Hi folks,

We held our regular design meeting today via Hangout. Summary of brief discussion:

# 11th September 2019

# Reducing the privilege of lava-slave [Antonio]

It’s more or less ok that lava-run requires being run as root. But can we run lava-slave as non-root?

Lava-slave needs to cleanup after lava-run if something goes wrong, so there might be stuff owned by root left over and this needs to be handled.

Otherwise it’s `go for it`.

# Replacing LXC with docker [Antonio]

How exactly do we want to do that: See https://git.lavasoftware.org/lava/lava/issues/305 and https://git.lavasoftware.org/lava/lava/issues/286

The goal is to: * simplify the job definition (see the job definition in https://git.lavasoftware.org/lava/lava/issues/305) * allow to use user provided docker container to run adb

# Job level privileges [milosz]

How does that work compared to device and device-type level privileges?

See https://git.lavasoftware.org/lava/lava/merge_requests/693 for more documentation

The job level permission are still applied, but the device-type and device permissions are also applied (was not the case before).

# LAVA package uploads to Debian? [Steve]

I don't have time to do it anymore, and we have RC bugs: * some django2 issues too? patches from Antonio * One more patch https://git.lavasoftware.org/lava/lava/merge_requests/696 * Gunicorn problem? Need to update the dependency * VLANd python3 conversion underway * lava-coordinator debian package depends on python2

# New maintainer for vland [milosz]

Since Steve is moving to a new project we’ll need a new maintainer for vland.

# SAN19 - all stuff up to date and slides done? [Steve]

Any meetings to plan? * lavafed

# Moving docker base images to buster? [Rémi]

When should we use buster as the base image?

Will be the base image for 2019.10

# Hangout meetings links changed [Steve]

The documentation should be updated.
