The server has been racked, plumbed for power, and documented in Racktables

Just to verify, the desired name is osgeo6?

Yes, osgeo6 works great as a name for the machine. Next step is to
provide Martin Spott with connection information to handle the
installation and setup (He's already in your VPN system).

Thanks,

Andrew,

We need to set up the oob, and send in a port request for this. When that's done, we'll need to update the VPN firewall to allow mspott access to the new IP.

Any update on this, or ETA?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

this week I'd like to migrate the GRASS and OpenLayers project public
sites from the "projects" VM over to the new "osgeo6" machine.
I chose these two because they both rely on a MySQL database and since
I dislike fiddling with MySQL I feel more comfortable to migrate
everything in one rush.

Objections ?
  Martin.

Mission accomplished - hopefully.
The respective maintainers (Openlayers doesn't look like there's a
maintainer ....) are advised to check what's missing or wrong.

Cron-Jobs on the "projects" VM for users martinl, neteler and
openlayers have been disabled - lines commented by me have "# MAS"
prepended. Please port the jobs you still need over to the "osgeo6"
host.

Cheers,
  Martin.

What's next, what about migrating Trac/SVN to the new hardware ?

Only OSGeo4 things are a priority before that hardware fails, OSUOSL
says the disk data indicates another disk failure is imminent.

So that includes Projects, QGIS, Adhoc and Mail.

Though we could decide to rebalance/swap some of those with things from
OSGeo3.

The big question I have is how we're going to provide some sort of
isolation between services to better prevent one bad service from taking
out the others.

Hi,

tonight I'd try to migrate the following sites from the "projects" VM
over to "osgeo6":

  docs.geotools.org
  www.geotools.org
  old.geotools.org
  www.featureserver.org
  geos.osgeo.org
  www.mapserver.org
  pycsw.org
  www.tilecache.org
  tilecache.osgeo.org
  www.gdal.org
  www.remotesensing.org

.... plus the corresponding server aliases.
I assume that's too much for a single evening, therefore I'd simply
migrate one after another until I fall asleep ....

Objections ?

  Martin.

pycsw.org has moved to GitHub pages so you need not migrate pycsw from
projects VM (I've updated [1] accordingly).

Note that demo.pycsw.org on the adhoc VM [2] will require migration
if/when/ever.

Cheers

Ah - ok, thanks.

There's still an active (!) Apache configuration for pycsw.org on the
Projects VM plus the corresponding directories and files, therefore I
wonder why people don't care about cleaning up their leftovers ....

Mea culpa; it starts with skepticism on how / if GitHub Pages will
work, followed by failing to remember :slight_smile:

Thanks for deactivating the pycsw.org Apache config on projects, I
have deleted /osgeo/pycsw as well as updated
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/ProjectsVM

Hi,

I just found out that we're having *local* per-project user accounts on
the "projects" VM. From my point of view the coexistence of distinct
types of user management is a potential source of confusion and
therefore I'd like to get rid of it.

As a solution I'd suggest the respective projects to register their
particular 'management' user accounts with OSGeo LDAP.

Cheers,
  Martin.

Morning,

just a quick notice to let you know what happened since yesterday -
I'll add this to the new OSgeo6 wiki page (thanks, Markus):

Migrated, including /home/geotools/, whereas the latter needs an OSGeo

  www.featureserver.org

Migrated without the Apache WSGI section but not yet switched in DNS
because:
FeatureServer requires mod_wsgi, which is fine, but doesn't work with
mod_python in the same Apache 2.4. mod_python is in use at a different
site, need to find how how to deal with it.

  geos.osgeo.org

Migrated, including cron-job - but it's just a redirect anyway.

  www.mapserver.org

Pending migration, has a huge directory containing three year old
cron-logs.

  pycsw.org

Purged according to Tom's EMail.

  www.tilecache.org
  tilecache.osgeo.org

Migrated.

  www.gdal.org

Migrated, including cron-job.

  www.remotesensing.org

Delayed, because I can't change the DNS record.

What is using mod_python? It's not currently maintained and should not
be used.

Or we could move all things requiring wsgi to gunicorn or uwsgi like I
did with sr.org in the past.
