Description
We need to test upgrade procedure of the webapp, hence various version of the app will be manually installed.
Current version in production environments is 2.1.2, so we'll be starting from that and upgrading step by step, up to version 2.10.1.
It will use postgres 8 for steps up to version (2.7) and then postgres 9. DB instances need postGIS extension.

The VM has been configured. Some notes:
- Both java 7 and java 8 have been installed. Java 7 is de default, because the old geoserver does not run agains java 8 if I remember well. And the new one does not work with java 7 :).
- geoserver 2.10 has been installed. I did it because the playbook also configures a data directory outside the geoserver webapp directory (it's
/srv/geoserver_data/). It also sets the variableGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/srv/geoserver_datato instruct the geoserver to use it. The definition is into the file/etc/default/tomcat-instance-9000.local. - There is a database on
postgresql-srv-dev.d4science.orgwith the postgis extension active. The DB name and user name isgeoserver1devup - You can use one of the old geoserver database servers to load an old database.
- I did not install a jdbc driver, because a modern one will not work well with postgresql 8 and vice versa.
- There's http -> https redirection but no valid certificate yet. It will be automatically installed in the next few days.

Seems ok. I'm gonna re open this ticket in case some misconfiguration is found.
