saemref-formula

A saltstack formula handling installation of saem_ref.

The formula will run two web application server, one dedicated to OAIPMH request to serve /oai on port 8081 and one for other requests on port 8080.

To use them in a single port you may configure a reverse proxy, such as apache2 or nginx, on front of the instances.

Available states

• saemref
• saemref.install
• saemref.config
• saemref.db-create
• saemref.db-init
• saemref.supervisor

saemref

Equivalent to saemref.install and saemref.config.

saemref.install

Installs the saemref package from logilab repositories and create an instance for user saemref.

Cubicweb config files are located in ~saemref/etc/cubicweb.d/saemref and cubicweb-ctl can be invoked as user saemref with environment variable CW_MODE=user.

The state require the installation of epel-formula and postgres-formula with version 9.6 (see pillar.example).

saemref.config

Only manage instance configuration files.

saemref.db-create

Create instance database with cubicweb-ctl db-create (call implicitly db-init).

WARNING: this will destroy existing database if exists.

saemref.db-init

Initialize instance database schema with cubicweb-ctl db-init.

saemref.supervisor

Install and manage supervisor configuration for the saemref installation. Here is some useful commands:

• restart instance: supervisorctl restart saemref
• restart supervisor: systemctl restart supervisord

Requirements

If using postgres as database driver, ensure the postgres contrib package is installed on server side.

Recommended usage

Given target minion_id is 'srv'.

/srv/salt/top.sls:

base:
    'srv':
        - saemref
        - saemref.supervisor

/srv/pillar/top.sls:

base:
    'srv':
        - saemref

/srv/pillar/saemref.sls: see pillar.example

Example of reverse proxy configuration for nginx:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name saemref.example.com;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://srv:8080;
    }
    location /oai {
        proxy_pass http://srv:8081;
    }
}

For the first installation run salt srv state.sls db-create to create the database (WARNING: this will destroy existing database if exists).

Then run: salt srv state.highstate to finish the installation.

Upgrades

To force an upgrade to the latest version of saem-ref, connect to the minion as root, then run:

[root@minion] % salt-call state.sls saemref.upgrade

If upgrade process fails, a backup is created in /home/saemref/etc/cubicweb.d/saemref/backup

Testing

The script run-test.py can help to develop and test the formula using docker and testinfra.

The command ./run-test.py dev centos7 will build image from test/centos7.Dockerfile and span a shell in a new container with mounted volumes from the host (so you can develop formula on the host and test it in the container with salt-call).

The command ./run-test.py dev centos7 --salt is the same as above but will provision the container (eg. calling salt-call state.highstate)

The command ./run-test.py test centos7 -- test built a provisioned image (highstate) and run testinfra tests on it.

Note that you can add any parameters that testinfra (pytest) accept, for instance ./run-test.py test centos7 -- -k idempotence --pdb test.

Testing migration

Add dumps generated by cubicweb-ctl db-dump in the test/dumps directory, then:

# To test upgrade against latest public changeset of http://hg.logilab.org/master/cubes/saem_ref
./run-tests.py test centos7 -- test/test_migration.py --upgrade-revision master

# To test against any revision from http://hg.logilab.org/review/cubes/saem_ref
./run-tests.py test centos7 -- test/test_migration.py --upgrade-revision REV
