Hello

Thanks a lot for your work.
I look at the repo, the other ones from same user and ansible galaxy but I didn't find the role(s) to setup zentral.
I'm interested in the tool but I would go more to other cloud like digitalocean or Azure.
Roles should make it easy but where?

Thanks a lot!

Just say if busy, in the plan, not coming or whatever.
I might work on one but prefer to avoid duplicate.

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply.

We don't have a Zentral ansible role.

Pushed a first review https://github.com/juju4/ansible-zentral
but architecture is a bit more complicated than I expected with image. lot of dependencies :)

I would appreciate a bit of guidance, especially as it seems, I need to setup a specific daemon for simplesamlphp. right?
for now, all services fails on configuration but I think it's because zentral.conf module is not available.

Thanks

Quick tips and review.

  • set the ZENTRAL_CONF_DIR variable to point to the dir containing base.json.

  • Try to start with a simplier configuration.

    • Postgres
    • Rabbitmq
    • Elasticsearch
    • Nginx
    • Zentral gunicorn
    • Zentral workers

  • Spin-up a zentral-all-in-one image on GCE or AWS. This is a good example of a simple deployment on Ubuntu 16.04, with some management scripts to update zentral, get the certificates, configure the admin user…

It's not that simple having many dependencies and daemons.
Was already playing a lot with the vagrant all in one but as image, they hide complexity and partly the understanding of the innerwork of zentral.
Documented post-install is done properly I think. That's more what is in image and less documented which is harder

On the setup, I installed all daemons except promotheus but at this point zentral gunicorn or workers are not launching correctly. I also added redis because I thought it was needed but doesn't seem so.

I added ZENTRAL_CONF_DIR in systemd conf files and in /etc/profile.
Python3 was probably the main issue. would be a good addition to the doc. don't remember seeing it.

gunicorn seems fine with python3 but web interface gets

FATAL:  Peer authentication failed for user "zentral"

most probably because shell user is _zentral...

manage.py, the management script for Django, accepts only one command at a time. runserver and runworkers are two different commands, and runworkers is interpreted as an argument for runserver in your examples. That's why it doesn't work.

Look in the docker-entrypoint.sh script for examples how to use the different management commands.

I looked at docker-entrypoint when starting.
At this point, base is here and building fine in travis https://travis-ci.org/juju4/ansible-zentral

Just need to review those services
ah runserver runworkers is a bad copy/paste most probably... Good catch!

once fixed, just a relationship warning and web interface is up

You need to run the Django migrate command the first time and after every Zentral code update to synchronize the table structure in Postgres with the models described in the code. This will create update and remove the necessary tables.

This is done too in the docker-entrypoint.py script.

ok. I put it aside because I was not sure it mapped manage.py migrate but it is, so good.
Centos7 fun because postgresql < 7.4 ... using postgres repo for 9.5. fine on Xenial.

I also change server/settings.py to match customized pgsql db/user/pass.
Environment storage is not the best from security
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8826024
and more recently https://diogomonica.com/2017/03/27/why-you-shouldnt-use-env-variables-for-secret-data/

Any option to set user password in an unattended way?

One thing to clarify. the gunicorn and manage.py runserver are the same?
because in existing images, there is only zentral_web and zentral_workers while I added at the beginning a zentral systemd conf mapping manage.py runserver.

Thanks

runserver is a standard Django management command. It will start a simple server that is absolutely not recommended for production use. That's why we use gunicorn in the zentral_web_app.service of the zentral-all-in-one images.
