• Jenkins Javadoc: Service Improvements

  Jenkins infrastructure is continuously improving. The latest service to get some attention and major improvement is the Jenkins javadoc. There were a number of issues affecting that service: Irregular updates - Developers wouldn’t find the latest java documentation because of inadequate update frequency.

• Update: Wiki and issue tracker outage

  I recently wrote about the two day outage of our wiki and issue tracker: While this was a rather lengthy outage, it could have been much worse. We lost none of the data, after all. OSUOSL have since published their post mortem. I was really wrong about not losing any data: A further complication was that our backups were pointed at mysql2, which...

• Wiki and issue tracker outage over the weekend

  As you may have noticed, our wiki and issue tracker were unavailable from Thursday to Sunday last week. What happened? We host parts of our infrastructure at the Open Source Lab at Oregon State (OSUOSL), including the databases for these two services. So far, there’s no post mortem by OSUOSL (they expect to post one later this week), so we need...

• Confluence migration this weekend

  + + For the past few weeks, I’ve burnt a lot of midnight oil to get Confluence containerized. The goal is to make Confluence upgrade more manageable and testable. In the process, I’ve not only containerized Confluence, but also containerized some other services, including mock LDAP server, to be able to test the copy of the production Confluence dataset against...

• Another big thank you to Rackspace

  As the Jenkins project grows, the need for our infrastructure has been growing. Our Jenkins-on-Jenkins needs more build agents, we need more servers to run our infrastructure services. And it was once again Rackspace who stepped up to the plate; they have kindly donated us more cloud servers. I also use Rackspace for one of my personal servers, and when I...
