Initial Sponsor Meeting

Questions for Sponsor Meeting

We present:

: Our understanding of the problem from reading the PDF shared

• Demo OnLogic streaming Kiosk mode on https://localhost:8443 over SSH

  Getting context:

  Walk through project requirements and starter code (if applicable)

• At a high level, what is the expectation of the finished product?
• What is the starting point (existing code)?
• Technologies chosen (why?):
  • PostgreSQL
    • Flexibility with technologies (do we need a full Postgres db or can we use a lighter weight option like Redis)
  • Warp Web server (vs Nginx)
• Tech considered?
  • Containerized micro services
    • FreeBSD jails
• What do the APIs do?
• Any initial thoughts / ideas or known areas of bloat we can look into?

  Feature Prioritization:

• Views
  • System diagnostics
  • System maintenance
  • Data/operations

    Security:

• Should web UI be accessible from network.
  • Over HTTP/HTTPS and/or stream SSH?
  • Do changes on one client need to be reflected on all other clients
• Are APIs exposed?
  • API auth?
• Updates over USB would require privilege escalation
  • Users/login:
    • LDAP/AD? Or root account?

      Set-Up Tips:

• FreeBSD
  • amd64 vs i386?

    Dev process + CI/CD

• Our tentative approach:
  • Various FreeBSD VMs exposed SSH
  • GitHub Actions build code
  • Deploy to unconstrained FreeBSD VM

    Communication

• How often to check in?
• email, zoom, slack etc.?
• Do you want access to the test env VMs?
