Jasig has an Amazon EC2 instance that is integrated with our Bamboo build server. This EC2 instance is designated for live nightly builds and curated demos of Jasig projects. If your project is interested in getting a site setup please follow the instructions below and then pass the information on to infrastructure@lists.ja-sig.org

Live Site Build Requirements

To get a live build setup for a project a build script is required that does the following from an unmodified checkout from the Jasig SVN server:

  1. Stops the existing live site if it is deployed and running
  2. Creates a clean deployment of the project to an application server that Apache can be directed do either via mod_proxy or mod_proxy_ajp
  3. Starts the application server

For an example of such a script the uPortal assembly ant script can be used: https://source.jasig.org/uPortal/trunk/assembly/build.xml
For the uPortal live nightly build ant live-nightly-stop clean live-nightly live-nightly-start is run, which stops the tomcat instance if it is deployed, cleans all previously built content, builds a new live-nightly site and then starts tomcat. The live-nightly target includes logic that downloads and customizes a Tomcat instance.

Requesting a new Live Site

Please put together a document detailing your choices at each step of this process

Ports and IPs to Use

The following port and IP picking rules MUST be followed to ensure we can have multiple sites hosted on one machine without running into conflicts. The VV in the notes corresponds to the version of the project the site is for

  • uPortal Live nightly builds
    • 82VV - hsql
    • 81VV - tomcat ajp
    • 83VV - tomcat http
    • 80VV - tomcat shutdown
    • 127.0.8.VV - localhost mapping port
  • uPortal Live demos
    • 92VV - hsql
    • 91VV - tomcat ajp
    • 93VV - tomcat http
    • 90VV - tomcat shutdown
    • 127.0.9.VV - localhost mapping port
  • Other Projects
    • Add a project specific section here that uses a unique port prefix.
Determine the site name

The following site name guidelines have been established. For a new project please extend these guidelines to match and document it here.

  • uPortal Nightly live build - upVV-nightly.jasig.org
  • uPortal Live Demo - upVV-demo.jasig.org
Create Config Files
  • Copy up40-nightly.jasig.org-ssl.confand customize it to match the new site.
    • ServerName: up40-nightly.jasig.org to upVV-nightly.jasig.org
    • The subdirectory after ${APACHE_LOG_DIR} in the two error and custom log lines (there are 4 places to make the change): ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/up40-nightly/ to ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/upVV-nightly/
    • The proxy pass/reverse host and IP based: up40-nightly.local:8140 to upVV-nightly.local:81VV
Update hosts file

  • Look at hosts_additionwhich is appended to the servers hosts file and determine the two additional lines needed for the new site.

    127.0.8.VV upVV-nightly.local
127.0.8.VV upVV-nightly.jasig.org
