Thank you!
I am going to build this tonight around midnight after the updates. I apologize for the delay. I was swamped last night.
I got as far as I could tonight. I will work on this later today.
Is this sandbox server ready to go? Should I stage borg theme updates here? (If so, I would need some creds)
I don't think we have a sandbox server. Just commit your changes to a new branch and ping me when they are ready for review.
Ack, I apologize for the delay. I will work on the server this evening.
Okay, here we go.
Completed the following tasks:
TO DO:
Will this be an exact copy of the other server? Will it have api.backdropcms.org and forum.backdropcms.org too, so we can use it to test bakery module?
Oh, it is a new server build with updated nginx, mariadb, etc.
However, I can also make a clone of the server that has forum.backdropcms.org too.
Cancel the request for the public keys. I found your keys on one of the other servers, created the user and tested.
We only have one other server.... in a perfect world, this would be an exact copy of that one. Can we do that with linode?
Yes, I will create a clone of the VM this evening. If I run into a snag, I will ask linode to push it along. They have helped me with this before.
To clone the server, I will need to halt it for probably an hour. The clone process will not run on a running VM. I will do so tonight around midnight. I will perform a manual backup of the server image also prior to halting the VM.
Ah okay. Are there smarter ways to copy a whole server? I expect we may need to do this again every so often :)
Looks like they have a new Images section but it is in beta. I think we can use Docker but I will look into it.
Starting the clone process. Estimated 38 minutes to go.
The new clone server is up and running. I had to enable "Auto-configure Networking" in the profile and reboot to gain access to it. This setting is not enable by default and leaves our new baby clone without a public IP as I found using a glish session.
@jenlampton Would you like for me to delete the sandbox server I created last weekend?
Yes, if you think we won't need it :)
It could be helpful. But I can always make another one.
Will you be needing any domain or sub domain configured in Nginx? Such as test.backdropcms.org or something?
yeah, can we do them all with a new subdomain test.? Something like...
test.www.backdropcms.org test.api.backdropcms.org test.forum.backdropcms.org
And we should probably password protect them too... but I wonder how that will affect the bakery testing. Maybe not yet :)
I can make the changes in Nginx but I do not have access to the DNS. If you want to send me the credentials, I can make the A records or just send me a list of the A records that were created.
I don't have DNS access. @quicksketch ?
I am going to go ahead and take down the new server I created that we are not using to save confusion later.
I took down the host that was not being used after months of being shutdown.
For now, I think that it is okay to make /etc/hosts entries for the domain and subdomains when folks are working with this host.
Should it be decided that test URLs are needed, let's open a new issue for that.
No further tasks. Closing...
@jenlampton Requested that I build a new Sandbox server on Linode and document the build using Ansible and/or Linode StackScripts.
Thought I would make a ticket to track progress.
