| kesha | Hey hey guys, I am looking through the some repositories on Gitlab and I see that "VM" is listed as "No longer current". Does that mean you need to update the README or do you have more VMs? The README has a Future VMs header listed as "TODO".
Can I ask what you are using to deploy your VMs? Proxmox?
--Just someone looking for something to contribute. | 18:15:35 |
 Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | Which repository is that in? | 18:16:03 |
| kesha | VM | 18:16:16 |
| Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | We use a variety of mechanisms as things have changed over the years | 18:16:16 |
| kesha | https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos.org/-/tree/main | 18:16:29 |
| kesha | It don't know how much automation you use/want to use but maybe I can help streamline. If that isn't something that is necessary I guess I could read this "Localization" post. | 18:17:26 |

https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos.org/-/tree/main I don't see where this says VM | 18:17:35 |
| kesha | whoops wrong link:

It don't know how much automation you use/want to use but maybe I can help streamline. If that isn't something that is necessary I guess I could read this "Localization" post. Definitely not enough automation
We want to use a lot more and have been working towards it.
Unfortunately not much of our infra stuff is open | 18:18:11 |
| kesha | Open as in open source? | 18:18:35 |

https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos.org/-/blob/1ad33fb1519042bc40001c15261132aa6246074b/pages/wiki/VMs.md Ah yeah that's really old. You can tell because the wiki isn't even a thing I just kept it in the history to preserve stuff. | 18:19:09 |
| Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | In reply to @kesha:necker.io
Open as in open source? Yes.
We use a lot of open source tooling ( in fact I think it's all based on open source things ) for our infrastructure.
But, the actual handling of that isn't publicly available. | 18:19:54 |
| Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | Like there's no public infrastructure git repo you could send code to, for example. | 18:20:20 |
| Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | We do want to have that eventually, hopefully. | 18:20:27 |
| kesha | Ah, too bad. I have some experience in the area.
Okay, so if someone had time and wanted to contribute where would you point them? The localization thing? | 18:21:18 |
| kesha | Proxmox is Open Source btw. AFAIK | 18:21:54 |
| Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | Yes. Localization is one thing, Android code is also always welcome. | 18:21:58 |
| Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | In reply to @kesha:necker.io
Proxmox is Open Source btw. AFAIK Yeah I meant our configs deployment code etc. | 18:22:14 |
| kesha | Android code is Java, right? | 18:22:47 |
| kesha | How many gitlabrunners do you employ? | 18:23:27 |
| Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | Apps are java, and kotlin these days. Most of our work.
Native code is mostly c++, and some rust these days. We don't do too much here.
There's some more languages depending on what's being done. | 18:23:57 |
| Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | In reply to @kesha:necker.io
How many gitlabrunners do you employ? None, we don't use gitlab ci much. | 18:24:06 |
| kesha | I hope you don't mind me asking more questions. I am looking for an area where I can help a bit haha.
A think I read above that you run your own servers? As in no Linode, Digital Ocean etc. Is this still the case and will it always be so? | 18:25:42 |
| Chirayu Desai (Telegram) | Not at all.
There was supposed to be a help wanted label on gitlab but I can't find it right now.
We mostly run our own servers yes. I'm not the person who can say it will always be so. | 18:28:35 |
