Peering Manager v1.9.0 has been released.

https://github.com/peering-manager/peering-manager/releases/tag/v1.9.0

A lot of work and love have been put into it, as usual. That's more than 9 months of work, so expect some new features and bug fixes (new ones will show soon enough I'm sure).

Today is Peering Manager release day, version 1.8.0 is out.

Take a few minutes to read the release notes prior to upgrading as there are some breaking changes.

Code base housekeeping, models normalisation, use of pyixapi, prefix lookup changes, better webhooks, brand new statuses for improved workflow, bug fixes and most likely new bugs joined the party.

This roughly translates to ~3 hours to restore a 80 GB of disk VM. Switching back to decent (second hand) 2.5" HDD might be a short term solution (except I don't have any).

Anybody has some recommendations to replace a HP DL360e Gen 8 (2 Xeon E5-2430L with 48GB of RAM)?

I'm looking for something with a lower power footprint, still with a bit more kick, without crazy pricing as it is for home lab (and hosting some Peering Manager stuff too).

The server I currently use starts being a bit old, also the consumer SSDs in it appear to be baked and are killing the performances. All I see now is IO delay :(

Yesterday Peering Manager v1.7.4 was released.

This should be the last bug fix release before going into 1.8. It contains a few bug fixes for templating filters and also some improvement such as MAC address field for connection and NetBox webhook support.

Just introduced a new MAC address field for connections to IXPs in Peering Manager. Hoping to peer it with an IX-API action soon to make MAC address change (e.g. during maintenances) automated and painless.

While trying to implement IX-API support in Peering Manager I've always been bothered by IDs not being resolved as objects automatically on server response.

I'm currently working on a Python package to make requests on IX-API instance. Once again, I'm facing the issue: https://github.com/peering-manager/pyixapi/issues/8

This is the only issue that need a fix for me to have feature parity in Peering Manager while using this Python package.

Anybody interested in helping out?

Yesterday I added a small confort feature in Peering Manager for NetBox users. It can automatically create/update/delete devices if a webhook is aimed at PM's `/api/peering/routers/update-from-netbox/` URL.

https://github.com/peering-manager/peering-manager/commit/a475f4d0558366eb55a52379cad47d5905d2a91c

I hope it'll reduce the burden of syncing devices between NetBox and Peering Manager.

A little #introduction before the year ends.

I'm a network engineer, working on the core/backbone side of things during the day. I'm an open source developer and/or gamer during the night.

I enjoy working on problems that need a combination of network and code to be solved. As of today my main languages are Python and Go. I'm starting to get curious about Rust.

Thanks @nova for Hachyderm. Glad to be here!
