01:36 pdurbin If I keep https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/created_by/pdurbin down to 25 it all fits on one page. :)

13:58 jri Thanks :)
14:09 donsizemore joined #dataverse
14:10 donsizemore @pdurbin morning. is that a "maybe" because you'd rather go the docker route, or because my work woefully terrible =)
14:19 pdurbin donsizemore: heh. I don't know what I want. That's the problem. :)
14:20 pdurbin jri: can you please take a look at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2603 ?
14:22 jri Hi pdurbin, I didn't know the existence of this issue
14:22 jri rmo is in holidays
14:23 jri He'll be back soon
14:24 jri I'm sysadmin and not a enduser of dataverse, unfortunately I'm scared this is not of my resort
14:25 pdurbin jri: no worries. The other one I wanted to ask him about is https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2604
14:27 pdurbin I'm a former sysadmin. Well, I still have VM on Digital Ocean. Old habits are hard to break. :)
14:27 pdurbin And I still hang out in #crimsonfu: http://crimsonfu.github.io
14:29 jri Ah cool!
14:31 jri I'm still a beginner in CM world
14:32 jri But I'm trying to convert myself in a devops way
14:34 jri I am very attentive to the Dataverse Docker containers
14:34 jri hope I can contribute to it some day...
14:35 pdurbin I've use Puppet, Ansible, and Salt, but only a bit.
14:36 pameyer joined #dataverse
14:36 pdurbin jri donsizemore have you seen this issue about Docker? https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/3938
14:36 pdurbin pameyer has already commented on it. Good morning!
14:37 pameyer morning
14:38 pameyer yeah, I hit something odd with trying to do postgresql in docker with persistent storage for the tablespace directories and ran into some issues
14:38 jri No i didn't see it, that's cool!
14:38 pameyer might've been due to my newbie-ish docker skills
14:40 pdurbin bjonnh: that reminds me... How did your Docker build go with Solr 5? You were talking about it at http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2017-06-22#i_53550
14:42 pdurbin donsizemore: do you think we should try to get a Dataverse dev environment working in Docker?
14:44 donsizemore @pdurbin it would offer a lower barrier of entry than with vagrant/virtualbox
14:45 bjonnh pdurbin: I have to rebuild the dataverse image
14:45 bjonnh will know soon
14:45 pdurbin donsizemore: you think so? I'm so used to Vagrant and so unused to Docker that I have no idea.
14:46 pdurbin Which open source project has the best Docker experience for developers?
14:46 donsizemore @pdurbin though vagrant is less known and less popular, it doesn't get its filesystem wedged the way docker tends to
14:47 bjonnh I almost never used vagrant, because I was running qemu and most vagrant things at that time worked only with virtualbox
14:47 bjonnh also docker is likely to be faster
14:47 bjonnh because no virtualization involved
14:47 bjonnh even if I think vagrant has a docker support somewhere
14:47 bjonnh pdurbin: so with solr5 dataverse starts
14:48 bjonnh I don't know if it means anything or not :p
14:48 bjonnh oh no
14:48 bjonnh " <p>Problem accessing /solr/update/json. Reason:"  <pre>    Not Found</pre></p><hr><i><small>Powered by Jetty://</small></i><hr/>
14:52 donsizemore @pdurbin if you want to fork Craig's stuff or put it someplace semi-official I'm happy to take a crack at it. or should I do it on my own?
14:54 bjonnh also some fields seem to have really huge name "psql:createDDL.sql:17: NOTICE:  identifier "index_foreignmetadatafieldmapping​_foreignmetadataformatmapping_id" will be truncated to "index_foreignmetadatafieldmappin​g_foreignmetadataformatmapping_""
14:55 bjonnh donsizemore: I'm using the ndslabs dockers for now
14:57 bjonnh making a docker-compose
15:06 pameyer joined #dataverse
15:07 donsizemore @bjonnh cool. i just made my own fork to play with - removing the iRODS bit
15:09 pdurbin donsizemore: rather than forking Craig's stuff do you want to use https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-aws as a starting point? There's a folder called "docker" in there.
15:10 donsizemore @pdurbin oh, nice. however, craig's stuff is much more complete?
15:10 bjonnh it seems so
15:10 bjonnh maybe we can merge things a bit
15:10 bjonnh I would like to get it working on aws too
15:11 pdurbin I don't know which one is more complete. Please pick the fastest horse. :)
15:12 pdurbin We will ride it to victory.
15:14 donsizemore @pdurbin @bjonnh i'm poking at craig's stuff minus iRODS in my own fork, if anyone likes it they're welcome to grab it or suggest changes. though i am off to pho in a few
15:15 bjonnh donsizemore: could we just make iRODS an option?
15:15 donsizemore @bjonnh oh, it's already in there as a preservation strategy. i removed it as unnecessary overhead for development
15:16 donsizemore @bjonnh IIRC it currently uses a webdav mount, which won't scale well. we'd like to expand on the swift interface work, jon's got a grant proposal in for that
15:17 donsizemore @pdurbin p.s. thanks for mentioning the DDI Explorer stuff on github this morning - we're tinkering with the drop-down to enable multiple exploration methods
15:18 bjonnh donsizemore: also the idea (at least for me) was to have a specific dockerfile that can build any tagged version of the git repo
15:18 donsizemore @bjonnh yes yes excellent
15:23 bjonnh stupid question, how do I create an initial user?
15:24 jhand joined #dataverse
15:25 bjonnh oh nevermind
15:28 bjonnh no I can't find the default username
15:29 pameyer joined #dataverse
15:35 bjonnh I found it in the db, but obviously the script didn't do its job to set the password
15:36 bjonnh ok looks like it was setting an empty password…
15:47 pameyer bjonnh: was this one of the released scripts, or one of the mods?
15:49 bjonnh mods
15:50 pameyer gotcha - thanks
15:50 bjonnh well I can't login with their approach
15:55 pameyer that's not good
15:56 pameyer I've lost context - which one are you looking at?
15:58 bjonnh ndslabs
16:03 bjonnh I'll have to debug that
16:03 bjonnh how do I test solr?
16:04 bjonnh or how would I know if it is setup correctly and working?
16:07 pameyer I think the index page doesn't work correctly without solr - but pdurbin would know better than me
16:08 pameyer I was slightly puzzled that I wasn't sure *where* the default admin password should get set
16:08 bjonnh hah
16:08 bjonnh yeah there are these scripts that setup them
16:08 bjonnh using curl etc
16:09 bjonnh ok so solr5 doesn't work
16:09 bjonnh Problem accessing /solr/spell
16:09 bjonnh etc
16:09 pameyer unfortunate but good to know
16:16 pdurbin bjonnh: there are some tips for testing Solr at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.7/developers/dev-environment.html#installing-and-running-solr
16:16 pdurbin http://localhost:8983/solr/#/collection1/query
16:16 pdurbin http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=*%3A*&wt=json&indent=true
16:17 pdurbin http://localhost:8983/solr/schema/fields
16:17 pdurbin etc
16:21 bjonnh "The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request"
16:22 pdurbin yikes
16:30 bjonnh I'm excited by that: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-container
16:30 bjonnh If I can ansible everything, it means that once and for all, we would have exactly the same setup files for aws, docker, vagrant,…
16:31 pdurbin huh, "a tool to build Docker images and orchestrate containers using only Ansible playbooks"
16:31 pdurbin bjonnh: you know that donsizemore is the author of https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-ansible right?
16:33 bjonnh nope
16:34 pdurbin And I use Ansible scripts at https://github.com/pdurbin/dataverse-osx-playbook
16:36 bjonnh donsizemore: what's your thought on that?
16:37 bjonnh donsizemore: using something as https://opensolitude.com/2015/05/26/building-docker-images-with-ansible.html
16:39 jri joined #dataverse
16:51 pameyer joined #dataverse
16:53 pameyer FYI - ansible for docker works pretty well.  not sure about that repo though (aka - haven't used it, might be cleaner than how I've done it)
16:56 donsizemore @bjonnh the link above recommends using the command module instead of ansible's built-in docker dooflotchy. which is more granular, anyway
