[edit]Zotero
[edit]- Marko: is there an ETA for when this can be used for Citoid in production
- Alex: we need to create a helm chart -- will likely have ready within the next 2 weeks
- Marko: do we need to add additional packages within the base nodejs10 image?
- Alex: if you have the packages you need and how they are installed then let's shoot for that.
- Marko: Can we redo base images and get zotero out in parallel? i.e. write helm charts first to get zotero out and then modify nodejs base image
- Alex: sure, but we need to ensure that they are trackable via debmonitor
- Marko: npm vs debian packages -- there may be problems -- service-runner, as it dockerizes services, it adds a list of packages
- Thcipriani: we allow you copy a file into the workspace before npm install
- to generate the dockerfile with the currently added npm packages: server.js --builddockerfile
- TODO: create task to talk about how to track and install additional npm packages for all services

[edit]- Q2 Goals posted (graphoid, blubberoid, zotero2)
- Saw we have a zotero2 repo (thanks Alex!) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/services/zotero
- I can get this setup of CI Soon™
- How does this mirror and in which direction?
- Doesn't. I just cloned from github and pushed to gerrit
- Does it need to mirror in some direction?
- Marko: no, we will need a build repo anyway
- Dan: could put this kind of thing in the base wikimedia image directly
- Marko: we do use this for every service, so putting this in the base image might make sense
- Alex: It sounds like we will need a standard set of things: repo in gerrit, .pipeline
- Thcipriani: we could mirror from upstream and keep .pipeline as a branch
- Alex: we're going to likely need to make patches on top of upstream that won't be accepted upstream likely -- example: swagger specs
- Marko: we could continue manually doing this work for a while, while we come up with a solution that fits
- Support a literal body for POST requests in `fetch_url`
- Could use a look -- tested with mathoid, retains existing functionality
