Ensure `mlab-ns` integration can be toggled off without disrupting "standard" Ooni deployment. #54

Closed nathan-at-least closed 10 years ago

The current deployment plan for mlab-ns integration is designed to be "hands-off" from upstream Ooni. This means, for example, it does not rely on any code changes to Ooni.

A key feature of this deployment is that it should be easy to disable mlab-ns integration, whether or not that's production mlab-ns or our testing simulator.

In our current design we think this will be as simple as commenting out a single crontab entry. Once we have a specific technique to disable mlab-ns integration, let's document it in the ooni-support README.md and then close this ticket.

The technique exists. We just need to document it.

I created a branch off of improve-readme-add-ooni-release-procedure-link called document-mlabns-simulator-in-readme that documents how to turn off the cron job. We can close this now.
