  • Update on CI/CD Update and Ubuntu Upgrade: Status Document
    • Status
      colourGreen
      titleNew
      Indy Shared GHA Repo
      • Updates being made across all repos to organize the GHAs into a single repository (indy-shared-gha), and dependent updates being made to all indy repos
    • Indy-Plenum Status: 
      • Done, 16.04, 20.04, Jenkins and GHA
    • Indy-Node Status:
      • Done, 16.04, 20.04, Jenkins and GHA
      • One 20.04 running in the IDUnion network of 16.04 nodes
      • Preparing and executing the automated release process.
    • indy-test-automation Status:
      • Working systemd image for 20.04, but the tests are not fully tested because of permissions handling decisions to be made ( after GHA work completed) – client messages not getting to the server.. 20.04 requires root where 16.04 doesn't and we want to confirm that to be the case.
      • There might be Seems like there is a solution in the indy-node-container work.  To be checked with Robin Klemens.
      Developer tools
    • indy-node-container (moved to Hyperledger) and GitPod tools available (node and plenum)
    • Indy-SDK build progress
      • Unblocked – builds are going and PRs are being reviewed (and rebasing PRs).
  • How are we going to work through this issue and upgrade the various networks?
    • Concern - running mixed nodes 16.04 and 20.04 a consensus problem occurs "in a while" (sometimes immediately, sometimes a few days has been seen)
    • Robin has the details of what tests have been run and what observations have been done. See Hack MD document with some details. 
    • Perhaps because of libsodium v18 and v23.
    • It might also be a ledger corruption issue, perhaps with the lead node having corruption issues and then propagating those issue.
    • Can we get the indy-node-container folks run tests with a mixed environment of nodes
  • Presentation on the indy-node-container repo / project by Sebastian Schmittner
