| == Virtual machines ==
| | This page is no longer maintained. |
|

|
| The Gbib is a ubuntu 13 linux with apache, mysql and the default tools. See [[Preparing_VirtualBox_images]]
| | Moved to [http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/genecats/index.php/Genome_Browser_in_a_Box_config] |
| | |
| Hgwdev has virtualbox installed and one virtual machine (VMs) added called "browserbox". It is the "master" image of the gbib and used by QA.
| |
| | |
| qateam has aliases to start and stop the VMs: boxStart / boxStop
| |
| | |
| Once started, browserbox listens at port 1234 for web requests and at 1235 for ssh
| |
| | |
| Development for the Gbib is a different business and described in [[Gbib development]].
| |
| | |
| == SSH into the box from hgwdev ==
| |
| From hgwdev, as qateam, you can do "ssh box" to connect to the box (this is configured in .ssh/config).
| |
| | |
| There is no password, because the qateam ssh key was added to the box.
| |
| | |
| == http access to the box from your desktop machine ==
| |
| | |
| browserbox accepts only connections from hgwdev, not from outside. You cannot connect from your desktop machine directly. So ssh on your desktop has to be told to forward two ports to hgwdev. To make this happen, add this to your file ~/.ssh/config (create it if necessary) on your own OSX or linux machine:
| |
| | |
| Host hgwdevtunnel
| |
| Hostname hgwdev.sdsc.edu
| |
| User <YOURHGWDEVUSER e.g. rhead>
| |
| #http
| |
| LocalForward 127.0.0.1:1234 127.0.0.1:1234
| |
| # RDP for box administrator
| |
| # LocalForward 127.0.0.1:3389 127.0.0.1:3389
| |
| # the following line is only needed for developers
| |
| # LocalForward 127.0.0.1:1236 127.0.0.1:1236
| |
| # the following line is only needed for developers that need to configure the devbox
| |
| # LocalForward 127.0.0.1:3390 127.0.0.1:3390
| |
| | |
| You can then do a "ssh devtunnel" to get connected to hgwdev and have the port 1234 on your machine 1234 forwarded to the box. Port 1234 is a http port, so you can then test the browserbox by pointing your browser on your desktop to http://127.0.0.1:1234

| == Box release overview ==
| |
| | |
| * during beta testing time, the update option "beta" on the box can pull in the beta CGIs that were compiled by the buildmeister
| |
| * at public release time, the box in this beta state is cleaned and zipped. This zip can be (optionally) tested on Windows or OSX. This can then be pushed to hgdownload.
| |
| | |
| For development see [[Gbib development]].
| |
| | |
| == Beta testing ==
| |
| | |
| Copy cgi-bin-beta from hgwdev into the beta distribution directory of the box:
| |
| | |
| ssh box updateBrowser beta
| |
| | |
| Setup the tunnel:
| |
| ssh hgwdevtunnel
| |
| | |
| Now you can test the beta CGIs via http://127.0.0.1:1234.
| |
| | |
| == Release ==
| |
| | |
| To release the box, run this as qateam on hgwdev:
| |
| boxRelease
| |
| | |
| This will ssh into the box, clean it (remove temp files, sessions, etc), stop it, zip it into a zipfile and place it onto hgwdev on http://hgwdev.soe.ucsc.edu/browserbox/browserbox.zip
| |
| This zipfile can then be pushed to hgdownload.
