#102488 — [4 Tcpreset PEERS] Usenet News tcpreset down for mantainance

We are going for an upgrade of the entire OS.
We are going to have some downtimes.
We will return to normal operations soon.

#102491

Hello,

news.tcpreset.net has been upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04.4
LTS Noble, running the Linux 6.8 kernel and is back to normal operations

The upgrade also introduced new versions of the main service components:

- INN 2.7.2
- Perl 5.38.2
- Cleanfeed-NG 2026-07-03-rc1
- PHP 8.3
- MariaDB 10.11
- Postfix 3.8
- SpamAssassin 4.0

IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, the external news spool, NNTP on port 119
and NNTPS on port 563 were verified after the reboot. 
Mail, web and spam-filtering services are also operational.

The historical Cleanfeed filter has been replaced with Cleanfeed-NG
after checksum verification, configuration validation and successful
completion of all 130 upstream tests.

The new Cleanfeed-NG policies are initially running in audit mode. 
New rejection policies will only be enabled after reviewing a sufficient
sample of real traffic.

New text-based statistics are available at:
https://news.tcpreset.net/cleanfeed_parser.php

INN 2.7 no longer uses the deprecated -C flag. 
It has been replaced with docancels: "none", preserving the previous
behaviour: cancel and Supersedes requests may be propagated, but are not
locally executed to withdraw articles.

The maintenance also corrected INN log handling, the Certbot
configuration and the integration with PHP-FPM 8.3.

The server is currently operational with no failed systemd units. 
Cleanfeed-NG behaviour and peer connectivity will continue to be
monitored over the coming days.

Please reply to this message if you notice any problems.

Thanks for the support.
There were some rough patches, but fortunately, it wasn't necessary to 
use any files from the backup or the snapshot.

It is now fully operational, and the update went as planned.

I blinked and I missed it! Good job on the successful update.

Thanks,
i adopted *infybofh* new
[Cleanfeed-NG](https://github.com/infybofh/cleanfeed-ng) 
it looks promising, which naturally prompted me to examine
[Postfilter-NG](https://github.com/infybofh/postfilter-ng], 
another of his projects. 

From there, integrating NoCeM became a logical step. 

https://news.tcpreset.net/nocem_stats.html

Postfilter-NG is still undergoing an audit, but the architecture is
ready, observable, and documented

Regards

I already have NoCeM configured, whether it's done properly I am not
exactly sure. I am planning to move to cleanfeed-NG this weekend since
I'll have some free time. I've not looked at postfilter-NG - I never
knew it existed.

I do have a feeling that cleanfeed may have dumped some legitimate
posts so maybe cleanfeed-NG will be better. Did you use stock or did
you tweak it?

You could check whether NoCeM notices are arriving, whether their 
signatures validate against the trusted issuer keys, and whether the 
referenced Message-IDs are actually being processed.

Logs are more important than the statistics page alone.

For Cleanfeed-NG, i started from the stock version and adapted the local 
configuration and policies, without modifying its core.

I am monitoring rejection data carefully because false positives are 
also my  main concern.

Postfilter-NG is currently running in audit mode, so I can observe its 
decisions before allowing it to reject anything.

I would be interested to hear how your Cleanfeed-NG migration goes and 
to compare results.

Best regards

Gabx

Cleanfeed-NG is actively processing production traffic.

It has evaluated about 5,700 articles, rejected 199 through the 
established Cleanfeed rules, and recorded six new-policy findings in 
audit mode.

https://news.tcpreset.net/cleanfeed_parser.php

NoCeM is also receiving notices and correctly ignoring issuers or notice 
types outside our trust policy.

No trusted and applicable notice has arrived yet, so there have been no 
cancellations.

I need to improve the status page because it currently does not display 
notices excluded by policy.

https://news.tcpreset.net/nocem_stats.html

Postfilter-NG is not active in production yet,  as i already said.

Its two displayed events are offline validation tests, including one 
simulated rejection accepted in audit mode.

https://news.tcpreset.net/postfilter_stats.html

I will keep it staged until there is enough evidence to activate it safely.
