- Deployment Stability
- Node Default time - Leth has developed a script which sets the date to being valid for the current certificate or the 1st of Jan this year. Has a related setup node script ready to run. This can now be run over all nodes except #253 and #266. Morse to roll this out with Leth in tow.
- OpenVPN
- Unexpected termination - SjH is looking into this problem further, it looks like OpenVPN performs some of its task in a random order. One solution is to run OpenVPN in the foreground in a while loop which starts it again when it dies.
- DNS Lookup loop - Is having a DNS problem and if OpenVPN starts before resolv.conf is re-written with open dns data is hangs in a loop. Put the IP address is the openVPN config is the solution, again Leth has done this and this can be rolled out (morse and Leth)
- New requests
- Unless you can keep it longer than the end of June, then we are not deploying over the summer will be the response.
