We don't want mirror.pkgbuild.com's DNS server to be a
single-point-of-failure, so this commit adds multiple authoritative DNS
servers for the zone. The extra DNS servers are run on the geomirror
servers.

The _acme-challenge zone, used for obtaining certificates, is run solely
on mirror.pkgbuild.com's DNS server, to avoid syncing DNS records
between the servers (KISS).

We want the GeoIP databases to be ready for use by software installed
by dependant roles; run geoipupdate when it's installed or configured.

We had a GeoIP mirror in the past based on nginx and its GeoIP module,
but it didn't perform very well, due to the high latency (asking a
central server for the package and then redirected to the closest
mirror).

One of the reasons for offering this service, is so we can relieve
mirror.pkgbuild.com which is burning a ton of traffic (50TB/month),
likely due to it being the default mirror in our Docker image. Another
reason is so we can offer a link to our arch-boxes images in libosinfo
(used by gnome-boxes, virt-install and virt-manager), with good enough
performance for most users.

This time we take a different approach and use a DNS based solution,
which means the latency penalty is only paid once (the first DNS
request). The downside is that the mirrors must have a valid certificate
for the same domain name, which makes using third-party mirrors a
challenge. So for now, we are just using the sponsored mirorrs
controlled by the DevOps team.

Fix #101

It's on github not gitlab

With the PHP->Python port done[1][2], there isn't much need for aur-dev
anynmore. Most things can also be tested locally and aur-dev haven't got
any love since the port (ex: allowing the aurweb maintainers to deploy
without asking DevOps).

This makes it more easier to distinguish the command from the rest of the text.

Fix #364

Kevin Morris authored 3 years ago and Kristian Klausen committed 2 years ago

Without this, we update while services are still running, and those
services depend on the AUR directory state. This commit installs
services much earlier, downs all of them, deploys out updates, then
starts them all again at the end.

Creates a systemd service which executes these commands on first boot:

pacman-key --init

pacman-key --populate archlinux

Also it makes sure /etc/pacman.d/gnupg is not absent.

At last it removes /etc/machine-id to make sure systemd launches first
boot services.

During the migration to Quarkus distribution we switched to the
packaged version of the theme (keycloak-archlinux-theme).

This reverts commit 9d169a5b.

The relevant fixes have been included in systemd 250.4-2.

The intention of "unique" in "groups['buildservers'] | sort | unique"
was to account for combining multiple groups and passing them to the
sort and unique filters. However, with only one group it looks silly.

There is a need for build servers to never build against outdated repo
databases, even with syncrepo providing a local mirror that is updated
every minute. To that effect, we adjust mirrorlist on build servers so
the first mirror is the tier0 mirror provided by gemini.

Keep the syncrepo role on build servers in order to have a local cache
of packages and avoid concurrent build jobs downloading the same files
causing them to be corrupted.

Finally, configure gemini to use its own repos (like other mirrors do).

Some users scrape our git endpoint with quite some requests per second
(32) this is not something cgit/smartgit can handle and has caused the
AUR to go down once (http 502).

Re-enable when all servers have been upgraded to systemd 251.

Order and exact values copied from the CF example in resolved.conf.

Keeps us from having to deal with .pacnew files.

Fixes these display counters which were tied to aur.archlinux.org:

- Uptime
- RootFS Total
- RAM Total
- SWAP Total

Also add a decimal point to the latter two fields.

No changes made to it; this is to reduce noise in future modifications.
