1204887 - Create l10n.stage.webapp.scl3.mozilla.com

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: Virtualization, task)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Just making things up here, if I'm guessing wrong, just correct:

Context is in bug 1156760.

I need a VM, let's call it  l10n-allizom1.webapp.scl3.mozilla.com (as I intend to have it host l10n.allizom.org)

One CPU should be good enough, as 40G of disk, and 2G of RAM.

It'll need a mount of /mnt/space/ from l10n-dashboard1.webapp.scl3.mozilla.com to /mnt/space/, RO is fine.

Accounts should be root and dashboard. I'll need access to both.

OS: CentOS 6, with python 2.7

Alright, let's take this a bit at a time.

Name: l10n-allizom1.webapp.scl3.mozilla.com 
OS: Centos6 
RAM: 2G
CPU: 1
Disk:standard

Accounts - We only give out LDAP accounts that I'm aware of - so I can give *you* sudoers access, which would allow you to have root level access.

OS customization - this is outside the purview of a VM creation ticket, and will likely require other work
Python 2.7 - centos6/RHEL6 doesn't ship with python 2.7
NFS mount from other host - This will require configuration of the other host.

We can work to get the VM created shortly, freeing this blocker from your path.

Should there be a dedicated account to run the web code? Apache/wsgi it will be.

I guess have me access to the machine with sudo is a good starting point, either way.

python 2.7 is on the critical path, as django stopped supporting 2.6 with any version that's getting security updates next month.

Thanks.

Axel,

Now that the VM is online, I can install python2.7 on it in the morning (I'm in Singapore over the next couple of weeks). 

Does anyone else need access to the VM (apart from you?)

Comment 4

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Thanks.

Right now, I'm mostly alone in elmo land, sadly. So just me and a regular IT access is good enough.

Well, Shyam jumped the gun a smidge.  (It was up when he wrote that, I just hadn't announced it.)  

the vm l10n-allizom1.webapp.scl3.mozilla.com has been created

Initial puppetization has been completed, with sudoer level access given to you.

Initial stubs for pre-prod (non-alerting) monitoring has been put in.  Once it's live, you'll likely want to bug the moc to have more interesting things put in.  

Let me know if you have any questions.

[Shyam Mani [:fox2mike]]

Chris, my bad. Ideally this would be l10n.stage.webapp.scl3 not l10n-allizom...I'm wondering if we can re-name without too much trouble?

Thanks. Did some exploratorations, and I think we need more packages:

git
apache (httpd)
MySQL-python.x86_64
python-ldap.x86_64
gcc (for compiled python packages)

Shyam, can we kick off zeus and dns already, as we have the IP, or should we wait for the potential rename?

Internal and external routes might already work, tested db and ES dev/prod connections.

Re the mounts, as we already have an export for /mnt/space/repos, it might be easiest to add one for /mnt/space/build-data, and mount both here?

Feel free to tell me when to punt the conversation back to the tracker, too.

Shyam - I'm looking at renaming - delightfully it's almost easier to destroy and recreate - but given that you've worked on fixing things, I'll rename.

Comment 10

[Chris Knowles [:cknowles]]

Alright, it's back online as l10n.stage.webapp.scl3.mozilla.com - documentation and things all updated.  

From Virtualization's standpoint, this is now done, and normally we'd close this "create" bug now - but I see other work being done here... can I reassign/re-queue this, or close it to make way for new bugs, or what?

Comment 11

[Chris Knowles [:cknowles]]

Okay guys, this VM is created, it's ready to be configured/used - I'm closing this out as virtualization is now done.  Let me know if you need further assistance from us.
