[xwiki-devs] Helm Chart Xwiki - GSOC'19
by Ashish Sharma 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hi everyone, Thanks for having me here About Me I am Ashish Sharma, selected as a student for Google Summer of Code. I am final year student enrolled in Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi. I am a resident of India. Profiles GitHub - https://github.com/ashish932/xwiki-helm-chart/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashish932/ Riot - @ashish932:matrix.org I will be presenting my project "Helm Chart for XWiki" to all of you. Following are the relevant details. Helm Chart for XWiki Mentors: Shubham Jain, Neha Gupta Technologies: Kubernetes, Docker, other if required Overview The proposed project is a helm chart that would deploy xwiki as highly available and reliable. It should be configurable with different databases(either a standalone database or a clustered one) that are configurable with xwiki. It would give the option to either configure solr externally (standalone or clustered) or managed within the container. It should deploy the app on a shared file system like a rook. It should support Istio virtual services, istio matrix, and istio distributed tracing and should be a secured system with RBAC and security credential rotation. The chart should be easily deployed on GKE and amazon EKS. Features -> Support for different Databases -> Choice between using an external database, a single node DB or a multi-cluster DB setup -> Support for shared file system -> Support for istio and it's services -> RBAC, SSL and other security methods If you have any features in mind that should be added please feel free to reply to this mail. Some Design Questions? -> Which Databases should be supported? -> As we have to detach solr out of the docker container(run it in an independent container) would be there a requirement for a code change, and we should approach it? -> Apart from solr is there any other stateful service that could or should be detached from the docker container? Here is my current repository which deploys XWiki for MySQL database using official XWiki docker container:- https://github.com/ashish932/xwiki-helm-chart/ Thank You Ashish Sharma

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] New wikimacro script binding
by Simon Urli 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Hi everyone, this is a proposal to add a new wikimacro script binding for the next release, that I also plan to backport on 11.3.x and 10.11.x branches. We had recently a bug report (https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-16520) about the WikiMacro parameter: types were introduce in 10.10 (with https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13282) but we in fact never converted them, making their type pretty useless. We provided a first fix to it actually broke at least one existing macro, AttachmentSelector which was still expecting String parameter values instead of the types used in some of those parameters. So even if the parameters were supposed to be typed since XWiki 10.10, in practice they never have been. We might as well consider returning a typed values as a regression since it might break some of the existing macros. That's why I propose to implement right now a new wikimacro binding, to be able to get both typed parameter values and string parameter values. The old binding would then still be available by using $xcontext.macro but we would deprecate its usage. I propose that all the existing $xcontext.macro information to be available by using $macro, and to be able to use: * $macro.parameters.foo to get a typed parameter value * $macro.parametersAsString.foo to get the string value parameter Could you tell me if you agree with all those changes?

[xwiki-devs] [Docker] Move to java11 or drop arm64v8 architecture support?
by Vincent Massol 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Hi guys, We have a decision to take re the docker image. Until now we were supporting the arm64v8 architecture. However due to some changes, it's now ony supported with java11. So we have 2 solutions for the tomcat base image to use: 1) stay on java8 and move to the adoptopenjdk base image (so that we get java patches) BUT drop support for arm64v8 architectures 2) move to java11 and move to the adoptopenjdk base image (so that we get java patches) and keep support for arm64v8 archietectures My POV is that we should do 1) since XWiki is supposed to run well on Java11 (it may even be faster on it?) and we want it to work on it anyway. We also test it with our docker tests every week Side note: we could also decide to move to java11 everywhere on our CI agents and keep some tests weekly on java8 (ie invert the current situation) WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
