Plan server migration to refactored codebase

    • Closed Issue created by Martijn Vermaat @m.vermaat.hg

    Need to plan this in advance. For now, some random points:

    We have some related scripts here: https://git.lumc.nl/mutalyzer/server-migration-2014

    Completed

    • Find a new home for CLI-mate.
    • Discuss any potential breakages with LOVD.
    • Perhaps create a mailing list mutalyzer-announce (and mutalyzer-user).
    • Use Ansible for server provisioning and deployment (see mutalyzer-deployment).
    • Find a way to clone from GitLab over SSH on the server (port 22 is closed). Alternatively, open the repository and use HTTPS. (The latter was done.)
    • Read through commit messages and pull requests linked to pull request !6 (merged).
    • Configure automatic database backups.
    • First test.mutalyzer.nl.
    • Have an announcement on mutalyzer.nl some time before.
    • Have a description of any user-visible changes on the wiki.

    In progress

    • Migrate mapping database (depends on #7 (closed)).
    • Migrate cache directory and GBInfo database.
    • Migrate stats database.
    • Upgrade server to Debian 7.

    Known backwards incompatible changes to be documented

    • HTTPS only with redirects from HTTP.
    • HTTP backdoors are removed.
    • Many website entrypoints have changed URLs and form parameter names, but have redirects.
    • JSON webservices have changed response formats.
    • Remove old /2.0/* redirects.
    • Remove old /projects/* Trac redirects.
    • Obsolete /getGS and /Variant_info?
    • ... (read through merge request !6 (merged) commit messages)
    • In maintenance mode, all requests get a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable response.
    To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information

      Concept announcement for the wiki:

      Mutalyzer 2.0.0

      We are planning to update mutalyzer.nl to Mutalyzer 2.0.0 on September 1. The anticipated downtime is 2 hours.

      This release does not bring many new features, but comes with significant changes to the technical infrastructure. Some highlights especially users of our webservices should be aware of:

      • HTTP/RPC+JSON webservice has changed response format (wrapper object removed).
      • No more plain HTTP access, only redirects to HTTPS.
      • Many website entrypoints have changed URLs and form parameter names (the old ones have HTTP redirects).

      For a complete list of changes, please consult the changelog.

      We already updated our staging server at test.mutalyzer.nl which can be used for testing purposes.
