Description

We have identified that the gis.csr.av domU has issues with the file system. It switches to read only at times (heavy load).

In order to mitigate the risks, the notebook server should be hosted in its own virtual machine (domU).

Beside, the plan is to install Gisaf/asyncio on it, in order to get notebooks compliant with the new Gisaf API.

History

#1 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Follow the instruction on https://redmine.auroville.org.in/projects/gis/wiki/CSR_server , with:

export vm_name=jupyter.csr.av
export vm_ip_addr=172.16.0.8
export vm_password=foobar
xen-create-image --broadcast=172.16.0.255 --dist=stretch --fs=ext4 --gateway=172.16.0.1 --hostname ${vm_name} --ip=${vm_ip_addr} --lvm=dream.csr --maxmem=512M --memory=256M --mirror=http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ --netmask=255.255.255.0 --password=${vm_password} --size=10G --swap=1G --vcpus=1 --bridge=br0

IP address (in /etc/systemd/network/50-wired.network): 192.168.0.19

Next: Ansible.

#2 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Ansiblizing (roles: avcan, nginx)

Turn it to Buster:

apt update
apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade
# Update /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update
apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade

#3 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Install Python 3.7:

apt install python3.7 python3.7-venv python3-venv

Jupyter (try the easy way first: Debian packages, which are up to date in Buster)

apt install jupyter jupyter-nbconvert jupyter-notebook
apt install python3-gdal python3-matplotlib python3-geopandas

We'll want to be able to install jupyterlab extensions, which require node+npm:

apt install node npm

#4 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Jupyterlab and other python packages from pypi:

pip3 install jupyterlab nest_asyncio

#5 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Gisaf

cd /usr/local/lib/
git clone git-av:gisaf gisaf_src
cd gisaf_src
# Jupyter notebooks are all set to use the (future) asyncio version, in the graphql branch as of now:
git checkout graphql
/usr/local/lib/gisaf_src# pip3 -e .

#8 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Install custom package: graphene-gino, quick and dirty development on my (Phil) machine.

mkdir /usr/local/lib/gisaf_misc

Copy from my laptop:

rsync -a graphene-gino root@jupyter.csr.av:/usr/local/lib/gisaf_misc

Then:

cd /usr/local/lib/gisaf_misc/graphene-gino
pip3 install -e .

#9 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Copy gisaf config in /etc/gisaf/prod.yml.

#10 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

There's a change to be done on gis2.csr.av (which should later become Gisaf production server): proxy the attachments of dashboards to jupyter.csr.av.

In /etc/nginx/sites-enabled, add:

    location /dashboard-attachment {
        proxy_pass http://jupyter.csr.av/dashboard-attachment/;
    }

#11 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Install contextily (to generate backgrounds on maps):

apt install cython3 libgeos-dev libproj-dev
pip3 install contextily

#12 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Install some Jupyter extensions:

jupyter labextension update --all

#13 Updated by Philippe May over 5 years ago

Finally, go to http://jupyter.csr.av and enjoy :)
