Move Transition Research patterns Wagn website onto Penguin

[ed]

The Transition Research group currently host their pattern language in the cloud here:
​http://patterns.transitionresearchnetwork.org/

(Chris has done a re-direct for this already)

They are keen to move the whole site and WAGN system onto TN servers.

Please investigate and let me know what it will take to sort hosting this out.

[chris]

This would take a few hours work, Phusion Passenger and Nginx on wiki:PenguinServer is a possibility, these are the docs I have looked at:

• ​http://wagn.org/installation
• ​http://wagn.org/wagn_in_production
• ​https://www.phusionpassenger.com/download
• ​http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Nginx.html#install_on_debian_ubuntu

Or we could start by simply using Ngnix as a reverse proxy to the Rails' built-in webserver, Webrick -- this would be quicker to set up and as long as the site doesn't get a huge amount of traffic would probably be fine -- we could always switch to Phusion Passenger at a later date.

One (non-urgent) thought I have had is that transition.ac.uk or trn.ac.uk would be nice and short domain names for the TRN, but they would have to have a legal identity to get a .ac.uk domain name so it might be a non-starter.

Penguin RAM by Week 2013-09-19

[chris]

Replying to chris:

we could start by simply using Ngnix as a reverse proxy to the Rails' built-in webserver, Webrick -- this would be quicker to set up and as long as the site doesn't get a huge amount of traffic would probably be fine -- we could always switch to Phusion Passenger at a later date.

Agreed with Ed at a meeting earlier this week that the above approach makes sense, Penguin also now has an extra 1GB of RAM so it should be fine running a Webrick server, see:

• ​https://penguin.transitionnetwork.org/munin/transitionnetwork.org/penguin.transitionnetwork.org/memory.html

It might be worth upgrading Penguin to Wheezy before doing the install.

will no longer strongly support Ruby 1.8.7 after Wagn 2.0

​http://wagn.org/installation

Squeeze comes with Ruby 1.8.7 ​http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/ruby1.8 or 1.9.1 ​http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/ruby1.9.1 and so does Wheezy so upgrading to Wheezy isn't a requirement at this stage.

There is a list of required Debian packages here:

• ​http://wagn.org/Installation+Ubuntu_Lucid?view=open

I estimate that setting up Wagen via Webbrick and a nginx reverse proxy should take less than an hour and if I have access to the existing server then copying the current site across should take less than an hour and then an hour documenting everything on the wiki -- 3 hours should be a safe maximum estimate.

[ed]

Have emailed Tom researcher and asked - awaiting his go ahead

[ed]

Tom has approved the move, and 3-4 hours of time, so Chris I suggest you do this in September when things are back to operational again?

[ed]

Tom's re-approved it - Chris please crack on

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libpixman-1-dev: Depends: libpixman-1-0 (= 0.16.4-1) but 0.24.0-1~bpo60+1 is installed.
  libcairo2-dev: Depends: libcairo2 (= 1.8.10-6) but 1.10.2-7~bpo60+1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     libcairo2-dev [Not Installed]                      
2)     libgtk2.0-dev [Not Installed]

7)     librsvg2-dev [Not Installed]   

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q         

So, these are the packages from backports which are installed:

dpkg -l  |awk '/^ii/ && $3 ~ /bpo[456]0/ {print $2}'
gawk
geoip-database
libcairo2
libgeoip1
liblog-dispatch-perl
libnet-server-perl
libpixman-1-0
liburi-perl
libxfont1
munin
munin-common
munin-doc
munin-node
munin-plugins-core
munin-plugins-extra
python-babel
trac
x11-common

So we could upgrade to Wheezy at this stage or install from backports... installing the libpixman-1-dev and libcairo2-dev packages from backports:

aptitude -t squeeze-backports install libpixman-1-dev libcairo2-dev

The command for running the server:

env STATIC_ASSETS=true bundle exec rails server

Before that was run a wagn user was created and the files were chowned:

adduser --home /web/wagn --disabled-login wagn
chown -R wagn:wagn /web/wagn/

Then the /usr/local/bin/su-trac script was copied to su-wagn, it contains:

#!/bin/bash

su - wagn -s /bin/bash

So to start the server:

su-wagn
env STATIC_ASSETS=true bundle exec rails server
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.2.14 application starting in production on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

[2013-10-08 13:04:07] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=19565 port=3000

And test it:

lynx http://localhost:3000/

And it works, so, the next steps are:

1. Sort out a firewall so people can't connect directly to wagn sites on port 3000 / make webbrick only listen on localhost
2. Sort out a Nginx reverse proxy and http auth to start with

[chris]

To set it to only listen to localhost:

env STATIC_ASSETS=true bundle exec rails server --binding=127.0.0.1 

To make it run and detach from the shell:

env STATIC_ASSETS=true bundle exec rails server --binding=127.0.0.1 -d
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.2.14 application starting in production on http://127.0.0.1:3000

Scripts in /web/wagn/bin were created for starting and stopping the server, wagn-start:

#!/bin/bash

env STATIC_ASSETS=true bundle exec rails server --binding=127.0.0.1

And wagn-stop:

#!/bin/bash

kill -INT $(cat /web/wagn/tmp/pids/server.pid)

Enable the site and restart nginx and the site is available here:

​https://wagn.transitionnetwork.org/

I'll send a email to the ttech list with login info etc.

An archive from the existing site was uploaded to the server and first the database was imported, following ​http://wagn.org/Upgrading?view=open and then the files were rsynced across:

cat db | mysql wagn
cd /web/wagn
rake wagn:reset_cache
rake wagn:migrate
 migrating structure
 migrating cards
rm -rf tmp/cache/
rsync -av source/ /web/wagn/local/files/

And now the site appears to all be there, we just need to sort out what we are going to do regarding HTTPS logins.

[chris]

Add ~/bin/ to the path:

echo "export PATH=$PATH:/web/wagn/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile

I have started to document the site on the wiki, wiki:TransitionResearchWagn

Generate a CSR for the HTTPS cert:

sudo -i
cd /etc/ssl/
mkdir wagn
cd wagn/
 openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout wagn.key -out wagn.csr
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
......................+++
.............................+++
writing new private key to 'wagn.key'

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:
Locality Name (eg, city) []:
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:patterns.transitionresearchnetwork.org
Email Address []:

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:

Now waiting for this to be approved.

I have amended the Nginx config so that requests starting with /account are redirected to HTTPS and also to keep people who access the site using HTTPS I have aded a STS header, so this is the current config (this will need updating when the cert is added):

Sorting out the cert, which was saved at /etc/ssl/wagn/wagn.pem and following the notes from ticket:475#comment:4

wget http://crt.gandi.net/GandiStandardSSLCA.crt -O GandiStandardSSLCA.crt
openssl x509 -inform DER -in GandiStandardSSLCA.crt -out GandiStandardSSLCA.pem
cat wagn.pem >> wagn.chained.pem
cat GandiStandardSSLCA.pem >> wagn.chained.pem

Edit the Nginx config:

        #ssl_certificate  /etc/ssl/transitionnetwork.org/transitionnetwork.org.chained.pem;
        #ssl_certificate_key  /etc/ssl/transitionnetwork.org/transitionnetwork.org.key;
        ssl_certificate  /etc/ssl/wagn/wagn.chained.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key  /etc/ssl/wagn/wagn.key;

Edit the domain zone file to:

@ 10800 IN A 199.34.228.100
patterns 10800 IN A 81.95.52.111
www.patterns 10800 IN A 81.95.52.111
www 10800 IN A 199.34.228.100

From:

@ 10800 IN A 199.34.228.100
wagn 10800 IN A 81.95.52.111
www 10800 IN A 199.34.228.100
patterns 10800 IN CNAME patterns.transitionresearchnetwork.org.230.cldstr.com.

Now need to wait for it to propagate and then check.

[chris]

The DNS has updated and the site is now live on PenguinServer, ​https://patterns.transitionresearchnetwork.org/

The wiki page wiki:TransitionResearchWagn has been updated and I think this ticket is probably ready to be closed.

[chris]

To ensure that the WEBrick server starts after the server is rebooted I found the crontab we set up for trac on ticket:470#comment:30 and added that to the documentation for trac, wiki:PenguinServer#tech.transitionnetwork.org and set the same thing up for the wagn user:

# start wagn after a server reboot
@reboot /web/wagn/bin/wagn-start

And documented it wiki:TransitionResearchWagn#TransitionResearchPatterns

[chris]

The redirects to HTTPS for account Sign in and Sign up were not working, they have need fixed by changing the Nginx config and adding ^~ to the location for /account see ​http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#location

        # Redirect logins to HTTPS
        location ^~ /account {
                rewrite  ^(.*)$ https://$server_name$1 permanent;
        }

        # http://wiki.nginx.org/LikeApache 
        location / {
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
        }

[chris]

There have been no reported issues with the ​https://patterns.transitionresearchnetwork.org/ site so this ticket looks like it is safe to close.
