man i can't do it

i would but wife is passed out basically sick from insomnia

thanks for trying. I appreciate it. good luck with the one woman horror show. :)

i can't just dip - that would be way too shady

well there's two actually if you count my wife ;-)

lol

thankfully she's sleeping. :)

ruaok: do we have a running nginx on hobbes?

we do not. we need to bug djce about that today.

want me to push my stats branch so you can keep playing with it?

might be a good starting point.

ok we gotta head out

his email is still not here...

when he gets back, can someone ask him to text or call 781-249-1362? thanks

alastairp: kurtjx ^

sweet

Is there anyway to check if a file is under debian management?

like the inverse of dpkg -L ?

-S

ta

lfranchi: mail arrive

?

[19:39] lfranchi: when he gets back, can someone ask him to text or call 781-249-1362? thanks

ruaok: that was for you

thanks nikki.

nikki: are any of the proposed meeting times acceptable to you?

all of them

%T!

nikki: thanks!

djce: we have two things for you.

one I got two backup disk reminders. one for sex, one for drugs.

which one should I heed?

Ah. Should be SEX, shouldn't it? It's because I ran the script twice not once.

and the script says, "if it's Monday, rotate the disks".

djce: while you're here, how do I setup the "supervise" directory in /usr/local/mb_server-fastcgi?

SEX sounds right.

djce: and over to ocharles for the second issue.

ocharles: ignore it.

it's created automatically.

djce: it won't let me start the service without it

we need to expose hobbes port 80 and change test.mb.org to point from lingling to hobbes.

but I'm probably doing it wrong :)

I've added the initscript and the service run file to git

Is this on hobbes?

yea

see /usr/local/mb_server-fastcgi and the same /etc files as lingling

I've tried to copy the layout and links

Roughly the way to set up a daemontools service is:

- choose a directory, mkdir it (usually supervise will run as root, so do all this as root)

mkdir "log"

create executables called "run" and "log/run"

(one runs the service, one runs the logger to handle the service's stdout)

ah, missed the logger, but ok

Symlink the service dir into the svscan directory, e.g. "ln -s $PWD /etc/service/"

Wait up to 5 seconds.

Service starts.

done.

If you want the service to be stopped by default (e.g. to be started by something else, perhaps something in init.d), "touch ./down"

ok, that's all pretty simple

but I wonder what's missing that's stopping the fastcgi workers to spawn now

Is it meant to be running right now?

well, I'd like it to :)

Then I was going to use curl against localhost to make sure it was all working, then we can expose it

The fact that daemontools isn't installed on hobbes yet :-)

I just installed that though I thought

hrm.

ah, /me checks...

yea, it's installed

daemontools-run

Ubuntu splits it into two packages: daemontools == just the toolset, daemontools-run == actually runs it.

ah

ok, got run - do I need to start a service?

hmm, not sure. /me reads docs

it only gives the update-service binary it seems

"sudo start svscan" would be my guess

(or reboot :-)

heh

no errors now

not working though...

ps -C readproctitle ww

mm, no logs either

You have no "run" script yet

and log/run needs chmod +x

oops, it's called mb_server

Often a good idea to test by hand first:

oh wait no, I didn't link it

svc -d . log

cd log ; echo test | ./run

cd ..

./run

^C

then when it all looks good, svc -u . log

ok

now to figure out how this local::lib stuff will work :)

<3 local lib

awesome eh?

eval `perl -Mlocal::lib`

done/done

not quite here though...

doh

local::lib is setup as the musicbrainz user

I can't seem to get it to import environment variables into the correct environment in our runscript

ah, yeah

can you put it in .bash* ?

roots?

we have a run script and I tried putting it in there, but it doesn't seem to do anything

"eval $(perl -I/home/musicbrainz/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)"

you start it as root and it drops to teh mb user?

yea, in an exec block

but that eval is outside the exec

maybe that's why?

hrm

yes

it's also before setuidgid

you need the environment inside the setuid

I think

maybe you can pass an environment parameter?

djce: halps! :)

can you see /usr/local/mb_server-fastcgi/run?

gist the startup script?

setuidgid: fatal: unable to run eval: file does not exist

ocharles: try something like:

exec setuidgid musicbrainz bash -c '

eval foo

whatever

set up stuff

'

yeah

or, create a script under mb_server which assumes only that the uid and cwd is correct, then sets up the env and execs fastcgi.

or, you may be able to get rid of the evan $()

er, the eval

since then it'll be like going

FOO=1 echo $FOO

I've addressed this before by creating a script called (say) with-local-lib

which does stuff like the eval, then execs "$@"

you just set the environment for the fgci script

I think we'll need to do that

now local::Lib is trying to create /root/perl5 as the musicbrainz user, which doesn't work either

then you write: setuidgid foo with-local-lib fastcgi.pl ...

don't assume $HOME is set up.
