619083 - need dedicated box for graph server staging

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Graph Server, defect)

Description

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

We have a Q4 webdev goal of launching a new graph server interface (bug 601796).

I have put this up on graphs-stage (aka bm-buildgraph01), but it turns out that this machine is very underpowered (VM, 1 CPU, 512MB RAM) and is used for production purposes so it is too slow to be useful and not enough RAM to do significant in-memory caching.

Can we please have a dedicated box for this (does not need to be new, can be a repurposed machine)? At least 2GB RAM, CPU is not a big deal but it should not be a VM. It should run RHEL 5.5 or 6, and be able to connect to tm-stage01-master01

bm-graphs-stage01 set up and added ldap auth for ssh with rhelmer in sudoers. Basic nagios health checks have been added.

All done, some notes about what was needed:

sudo yum install httpd mod_wsgi git MySQL-python26 python26-setuptools varnish mysql-server
[rhelmer@bm-graphs-stage01 html]$ sudo /usr/sbin/useradd graphs
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/graphs-stage2
sudo chown graphs:graphs /var/www/html/graphs-stage2
sudo su - graphs
cd /var/www/html
git clone https://github.com/rhelmer/graphs.git graphs-stage2/
sudo mkdir /var/log/httpd/graphs-stage2.mozilla.org
# configure .htaccess
# configure server/api.wsgi
sudo easy_install webob
# edit httpd.conf and varnish configs, put apache on port 8080 and varnish on 80
