Release GN v4.4.0 #107

juanluisrp · 2023-07-11T11:59:41Z

Main changes

Run on Java 11

GeoNetwork 4.4.x use Java 11 (See geonetwork/core-geonetwork#7186)

Improved configuration

Documentation explains how to configure various aspects of the application (eg. root context, database, elasticsearch index, security, ...) using environment variables.

Changes and new options:

Allow to set the application web context path using the new WEBAPP_CONTEXT_PATH (defaults to /geonetwork)
Move the exploded war to /opt/geonetwork
Add a new GN_CONFIG_PROPERTIES for passing addional configuration options to GN in the form of Java properties, for example GN_CONFIG_PROPERTIES=-Dldap.base.provider.url=ldap://ldap:389
ES_XYZ variables are removed. Use JVM arguments instead.
Add Jetty configuration to support large metadata records editing

Move from Nginx to Traefik

Moving to traefik was mainly motivated for easier setup of the multiple instances configuration (see below).
Traefik dashboard is available on http://localhost:8000/
It defines a router to GeoNetwork with a redirect when requesting "/" on http://geonetwork.localhost/ and then load balance to the instances available.

Add health check

Add service health check and start services in order (eg. avoid to have error on OGC API Records when the database is empty).

Multiple instances configuration (experimental)

The composition allows to start multiple GeoNetwork nodes. eg. to start 2 more instances :

docker-compose --profile scaled up --scale geonetwork-replica=2 -d

and traefik will register them as servers for the route

* Allow to set the application web context path using the new `WEBAPP_CONTEXT_PATH` (defaults to `/geonetwork`) * Move the exploded war to `/opt/geonetwork` * Add a new `GN_CONFIG_PROPERTIES` for passing addional configuration options to GN in the form of Java properties, for example `GN_CONFIG_PROPERTIES=-Dldap.base.provider.url=ldap://ldap:389` * `ES_HOST` is no longer mandatory and now defaults to `localhost`

* Java 11 * Fix Config properties * Use OGC API records 4.2.5 for now * Fix OGC API records fail to start because of empty GN database * Move config to JVM args * Add Jetty http forward module for X-Forwarded header.

It should be noted that there is a sticky cookie here for forcing the user to use the same geonetwork across his visit: https://github.com/geonetwork/docker-geonetwork/pull/107/files#diff-bed7ab158ecf2f50be93c45dd9ae77da44d0689a155d95771d091515fb6d1ba7R59

If we have 2 geonetwork instances, the requests won't be evenly sent to all the geonetwork instances, in case we have 50% of users stuck to 1 geonetwork sending 80% of the overall requests, then one geonetwork will be overloaded while the other one will be underutilized.

I guess it's inevitable because geonetwork is a stateful app, but that's something the users should be aware of it.

I have encountered a configuration issue that I can reproduce based on this 4.4.0 setup. The swagger docs for ogc-records-service are not accessible through Geonetwork:

geonetwork: http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/home
ogc records service: http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/api
ogc records service swagger api
- link on page is http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/openapi
- the service itself listens for /openapi and generates a link for baseurl + /openapi, whereas geonetwork wants to send traffic for the service to /api

I've tried configuring the context path for ogc-records-service such that it matches /api, and the location for the swagger api itself to match:

server.servlet.context-path: /api
springfox.documentation.sawggerUi.baseUrl: /api/openapi

However, in that case, the desired path results in a 404: http://localhost:8081/api/openapi/swagger-ui/. Probably not the way to go then. Could you advise on how to get the swaggerui accessible?

Not sure @joachimnielandt . We have to fix it in OGC API Records side and it will not be fixed for 4.4.0.

Checking a bit more, it looks like
http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/api/openapi/swagger-ui/
is fine so the issue is when swagger redirect from /openapi to /openapi/swagger-ui/.
