Project Milestone 3 Peer Review

[hardikrakholiya]

I can see the latest HAProxy statistics related to load balancing at http://129.114.104.251:9000/haproxy_stats. We would like to use HAPrroxy in our 4th project milestone. So setting up load balancing on my local machine would be a good exercise for me. But will I be able to setup this up on my system? I don't have any VMs to spare at this moment. I have macOS. I am curious to see if I am able to setup Nextcloud on my laptop without setting up Airavata if at all possible.

I have ansible installed on my system. But have little idea how to use it.

@hardikrakholiya Yes you would be able to set-up the HA Proxy in your local machine, you can use an ubuntu image (VM) or a jet stream instance of ubuntu and follow our wiki, we have also documented the steps.

Nextcloud requires ubuntu 16.04 / 18.04 LTS (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/14/admin_manual/installation/system_requirements.html)

If you want to test it on your Mac then we suggest you to use the docker image of nextcloud that is publicly available at https://github.com/nextcloud/docker or else you can deploy it on the jet stream instance(ubuntu 16.04 / 18.04 LTS) through the automated ansible script documented at our project Milestone 3 Wiki. Please let us know of any issues that you will encounter.

@hardikrakholiya you will be able to test the auto deployment of Nextcloud server. For that you need to create on ubuntu/centos jetstream instance and provide the public ip of that instance in the following script: https://github.com/airavata-courses/airavata-nextcoud/blob/prashant_develop/dev-tools/ansible/hosts

provide the public ip, username as ansible user and password as ssh_pass, along with the minor tweaks in the path variable.

Let me know if you want to test it. I can help you with that.
