Hi M-Lab and Ooni,
It looks like Least Authority's work on Ooni and M-Lab integration is nearing completion. In the past weeks, the M-Lab engineers have worked very quickly to get the necessary changes to mlab-ns and the Nagios pipeline done. I'm personally really excited to see the first test deployment against the real mlab-ns!
As we were working through our milestones, we sought to avoid blocking, so we stepped over a few small tasks that would involve waiting on M-Lab. These are all tagged with the "M-Lab" label in the issue tracker:
https://github.com/m-lab-tools/ooni-support/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+la...
Someone from M-Lab (and possibly Ooni) should take a look over them before any serious deployment begins.
The most significant outstanding issue is deciding where the Ooni Bouncer is going to be hosted: On an M-Lab sliver, or by The Tor Project? We designed the mlab-ns integration to be compatible with either option.
https://github.com/m-lab-tools/ooni-support/issues/7 https://github.com/m-lab-tools/ooni-support/issues/9
So that's that! I'll be around until the end of the month to answer any questions about our work, and to help with the Nagios integration if needed.
Adding Chris Ritzo, M-Lab's project manager to ensure he's in the loop.
Cheers, Meredith

This is awesome!
I am also very excited to see this happen after so much work. Can't wait to see the first reports come in!

From our side I think this is all good. I committed a fix for the
service-identity dependency so I think #41 can now be closed.

I believe the canonical bouncer should be hosted by us on our own infrastructure. This envisioning the fact that we want to also support from day 1 the collection of non-approved M-Lab tests on non mlab collectors.
If this is a problem I am open for discussing an alternative.
