Tasklist about how to install and configures a complete UNREDD NFMS portal using a vagrant box and the chef deployment process

Requirements

Platform:

  • Ubuntu

The following Opscode cookbooks:

  • apache2
  • apt
  • ark
  • build-essential
  • database
  • java
  • logrotate
  • postgresql

The following cookbooks:

Installation on a Vagrant virtual machine

  1. Install vagrant (see http://vagrantup.com/v1/docs/getting-started/index.html)

  2. Download this repository with submodules: git clone --recursive https://github.com/nfms4redd/chef-nfms-portal.git

  3. Run Vagrant:

     cd chef-nfms-portal/vagrant
 vagrant up

Memory allocation

Currently 3GB RAM is allocated for the virtual machine. It can be customized changing the config.vm.customize argument in Vagrantfile:

config.vm.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", 3072])

Host name

Host name is set to unredd through the following line in Vagrantfile

config.vm.host_name = "unredd"

Forward ports

Currently only port 80 in the VM is forwarded to port 4567 on the host OS.

config.vm.forward_port 80, 4567 in Vagrantfile

Shared folders

Two shared folders are created:

Dir Mount point
cache /var/vagrant-cache/
shared ~/shared

The cache shared directory is also set as the chef.provisioning_path, so that the chef files are not cancelled when rebooting or after destroying the vm.

Users

Three users are created on the Vagrant virtual machine:

  • vagrant
  • tomcat6
  • postgres

Applications/services installed

Apache 2

Apache 2 is installed through the Opscode apache2 cookbook.

Service name: apache2

The configuration file is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

Custom proxy configuration (ajp protocol) is done in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/tomcat_proxy.conf -> `/etc/apache2/sites-available/tomcat_proxy.conf.

The only other custom configuration is done through /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf

Java

Oracle jdk1.6.0_37 is installed using the Opscode java cookbook.

Tomcat

Version: 6.0.36

Tomcat is installed with the CATALINA_BASE method to have multiple instances sharing the same Tomcat installation files.

CATALINA_HOME=/var/tomcat/default. default is a symbolic link to the current Tomcat binary.

Postgres

Version: 9.1

Configuration files are in /etc/postgresql/9.1/main

postgres user password is postgres

Default databases/owners/passwords:
Databases Owner Owner password
stg_geoserver stg_geoserver admin
diss_geoserver diss_geoserver admin
stg_geostore stg_geostore admin
diss_geostore diss_geostore admin

Postgis

Demo data

DRC demo data is in /var/tmp/drc

The unredd-nfms-portal::install_test_data recipe sets up stg_geoserver, stg_geostore, and stg_geobath data for testing:

  • the filesarea.tif and provinces.tif are copied in /var/stg_geoserver/extdata/forest_mask_mosaic;

To setup stg_geostore for the demo data, type

curl -u admin:Unr3dd -XPUT -H "Content-type: text/xml" -d @/var/tmp/unredd_geostore_backup.xml http://localhost/stg_geostore/rest/backup/quick/

on the terminal

TODO

  • Tomcat webapps are deployed in the webapps directory every time chef runs - check if the webapp version is new and deploy only in that case
  • add apache proxy directives from definitions (geobatch.rb, geoserver.rb, and geostore.rb)
  • dynamically set schema in geobatch config (now set to public)
  • hard coded stuff in geobatch flow config files

GeoStore users are initialized to:

user role pwd
node['unredd-nfms-portal']['stg_geostore']['web_admin_user'] ADMIN node['unredd-nfms-portal']['stg_geostore']['web_admin_password']
user USER node['unredd-nfms-portal']['stg_geostore']['web_admin_password']

Please note that the user user has the same password as the admin user
