anyone know how I would point to a solr installed on a separate aws ec2 instance instead of the local dv web server? do I just install solr the same on the new instance and then point dv to the new instance (via public dns)? where in dv is that configuration?
05:30 nightowl313
figuring this all out one piece at a time =)

Hello world.

Hi
11:46 pdurbin
whoops, missed nightowl
11:55 Benjamin_Peuch
Why were you shooting at them? Don't hunt owls!
12:03 pdurbin
Heh. Just checking the backlog: http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2020-01-10#i_116222
12:04 pdurbin
The answer is :SolrHostColonPort - http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.18.1/installation/config.html#solrhostcolonport
12:05 pdurbin
Of course, we have a load of new Solr security notices in our latest release about running Solr over a network. It needs to be locked down as much as possible.

Benjamin_Peuch: I announced the fringe event here. Hope it looks ok: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/Vxylnd-gMBo/BXp6EnJSBwAJ
13:06 Benjamin_Peuch
Wonderful. Thanks a lot pdurbin. :)
13:07 pdurbin
Sure! Any guesses on how many people will be there?

Yeah, disconnects are a known issue. :( Please see https://github.com/IQSS/chat.dataverse.org/issues/3
13:17 Benjamin_Peuch69
No biggie. Thanks for the link.
13:22 pdurbin
sure

Hi pdurbin, I saw your mail yesterday. I haven't been able to look deeper, because I switched desks today and continue to configure my new laptop
14:37 poikilotherm
Maybe I find some time this evening
14:37 poikilotherm
When are you about to head out of office?
14:38 pdurbin
I should be here another 7 hours or so.
14:44 pdurbin
donsizemore: mornin'. Want me to see if Slava has time to join us in here to talk about a cert for http://weblate.dataverse.org ? Sometimes I message him on Skype.
14:44 donsizemore
@pdurbin that sounds fine with me
14:45 pdurbin
I just sent him a text in Skype and noticed that yesterday he sent me some good news about Selenium tests.
14:46 pdurbin
donsizemore: do you have ssh access to the weblate server?
14:48 donsizemore
@pdurbin let me check
14:50 pdurbin
thanks
14:50 donsizemore
i don't think i have the pem
14:51 pdurbin
Ok. I haven't heard from Slava on Skype yet. I'll keep you posted.
14:51 donsizemore
(as in, i intentionally didn't keep it? maybe i should've)
14:51 pdurbin
did it bring you joy?
14:55 donsizemore
@pdurbin guess not. i didn't even keep the attachment in my e-mail
14:59 pdurbin
ok :)
15:00 pdurbin
donsizemore: oh, I wanted to ask you what you think about the new Python installer? It looks like you were able to remove so code from dataverse-ansible in your branch, which seems like a win to me.
15:05 donsizemore
it's great so far. i was going to whine about a combination of two options but it's... whiny
15:05 pdurbin
once we get it merged you can make it awesome :)
15:06 donsizemore
specifying --config_file doesn't implicitly specify --noninteractive
15:06 donsizemore
but that separation was likely on purpose
15:06 pdurbin
Hmm. Might be worth asking about if you feel like it.
15:07 donsizemore
i was going to try --noninteractive without specifying --default_config next

15:13 nightowl313
pdurbin: thank you! re: solr ... not sure how I missed that!
15:14 donsizemore
@nightowl313 not to ask the obvious, but you did firewall the stuffins out of solr?
15:14 pdurbin
nightowl313: no worries. That's why we're here. :)
15:17 nightowl313
i haven't installed it all yet...but I will. We are using aws and security groups, so will specify port and IP ...what else should I do?
15:19 donsizemore
@nightowl313 just verify that only dataverse may talk to solr
15:20 donsizemore
@nightowl313 and i'm poking around re: Dataverse in AWS, I'd be interested in your setup and your experience
15:26 nightowl313
well, i'm just trying to figure it out...should I follow the same procedure (SolrHostColnPort)?
15:27 nightowl313
i'm pretty much just installing solr as usual (per the installation instructions) on the new ec2, and then using SolrHostColnPort to point to it, right?
15:28 pdurbin
yep
15:28 nightowl313
and then locking it down? in aws I can create a security group to lock traffic to only that coming from the DV security group
15:28 pdurbin
yes, please lock it down
15:29 pdurbin
we've had both servers and laptops hacked that were running Solr without a firewall
15:30 nightowl313
will definitely install a firewall, add a rule for it, AND use a security group!
15:30 nightowl313
thank you so much
15:30 nightowl313
with all of the help...one of these days maybe I can help someone!
15:34 pdurbin
nightowl313: out of curiosity, why put Solr on a separate server?
15:35 nightowl313
just separating out the main components for performance (and it looked like that's "standard") ... is it better to keep it on the same server?
15:35 nightowl313
does harvard have it on the same server? I was looking at the diagram in the docs
15:40 pdurbin
I think either way is fine. Performance seems like a good reason. I forget what we do for Harvard Dataverse. I know we have two Glassfish servers, which adds some complexity.
15:41 pdurbin
That diagram is from back when we were on physical hardware.
15:42 pdurbin
And now we use RDS instead of running Postgres ourselves.
15:44 pdurbin
nightowl313: have you seen our new map? Do you want to be on it? https://dataverse.org/installations
15:45 nightowl313
I am using RDS, too...
15:45 pdurbin
cool
15:45 nightowl313
we are just in a pilot phase at this point, but I know we will want to be on the map once we actually get a live public dataverse
15:46 nightowl313
does running RDS eliminate the need/benefit of running Solr separately?
15:48 pdurbin
No, it's unrelated. I just thought to mention it because I looked at that old diagram. :)
15:50 nightowl313
oh ha! Okay...thanks
15:50 nightowl313
will there be any january community meetings? I really want to start attending those
15:51 pdurbin
nightowl313: there's nothing listed at https://dataverse.org/community-calls right now but in our internal calendar I see the first one should be on Tuesday at 10am Boston time. Or I guess you could attend the one the night before for the folks mostly on the other side of the world.
15:53 pdurbin
Or both. :)
15:53 nightowl313
okay, sounds good...thanks!
16:13 pdurbin
