HostingStack build scripts

Base requirement: Debian wheezy, x86-64.

Preferably as a fast machine, VM is okay. At least 10G+ FREE disk space.

Preparations

• As a normal user, clone this repository to your Debian installation.
• Make sure this user can use sudo.
• Run cd hs-build && ./setup.sh

This will:

• Install dependency packages
• Configure pbuilder for building packages
• Set up hs-build/.mrconfig as a trusted config (in ~/.mrtrust)
• Check out the HostingStack source code to ./src
• Build shipped dependencies (Thrift)

Building packages

Run mr run build.

Building a demo VM

• Preparations above done.
• Ran mr run build once, successfully.
• Run ./build-vm demo.raw
  • or, for a VMware VM, run ./build-vm --format vmdk demo.vmdk
• Load demo.img (or demo.vmdk) in a Hypervisor of your choice, and give it some time to boot. 3GB RAM minimum.
• After bootup it will create templates, this will take some minutes.

If you have a Debian mirror near you, also set --mirror http://url.to.mirror/debian.

Demo VM Info

The default passwords are CHANGEME. This applies to user root (for SSH), and to the admin account ([email protected]) and the normal user ([email protected]).

SSL for applications is currently disabled. You can change this by editing /etc/hs/httpgateway/hs-httpgateway.conf.

In a production setup, the various services would be split over multiple machines.

Important ports:

• Port 9100, HTTP: Enduser control panel
• Port 9000, HTTP: Admin dashboard
• Port 80, HTTP: application port
• Port 443: HTTP/SSL: application port
• Port 2200: Enduser SSH
• Port 22: SSH for management (PAM auth)

Not-so-important ports:

• Port 9200: internal storage
• Port 3142: APT cache
• Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL run on their default ports
• Port 9090: HSAgent Thrift server
