Just a suggestion ;)

- This is the first time it is mentioned in this mailing list.
It isn't the first time labs has been. I was suggesting labs, not the console. I was replying to Chad, and he has seen the console, so he likely understood what I meant perfectly well.
As someone who tested http://nova-controller.tesla.usability.wikimedia.org/ it was quite a shock to find it out in this way.
1b) Not even mentioned in the Server Admin Log.
Meh. I don't log every single thing I do. It's in the git log for the puppet repo, at minimum.
Is this is the way we publish things now? As git logs? :)
- It has a funny concept of "you have an account"
In what way? I'm giving out accounts to people slowly, over time. It's in kind of closed beta mode right now. Basically, if you ask for an account, you get one.
If the user is not in Special:ListUsers, which kind of user is it? I guess it should have been developers "can get an account by poking Ryan"
- Public IPs are private
This is the way that OpenStack Nova works. If a public IP hasn't been assigned to the instance yet, then the private IP is also considered the public IP. bastion.wmflabs.org, for instance has a legitimate public IP, with a legitimate public DNS entry.
Last week, I didn't know there was such server (in fact, it seems to have been launched _after_ I sent that mail). *If* you have an account on labsconsole.wikimedia.org, *and* you go to https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NovaAddress *and* you know what a bastion host is, then you may figure it out.
Note that my first attempt was to try creating a ssh tunnel through gerrit.wikimedia.org
- Instances don't seem to be on wmf dns, despite statements of "ssh
<nameofinstance>" and "adding wmflabs domain in DNS"
That is not true. I'm running powerdns on virt1.wikimedia.org with an LDAP backend.
All instances are in DNS when they are created, automatically. That is private DNS, though. Instance "test" would be "test.pmtpa.wmflabs". It's possible to SSH from a bastion host to all private hosts.
It turns out you registered wmflabs.org I had been trying things like foo.wmflabs.wikimedia.org or foo.wmflabs
- Reading the git instructions make me feel sick
Well, let's give you an account, and you can fix it.
By blanking the page? :)
- The RSA key (dc:e9:68:7b:99:1b:27:d0:f9:fd:ce:6a:2e:bf:92:e1?) is not
listed
RSA key for what? Why would it need to be listed anywhere? Maybe listing the RSA keys for hosts with public IPs is a good idea...
For gerrit, which is everything i could connect to. It is shown on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#settings,ssh-keys though, so you can take it out.
- Why is there a unicorn ?
Because this is the place for magic to happen.
- Ryan
/me waits for the magic to happen...
So far, it still doesn't seem useful.
