650907 - Setup a webhead for Share in Staging

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Cloud Services :: Server: Share, defect)

Description

[Philippe M. Chiasson (:gozer)]

Can be the same box/VM as in 650906. Could be 2 boxes/VMs to test load-balancing, but that's all Zeus, nothing specific about Share, so probably not necessary.

For an idea, currently, F1 production is running off 2 single-core Xeon VMs with 2Gb of RAM each, and that's plenty.

For now, best if this can be RHEL5/64-bit, as that's what our current yum repos are targetting. RHEL6 is possible, but untested as of now.

Attachment: [f1-testing] Yum repo config file

Dropping this file as /etc/yum.repos.d/f1-testing.repo will enable the current Share nightly (hudson, on-change) driven package repository.

To install the Share API web component, just install the mozilla-f1-python26-server package like so:

$> yum install mozilla-f1-python26-server

Should bring in all sorts of dependencies along the way.

It all installs under /opt/mozilla.org/f1/*

To start a web head, there are 2 services:

nginx
f1_server

Nginx is the actual webserver listening on port 81

$> /etc/rc.d/init.d/nginx start

f1_server is a Python gunicorn wsgi server

$> /etc/rc.d/init.d/f1-server start

And it listens on localhost:5000 and gets proxied to by nginx

Configuration is under /etc/f1/, with really only 2 files of interest.

production.ini has various settings, like debugging, log levels, etc
private.ini contains the oauth tokens that contain bogus values that needs filling in.

Once running, visiting:

http://hostname:81/dev/share/panel/

should bring up the familiar F1 setup/share panel, and it should work directly from Firefox 5.

Comment 5

[Philippe M. Chiasson (:gozer)]

Another note, our packages rely on some EPEL packages, so that repo needs to be available (or a mirror of it)

share{1,2}.mtv1.stage.svc.mozilla.com are up and puppetized (each VMs: 1gb ram, 8gb disk).

Comment 7

[Pete Fritchman [:petef]]

stage is planned to be publicly accessible. has this code been security reviewed?

Comment 8

[Pete Fritchman [:petef]]

mozilla-web-f1 also required
