D4Science Infrastructure

We take care of deploying war in the tomcat instance. No need for tomcat manager activated.

That should never happen in production.

Also, please fill in reasonable values for ram, cpu and disk space.

First, this application must be a SmartGears application.

If we want to use SmartGears is ok but then some context must be able to be called without token, i'm sure this is possible

Second, the application has to be released as a gCube application. It will be on Nexus. The difference is that we wish and need to update without waiting for the release closure.

Applicable for NLPHub not for the others derived from my prortytpe and developed by Clarin (Liner2, CSTLemma)

Third, each single exploitation of the application is not heavy but we hope to have several users accessing it. I increased the amount of CPUs for this reason.

what about load balancing it from the start? I guess that a new developed application will be load-balancer friendly.

They will never have a public distribution?

There is not load balancing need nor of 4 vCPUs need for me. All this web applications do is to take a text, construct a call (string concatenation) and invoke DataMiner which does the heavy process job, if any. Then get back an XML, parse it and display it. 4 CPUs is nonsense to do this.

They may, but we can't assume this.

As we discussed, all the applications should be installable from a public repository. I can create the VM in the meantime, but I don't see the advantage.

I still need the application contexts and the scopes.
If you still want to install the applications manually, this one can only be a dev VM, with dev scopes and a name in the dev domain.

There is no artifact:

you're looking in the wrong place and wrong name:

The answer when I run the playbook was:

************************************************************************
fatal: [nlp.d4science.org]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "dest": "/home/gcube/downloads/nlp.war", "msg": "Request failed", "response": "HTTP Error 404: Not Found", "state": "absent", "status_code": 404, "url": "http://ftp.d4science.org/apps/nlp.war"}

So, the app wasn't there or the file was not readable.

Nope, you used the name nlp.war instead of hub.war before

"url": "http://ftp.d4science.org/apps/nlp.war"}

Ops. Yes.

This site can’t be reached
nlp.d4science.org’s server IP address could not be found.
Go to http://www.d4science.org/
Search Google for nlp d4science org
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

but it works using the VPN (I'm at home) so I suppose it is a matter of minutes to make it working from my home as well.

Yes, the DNS servers have problems updating zones to the outside since some weeks.

There are a number of contexts that should be enabled (the one corresponding to the servlets of this webapp)

please see 3 url-pattern below

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>NLPServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/nlphub-servlet</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>NLPUploader</servlet-name>

    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>NLPMapper</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/nlphub-mapper-servlet</url-pattern>

</web-app>

Done.

Thanks, it works now. When is the SSL certificate (non self signed i mean) going to be available ?

The Nlphub on production is available at http://nlp.d4science.org/hub , soon over HTTPS too.

I really don't know. We are almost always over quota, so we'll have to wait several days. I cannot estimate it, it all depends by how many certificates are going to be renewed in the next days.
