1040318 - Migrate badg.us to AWS

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Participation Infrastructure :: MCWS, task, P1)

Description

[Yousef Alam [:yalam96] (use NEEDINFO)]

A new server will need to be put up for badg.us, I have the db dump for it.

Jan and myself have got the server running but there's two issues to far:

ewong, where were the uploads stored on the original server? If they were stored in an Object store on HP then we may be able to retrieve them otherwise I think they're gone.

The other issue is that logging in via persona leads the brower to constantly refresh. ewong, if you came across it, did you find a solution?

Moving forwards, the app server will need to be put behind nginx and I will ensure uploads are served through S3 which will have scheduled backups enabled.

One more thing before I forget, did the original site use SSL? That would need to be re-issued also.

If you're talking about the images, they were stored on the server itself,
unfortunately.

No, I don't recall encountering that problem.

No.

Server is up at http://54.88.56.79/ but I'm still running into issues with persona causing the page to refresh.

I'm getting a 502 for that URL. What is the status on this?

Comment 7

[Yousef Alam [:yalam96] (use NEEDINFO)]

I haven't done anything on it in a while, I spent a couple of hours trying to get persona to work with no luck.

Comment 8

[Logan Rosen [:Logan]]

As an update, I was able to resolve the Persona issue by fixing a config settings for not having SSL, so it's up and running again at the IP above (54.88.56.79).

Edmund, could you please see if this looks good to you? Can we point badg.us to this?

Heck yeah!  Awesome job dudes!

This needs to be moved into the new VPC, then it should be ready.

Comment 11

[Yousef Alam [:yalam96] (use NEEDINFO)]

Things that need to be done:

- Set up the NFS share from bug 1062509 so that all media is stored on it
- Move the db to the RDS instance inside our VPC (bug 1062502)
- Set up the auto-scaling group
- Point the domain name to the lb

Tagging for team discussion. Need to formulate a plan to address.

Comment 13

[Majken Connor [:Kensie]]

Yousef - it seems the site is up, was this fixed or is it just by chance that it is working right now?

Comment 14

[matthew zeier [:mrz]]

Need:

* documentation wiki
* runbook (how to fix common issues when it breaks)
* Pingdom monitoring
* Dashboard integration

@yalam - when do you think you can wrap that up?

Comment 15

[Yousef Alam [:yalam96] (use NEEDINFO)]

It's up to the same level as before, but media would still be stored on the same server which is what lead to the loss of the data from before. I'd like to get it using S3 or similar before calling it production-ready.

I tried to connect to bad.us using my persona account (same address as bugzilla) and I get the constant refresh bug...
Are you sure this is fixed? I got the same issue a while ago with mozilians.org (bug 908342), maybe linked to the mixed case address bug.

We have a potential new contributor who has experience with django apps, I'll see if he can help us with this.

Comment 18

[Yousef Alam [:yalam96] (use NEEDINFO)]

Fixed the constant refreshing bug again.

Comment 19

[Logan Rosen [:Logan]]

Given that we're sunsetting badg.us, I think it's safe to close this.
