Phabricator trial

Hi,

Phabricator is now running on https://phabricator.wmflabs.org/. If you haven't before indicated that you trust wmflabs.org certificates, your browser may warn you that the site's identity is untrusted. You should add an exception.

You should be able to log in using your WMF Google Apps credentials. If you prefer to have a separate username and password, please contact Steven Walling (swalling [at] wikimedia) who has volunteered to help manage accounts during the trial run.

Be aware that this is a trial run and that the setup hasn't been thoroughly tested for security vulnerabilities. So the usual caveats apply: don't put anything in that is dear to you or private. Other than that, go nuts.

Mark Traceur will administer this machine -- please direct questions to him (but also be prepared to offer help). :)

Thanks to Ryan and Jeremy for their help with configuring this machine.

Is it possible to set it up in such a way that all read operations can
be performed without logging in, or does Phabricator currently lack
that configuration option?

AFAIK, you can expose activity feeds to non-logged-in users, but other views require authentication. You can have an open registration policy. Not sure there's a complete interface available to anonymous users, though. I'll check the docs later and make sure.

Re: Phabricator trial [In reply to]

All right, I think we need to seriously consider this problem right now:

There's seemingly no way to disable required-login in the conf files. We
need people to be allowed into our code review system, and right now,
they need to either have a Google account (nasty) or ask someone on the
machine for a login (slow). That's pretty much the state of things for
*committing* right now, in Gerrit, but people should be able to see
changesets and the discussions thereof without logging in.

I tried setting "policy.allow-public" to true, but that did nothing
obvious. The docs in default.conf say something about "setting objects
to be publicly accessible", but there are no extra configuration
settings in the policy group, and no mention of "public" in either the
docs or the default.conf example.

Can anyone help me figure this one out?

Except, of course, that I can't, because I (don't have a
(Facebook|Disqus|phabricator.org)|prefer not to use my (GitHub|Google))
account. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hits this wall.

> "policy.allow-public" affects future settings which will be available in the UIs built by T603.

Could you perhaps summarize what that means, time-wise? Is there
anything we (I) can do to push things forward?

This is just not a current feature at all AIUI. the upstream instance
has a demo:demo account which we could set up on ours too but the demo
account has write permissions.

This is filed already as https://secure.phabricator.com/T603

You're not the only one. Evan seems to be happy to create accounts for
people. (just send him your name and email)

For those who just want to follow the link and see what's going on without
making any sort of account at all, I've taken screenshots of the entire
page.

It isn't the most efficient way of viewing it, but it beats creating an
account just to view this bug, especially if you're just following along the
conversation.
