Willing to learn though. Great, sounds like a plan! That’s definitely enough knowledge to get started. I will share the basic info about Hydra. We should discuss the details off-line and probably set up a (private?) mailing list to coordinate efforts. Thank you, Ludo’.

Excellent! We can discuss the details off-line, possibly with Andreas and Nikita, who have already suffe^W had the opportunity to help. :-) >> There’s also the problem that our current setup is fairly hackish. >> Having scripts to automate some of the tasks would be an >> improvement. > We can try setting up some kinda monitoring on the buildslaves which can > then send emails when problems arise. WDYT? Yes, that would be great. Also, I hope these can be the first machines to run the full GNU. For that, we’ll need service definitions for a few more things, notably Hydra, for the front-end. Thanks, Ludo’.

I'd be pretty interested in getting involved in the system admin. I have experience with scripting and general maintenance of debian based systems, but no specific experience of working with or administrating hydra. Willing to learn though. Let me know what you think — would understand if you're looking for someone with more specific experience. Best wishes, Alex

For the machine at TUM, the main issue currently is to get the networking issue that Christian identified sorted out. I was actually thinking of general Hydra administration. Occasionally machines may have troubles, like transient errors (networking, disk space, random build issues, etc.) requiring manual intervention, or occasional Hydra upgrades. There’s also the problem that our current setup is fairly hackish. Having scripts to automate some of the tasks would be an improvement. Thanks, Ludo’.
