOps Meeting Notes
+
+*Migrated from Notion*.
+
+## Agenda
+
+- Joe will grant Chris access to the netcup hosts.
+
+### NetKube status
+
+- **Rollout**
+  - [x] RBAC configuration and access granting
+  - [x] Most nodes are enrolled, Joe will re-check
+  - `turing`, `ritchie`, `lovelace` and `neumann` will be Kubernetes nodes
+  - `hopper` will be the storage server
+- **Storage drivers**
+  - Not needed, everything that needs persistent storage will run on hopper
+  - Netcup does not support storage resize
+  - We can download more RAM if we need it
+  - A couple of services still need volume mounts: Ghost, Grafana & Graphite
+- **Control plane high availability**
+  - Joe mentions that in the case the control plane dies, everything else will
+    die as well
+  - If the control plane in Germany dies, so will Johannes
+- **Early plans for migration**
+  - We can use the Ansible repository issues for a good schedule
+  - Hopper runs `nginx`
+  - Statement from Joe:
+    > “There is an nginx ingress running on every node in the cluster, okay,
+    > okay? We don’t, the way that’s, that’s as a service is a NodePort, right?
+    > So it has a normal IP, but the port will be like a random port in the range
+    > of the 30,000s. Remember that? Hold on. Is he writing rude nodes? And then…
+    > We have nginx, so this is where it’s like a little bit, like, not nice, I
+    > guess we just like, cronjob it, to pull the nodes, like, every minute or
+    > so, and then update the config if they change. But then it’s just like…
+    > nginx is like a catalogue of nodes. Wahhh, you drive me crazy.”
+    - "Nah, it makes sense!"
+      - "It does!"
+    - Joe will figure this out with assistance from his voices.
+
+### Open authentication
+
+- Joe and Johannes will check out OpenLDAP as a JumpCloud alternative starting
+  from this evening
+- Sofi has experience with OpenLDAP
+  
+
+## Sponsorship
+
+This meeting has been sponsored by Chris Hemsworth Lovering's relationship
+therapy company, "Love To Love By Lovering". You can sign up by sending a mail
+to [email protected].

+# DevOps Meeting Notes
+
+*Migrated from Notion*.
+
+## Agenda
+
+- One hour of gartic phone, for team spirit.
+- Created user accounts for Sofi and Hassan
+- Joe created an architecture diagram of the NGINX setup
+  - _This is still in Notion_
+- Joe explained his NGINX plans:
+  > “It’s not actually that hard, right? So you spawn 5 instances of nginx in a
+  > DaemonSet, because then one gets deployed to every node okay, following?
+  > Then we get NodePort, instead of LoadBalancers or whatever, which will get
+  > a random port allocatead in the 35000 range, and that will go to nginx, and
+  > on each of those ports, it will go to nginx, right? And then we poll the
+  > Kubernetes API and what is the port that each of these nginx instances is
+  > running on, and add that into a roundrobin on the fifth node. Right? Yeah.
+  > That’s correct. That won’t do TLS though, so that will just HAProxy. Yeah.”
+- Joe will terminate our JumpCloud account
+- Chris reset the Minecraft server
+- Email alerting needs to be configured

+*Migrated from Notion*.
+
+## Agenda
+
+*(This meeting was mostly about NetKube, with the following strange text
+included, and everything outside of the text has been removed since the NetKube
+plans have been scrapped)*.
+
+Joe Banks, after a month-long hiatus to become a dad to every second girl on
+uni campus, has managed to pull up to the DevOps meeting.
+
+We are considering using Kubespray (https://kubespray.io/#/) in order to deploy
+a production-ready bare-metal Kubernetes cluster without involvement from Joe
+“Busy With Poly Girlfriend #20” Banks.
+
+At the moment cluster networking is not working and Joe mentions that the last
+time he has touched it, it worked perfectly fine. However, the last time he
+touched it there was only 1 node, and therefore no inter-node communications.
+
+Joe thinks he remembers installing 3 nodes, however, we at the DevOps team
+believe this to be a marijuana dream

 ## Agenda
 
-- Potential slot for GPG key signing of DevOps members. External verification
-  will be necessary.
+- **Potential slot for GPG key signing of DevOps members**. External
+  verification will be necessary.
+
+- We need to assign a **librarian** to keep our documents organized according to
+  a system. Johannes is happy to do this for now.
+  - **Our Notion DevOps space is full of junk**. Outside of that, it's not open
+    to read for outside contributors, and does not leave much choice over which
+    client to use for editing content.
