#geodesic - April 2020

So, I started using Geodesic on a linux box (Amazon Linux 2 specifically, based on CentOS) rather than my normal OSX setup, and I'm noticing a lot of issues with being root in the container causing files to be root on my local file system and screwing with stuff. there a docker configration i'm missing somewhere? Looking in the startup scripts if you do a make install I see it passing in USER_ID and GROUP_ID as environment variables in to the docker container on the command line, but not sure how geodesic is consuming those or if it has an effect on file system mounts

yea, no practical way to do that.

in geodesic you want to be able to install packages, so you want to be root.

on the local fs, it's just mounted and there's no way to set the uid/mapping

(e.g. like on NFS)

open to suggestions

Yeah, i’ve hit this problem in other scenarios and never solved it, was hoping someone smarter than me had

Hello. Im new to geodesic and attempting to install. During make process "ERROR: Not committing changes due to missing repository tags. Use --force-broken-world to override." causes process to fail. My tool set is windows docker desktop with a cloned geodesic repo shared from windows dir to alpine Linux container. Testing install from cloned geodesic dir directly on alpine container does complete successfully. Ive attached error with full details. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

Wierd, in this case makes me think there's something up with the line endings (perhaps related to windows?)

see how the ' character is at the beginning of the line? makes me thing something up with \r

Master successfully built 4 days ago, so I think it's a windows incompatbility. Our windows support came from community contributions (We don' thave any way to test it)

Thanks for the quick response Erik. I agree with you that it's a windows environment problem.
I'll continue working the error out and will update the channel if able to resolve.

that would be great

we accept most PRs too

Is the newest package for terraform really 0.12.10 in the cloudposse packages? Or is it recommended to go back to the community packages for terraform?

We have been in tech debt hell.

GitHub actions changed somethings that broke our automations.

@Maxim Mironenko (Cloud Posse) is working to fix that

Upstream maintainers keep changing their release versions and artifacts breaking our auto updates

I hope we get the auto updates working again in the next day or so. @Maxim Mironenko (Cloud Posse) has been working on it all week.

No worries, was just in the process of updating all my images for a kubernetes update and was going to bump that too. Don’t have a need for it at the moment.

I went from using Geodesic somewhere around version 0.124.0 to the newest 0.129.1 a week or two ago and have noticed that my assume-role doesn’t seem to be refreshing it’s session.

I have export AWS_VAULT_SERVER_ENABLED=true in the environment, I do see the message at startup

* assume-role will start EC2 metadata service at <http://169.254.169.254/latest>

But roles time out multiple times daily for me. The max duration for a session on the assumed role is 1 hour, but that used to be auto-refreshed for me. Now I have to backout and reassume the role every hour, rather than every 12.

Something change/break here?

Hi all. Can i ask how much will it cost to deploy reference-architectures monthly assuming nothing ran/deployed on it ?

so i can get a heads up

Just read Erik's comment about reference-architecture on this channel
