CSIS Production Cloud Infrastructure

[p-a-s-c-a-l]

Move CSIS Production System to Cloud Infrastructure, e.g. pantheon.io.

Since our highly customised CSIS Drupal instance uses some workarounds and "hacks" which need full control over web server and php configuration, it will be hard to find a cloud infrastructure that gives us enough freedom to do what we are currently doing.

pantheon.io:

• max. PHP Application Memory Limit: 512 MB, starting at $225/month, atm we are using 1GB
• cannot modify php.ini and probably also upload.ini, but this is needed e.g. here
• modifications to the nginx.conf file are not supported, but this is needed here
• web server ignores distributed configuration files such as .htaccess. But this is needed for our self-hosted external apps, like the map component and the table app.

Would it make sense to look for a hosting or cloud infrastructure that offers support for Docker, like AWS or Digital Ocean?

Due to privacy or legal matters, are we looking for European-based companies only?

At Meteogrid we use a German company for hosting and services https://www.hetzner.com/

pantheon.io:

* max. PHP Application Memory Limit: [512 MB](https://pantheon.io/pricing-comparison), starting at $225/month, atm we are using **1GB**

* [cannot modify php.ini](https://pantheon.io/docs/platform-considerations) and probably also upload.ini, but this is needed e.g. [here](https://github.com/clarity-h2020/csis-helpers-module/issues/13#issuecomment-541167667)

Thanks, that makes it "easier" - at least to know what we can't use. That's a pity, but it is as it is.

CSIS has been copied to the new DEV and PROD servers and is reachable under

• https://csis-dev.ait.ac.at/
• https://csis.ait.ac.at/

DNS entries for csis-dev.myclimateservices.eu should be updated next Monday and for csis.myclimateservices.eu when the issue of synchronisation has been resolved.

In the meantime I'll start moving other services like CKAN to the new servers.

https://csis-dev.ait.ac.at/ and https://csis.ait.ac.at/ are currently down due to some proxy erros that have to be resolved first.

down due to some proxy erros that have to be resolved first.

Anything I can help with here? Is this proxy something our ITO needs to configure?

And: I checked with our ITO and port 80 incoming should already be open.

@Itsman-AT no, atm nothing you can help with, thanks.

@negroscuro Can you please register csis-dev.myclimateservice.eu to 62.218.164.246?

DEV and PROD Docker hosts are now operational.
