Migrate away from weegie.kde.org

Description

Services

  • packaging.neon (gitolite + cgit + ssh access to push + git://)
  • releases.neon (static file hosting of release metadata, hit at least once a day by clients, can't be signed and can't be redirected I think)

releases.neon

  • Only static files
  • Requires logging of HTTP requests (specifically their query parameters as they can contain a system-id identifying the installation)
  • Possibly requires a secondary service to process the logged requests, so e.g. a cron that throws the logged data at some other server

releases.neon is used by apps which use /etc/update-manager/meta-release to check for new releases. It has a unique URL added for the install so we can count the installs.

https://github.com/apachelogger/neon-install-counter is some code to read the web logs and publish a rest api thing

I'd like a nice pretty website with graphs and charts showing the number of installs

anyway something needs access to the web logs

packaging.neon now moved. mail sent to list with further information.

releases.neon still needs figuring out where to put I think @bcooksley ?

Yes, we still have to sort something else out for that.

As you need to log query parameters, may I suggest something in lightweight PHP / Python which dumps the needed info in an appropriate form into a database? This would be fairly easy for us to run and as a bonus could run the web frontend / API requirements as well off the same system.

Yeah, I wouldn't block on the log nonesense though. If we get the static files migrated and do simple static file hosting for now, that's good enough for me. @jriddell can have a look at reasonable ways to log at a later point.

Okay. The easiest way for us to run a basic static file served site is by having it's contents on a git repository on git.kde.org. The server will autoupdate when pushes are made.

Could we organise to migrate the contents of the repository?

I've now sorted out releases.neon.kde.org on IRC.
That completes everything needed from Sysadmin here I think?
