Upgrade beaker-project.osci.io

Quack @StykMartin ,

The VM is still running EL7 which is way out of support. I propose to provide a new VM using EL9 so that you can migrate over and then we'll remove the old one.

Regards.

Hi @duck-rh,

Sounds good, we will just need to transfer YUM repos and website and we good.

Quack,

I've setup a new machine and I'm working on modernizing the deployment in the beaker_el9 branch. I've used new IPs but I think we can switch to the old ones later on. I'm copied the Let's Encrypt files so that we can do full deployments.

Now we've got a blocker I'm looking at: rssh is not packaged in EL9 as it is not maintained anymore. More on this when I have some plan.

I synced the data in /var/www/www.beaker-project.org, also /srv/data is mounted on NFS, if there anything else I would have missed?

I replaced RSSH with an SSH command, so we may need to adapt the rsync server parameters but we're using this method elsewhere and it works fine. In practice it forces to sync options from client and server but it does not change very often.

I wondered where is the rsync being done; I thought it would be included in the website GH workflow but I cannot find it. Could you test if it still works using IP 8.43.85.152?

Also let's do some checks and when it's fine I'll switch IPs over to the old ones and I'll wait a little bit before removing the old VM.

@StykMartin I need your help to continue.

@StykMartin Could you have a quick look at it and tell me if I'm missing something? I can do the switch by myself and I'll keep the old VM around a little while just in case.

Hi @duck-rh, I am checking the 8.43.85.152 and the only thing I can see there is the default apache configuration.
Did you mirror everything?
Regarding the rssh/ssh commands, they were used in jenkins and those are not active at the moment, we can completely redesign this as we are building stuff in COPR now, different approach will be required.

@StykMartin it is only configured to reply to the www.beaker-project.org vhost. You can modify your /etc/hosts to override the IP or test using curl --resolve *:443:8.43.85.152 https://www.beaker-project.org/.

Ok, let's redesign the SSH part later.

Did I miss any other data to sync?
