pdurbin: hi, and thanks!

If you have any questions about Dataverse, I'm all ears. :)
14:52 rebecabarros
Hi pdurbin, how are you? When/if you have a time could you help me through the steps to DCM installation? It is still a little fuzzy for me how to proceed.
14:53 pdurbin
rebecabarros: I can try but pameyer knows much more since he wrote the code and he just mentioned he's at "HMS IT Day".
14:54 pdurbin
this: https://hms.harvard.edu/harvard-longwood-campus-it-day-0
14:58 rebecabarros
I see. I'll wait until he's available. Thanks
14:59 pdurbin
rebecabarros: ok. Can you give me a hint about what the problem is? :)
15:01 pdurbin
You're our first non-pameyer customer. :)
15:02 pdurbin
And our second is Venki.
15:02 pdurbin
rebecabarros: did you see this great reply by pameyer to Venki? https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/mcji2ytn3QI/HLdkW2ewBAAJ
15:14 rebecabarros
I did saw. Glad that you guys are thinking about work with large files. Over here I expect to deal with files with 100gb or more.
15:14 rebecabarros
So, it's not a problem yet. I'm a little lost how to start the installation. The general steps would be: - install ansible in my server; - use secrets.yml.template to create secrets.yml file - edit my /etc/ansible/hosts file - run the playbook The playbook will install automatically the dependencies and so on?
15:40 pdurbin
rebecabarros: yep, that sounds right.
15:41 pdurbin
You don't *have* to use Ansible. You could look at the Ansible playbook to see what it's doing. Then you would run the steps manually.

rebecabarros: (and pdurbin) - I'm doing a little bit of documentation work in a branch off the main repo, to be merged in when it's finished
17:24 pameyer
but the short version is that there are a few functional bits of a DCM, ansible is one way to have them talk to each other - but doesn't have to be the only way
17:25 pameyer
and yes, I'm probably not going to be online too much today

100Gb datasets shouldn't be a problem, assuming the network and storage are up to it
17:56 rebecabarros
Thanks, pameyer. The only mention to my Dataverse instance is in secrets.yml, right? And the only thing that I have to change over there is :DataCaptureModuleUrl and :UploadMethods options? Meaning, I do not need to set my dataverse instance address to ansible itself.
17:59 pameyer
I'm not sure if I understand your question - but if you're asking if the dataverse instance needs to have been configured using ansible, it does not.
18:00 pameyer
the DCM `/hold` filesystem needs to be the same as the Dataverse file storage directory too (aka `-Ddataverse.files.directory`)
18:11 rebecabarros
Ok, I think I got it. I will try to do the installation and let you guys know how it goes. Thank you
18:32 pdurbin
thanks, rebecabarros
