The deployment is handled by a python script executed in the fabric framework. Install the fabric framework using

sudo apt-get install fabric

To list all commands supported by the fabric deployment script use the following command:

root@graswww2:/tmp# fab -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py -l
Available commands:

    backup_gbgp                    backup existing gbgp files

To specify the target host use the -H option. Valid hosts are graswww and graswww2 . E.g. to update website on graswww use:

fab -H graswww -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py update_website

As a general rule changes should be deployed and checked on the secondary webserver graswww2 before deployment on the primary webserver graswww.

The source code to the script is available here : browser:/sys_scripts/trunk/deploy_romsaf_web.py

Website Updates, Minor Changes

Use the following procedure to upload small changes to the operational website:

  1. examine current status of the website
  2. make a dry-run to see how the changes will uploaded
  3. if everything looks ok, make the actual upload

The above procedure should be run first on the secondary webserver web2 and second on the primary webserver web1.

To examine the current status run::

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py status

To make a dry-run use:

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py update_website_dry_run

To install updates run:

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py update_website

If necessary revert the changes using:

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py update_website_rollback

ROPP deployment

ROPP can be deployed using the following command:

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py deploy_ropp

The command will call prepare_ropp and backup_ropp and install the new ROPP version.

In case of errors use:

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py restore_ropp

To rollback the changes

GBGP deployment

GBGP can be deployed using the following command:

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py deploy_gbgp

The command will call prepare_gbgp and backup_gbgp and install the new GBGP version.

In case of errors use:

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py restore_gbgp

To rollback the changes

Website Deployment, Major Change

For major website releases e.g. version changes from 3.0 to 3.1. First the version needs to be tagged and the file https://svn.grassaf.org/garf/branches/operational/externals.txt needs to be updated with the tagged name and checked in.

Then run:

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py deploy_website

Update Preop Website from SVN changes

To apply updates to pre-operational page from SVN changes run (in web2):

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py update_preop_website

If necessary revert the changes using:

fab -H web2 -f /usr/local/bin/deploy_romsaf_web.py update_preop_website_rollback
