repo00

This machine is a RHEL7 system not under Puppet control. This machine has no AFS dependencies. The basic service provided by this system is: httpd

This machine acts as a mirror for the RHEL7 iso images.

The installer iso images are downloaded from https://id-sat-prd.ethz.ch/pub/isos/ and put into /var/www/html/iso manually

The iso images in /var/www/html/iso then (automatically) mounted as loop devices by the pli-mount-iso-images.service. This is an enabled service and it runs once on system boot automatically. Otherwise changes are not monitored, if one puts an iso there and wants it mounted, a manual restart of the service is required for anything to happen.

The pli-repo-mirror.timer runs a daily sync (at 21:30), which pulls the repos into /var/www/html/el7/sources . The name is misleading, these are actually all the latest repos.

From the above, a weekly snapshot (at Sun 23:30) is taken by the pli-repo-snapshot.timer.

The /opt/pli/libexec/pli-repo-zoom.sh is run via the pli-repo-zoom.timer timer, it maintains the zoom repo at /var/www/html/zoom/

The /opt/pli/libexec/pli-repo-yfs script is run via the pli-repo-yfs.timer timer. It syncs the auristor repo and apparently also create tags.

The scripts and files in /opt/pli (as well as a copy of the systemd files) can be found in this repository: https://git.psi.ch/linux-infra/repo00_pli-scripts

Provided http services:

[root@repo00 ~]# netstat -tulnp | grep http
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      11278/httpd

[root@repo00 ~]#

The httpd configuration can be found in /etc/httpd/conf.d

[root@repo00 ~]# ls -l /etc/httpd/conf.d/

The ssh certificate is located in /etc/pki/tls/

Directory Structure / Services

Questions / TODO

  • I added the /opt/pli directory under git control, the repo is https://git.psi.ch/linux-infra/repo00_pli-scripts. Ideally the pli-* service files in /etc/systemd/system should be replaced with links to the /opt/pli/systemd/pli* files. Could you please do that and test whether things still work.

    • SELinux is enforcing, this will not work.
  • Can you explain a little bit more the structure of the /var/www/html/ directory (what is where, who is responsible for certain directories, what are they needed for, ...). The content of the web directory:

[root@repo00 ~]# ls -la /var/www/html/

  • el7 - where the automated mirroring and snapshotting is done
  • iso - where the images are placed and mounted
  • zoom - zoom repo

The rest were put there by hand. Much of it is probably not needed, but wouldn't know who needed them.

  • Is there any additional documentation on how this system was set up? Where can I find this? If not, could you add here some more details which packages and configs are important (beside the /opt/pli scripts/services)

    • I know of no further documentation and it was set up by Kai, years ago. It would take quite a bit of trial and error to reproduce.
  • Is the mentiond httpd config everything that is needed, who is taking care of this certificate, how is it installed? how is the expiration monitored?

    • I don't think anything further is needed. The cert is requested from SWITCH and placed here manually. It is not monitored. The owner/admin of this server must take care of this.
  • Could you replace the files in /etc/httpd/conf.d/25* with a link to /opt/pli/httpd/25* and see whether things still work (this way also the httpd config would be versioned).

  • No, SELinux.

  • Who belongs this repo? https://repo00.psi.ch/mt86/ (I guess mt86 is a person short code - unfortunately I cannot find this code in the phonebook)

    • It's memory test for x86 systems, not a person at PSI.
