nrcernaACTION waiting for jelkner11:09

nrcernaok11:12
nrcernaNWD site cleanup and / or documentation? I need info. (ubuntourist) 11:12
ubuntouristSo, last week I was able to login to ams@novawebdevelopment.org11:13
ubuntouristToday I'm getting a "Connection refused"11:13
ubuntouristBut when I was looking last week I was hopelessly confused:11:13
ubuntouristThere appears to be at least three places where the root of our site lives. 11:14
ubuntouristOne was /srv something, another was /var/www/html (I think) and I forget the third.11:14
*** hrodriguez has joined #novawebdev11:15
ubuntouristSo, either remove the dead branches or document what is where and what is live.11:15
jelknerA man with one watch always knows what time it is. A man with two is never really sure.11:15
ubuntourist(And why am I getting "connection refused" today? Is the site down? I THINK I may be able to check that.)11:15
GFbotubuntourist, it is your ssh key added?11:16
ubuntouristGFbot, As I say, it worked last week. So, yes. I have not changed my key.11:16
ubuntouristACTION is done for the moment, but awaiting info and / or cleanup.11:17
jelknerso hrodriguez an jelkner are back11:18
GFbotubuntourist, maybe you got ban ip for too many attempts11:18
GFbotor something like that11:18
jelknernrcerna, feed us the items any way you wish11:18
nrcernanext item: Planning for NOVALACIROS Website (nrcerna11:18
jelknerok, no need to take too much time11:18
jelknernrcerna, as we discussed this morning, SITarabuta_ should work with hrodriguez on that11:19
jelknerbringing in design help from you, nrcerna 11:19
nrcerna+111:19
SITarabuta_+111:19

jelknerACTION done11:20
nrcernaI'm going to share with you the assets SITarabuta_ 11:20
nrcernaafter the meeting11:20
SITarabuta_alright11:20
nrcernaSo jelkner the next is yours11:20
nrcernaTalk briefly about Pamela McCelland (from Gallaudet) email and contract signing.11:20
jelkneri only wanted to mention one thing on this to see if everyone agrees11:21
jelknerour operating agreement says any one of us can sign a contract11:21
jelknerbut to ease workflow, i'm proposing that in general i do it11:21
jelknerthe one that came from Pamela11:22
jelknerrequires Louie to sign11:22
jelknerthat won't work11:22
jelknerwe need to fix that11:22
jelknerthat's the one for Sound Advice11:22
jelknerso the legacy info they have keeps haunting us11:22
jelkneranyway, Susan has me listed11:23
jelknerso we're good11:23
jelknerACTION done11:23
ubuntouristMy belief is that it will be less confusing to Gallaudet to have one point of contact for a single organization. jelkner SEEMS like the logical choice.11:23
nrcerna+111:23
GFbot1+11:23
ubuntourist(I would say that I am, except that there are rules about "double-dipping" -- working for a place after retiring and thus getting paid twice.)11:24
nrcerna+111:24
nrcernais this item done?11:25
jelknerlooks done to me11:25
nrcernaanyone else?11:25
ubuntouristI am receiving retirement money, and NOVA Web Development is receiving the contract money, even some or most ends up in my pocket. Keeping those separate is a legal fantasy, but it works.11:25
ubuntouristACTION is done11:25
nrcernagreat, lets continue with you ubuntourist 11:26
nrcernaNWD site cleanup and / or documentation11:26
ubuntouristI think that is now a post-meeting thing. I've "said my piece" on it11:26
nrcernaOk,11:27
ubuntouristand it will take a bit of back-and-forth with GFbot and / or others to work out the kinks.11:27

ubuntourist!remind 2019.11.10 Chair = GFbot11:57
"2019.11.10 Chair = GFbot" added to message queue11:57
ubuntouristSee my previous message above: I'm back in.11:57
ubuntouristGFbot, see previous message ("I'm back in" 11:56:16)11:58
GFbotubuntourist, im confused11:59
ubuntouristGFbot, confused about what? I successfully ssh'd in after you rebooted. I'd like to know when and why it died.12:02
ubuntouristGFbot, I'm confused about which directories contain the actual NOVA Web Development stuff and how they interact with Apache and Django and Tendenci. 12:03
GFbotubuntourist, oh got it12:03
GFbotcool12:03
ubuntouristGFbot, Why are there multiple copies of what appear to be the NWD site on novawebdevelopment.org?12:03
GFbotubuntourist, our site12:04
GFbotis on /opt/12:04
GFbotwhat you see in /srv/ is deprecated12:04
ubuntouristGFbot, /opt is a VERY odd place to keep our stuff. the depreciated stuff in /srv should be deleted and the live stuff should move from /opt to /srv12:06
ubuntouristGFbot, do you have any knowledge about why /opt was chosen?12:06
GFbotubuntourist, nope, i just trying to not delete things as Douglas told me.12:07
ubuntouristGFbot, /opt is typically reserved for ubuntu packages that are not part of the standard repository (similar to /usr/local) and also for SOME Python pip packages but12:08
ubuntouristGFbot, not for code that is user-specific. No one else in the world is going to want NOVA Web Development's list of members, images, etc. Those are all12:09
GFbotubuntourist, so, should i try to move our site to srv?12:10
ubuntouristGFbot, "customer specific" even if we're the customer.12:10
ubuntouristGFbot, I think so. You can check with replaceafill. And if he has a compelling argument about why you should not move stuff, I would like to know.12:11
GFbotubuntourist, ok, i'll ask him about that.12:12
GFbotubuntourist, thanks for you advice.12:12
ubuntouristGFbot, (Of course, as my buddy Flint would say "The five most important words in the English language are: 'Did you back it up?'" So, I suppose it is a good idea12:19
ubuntouristGFbot, to back up /srv somewhere (not on the linode site). But mark it clearly as depreciated.12:20
ubuntourist)12:20
GFbotubuntourist, where then?12:21
ubuntouristGFbot, good question. ;-) Is the stuff in /srv an old branch of a git repository? Because that would have been the right way to12:23
ubuntouristGFbot, back up everything except what is in the PostgreSQL database.12:24
ubuntouristGFbot, If it IS an old git branch, then it already is backed-up off-site.12:25
ubuntouristGFbot, If it is NOT an old branch, then I guess I would try putting it out on GitLab as its own repository and make the repository name something like "old"12:26
GFbotjust postgreSQL and secret keys right?12:26
ubuntouristGFbot, or "depreciated".12:26
ubuntouristGFbot, What? I didn't understand the question.12:27
GFbotjust removing SQL and secret keys from instance12:28
GFbotif we use branches12:28
ubuntouristGFbot, hold a sec.12:29
ubuntouristACTION needs to step away for a few minutes.12:29
jelknernrcerna, r u here?12:30
nrcernayes jelkner12:30
jelknerubuntourist and GFbot are having a bit of a challenge understanding each other12:31
jelknerubuntourist stepped away12:31
jelknerbut he was asking for my help12:31
jelkneri thought bringing you in too is a good idea12:31
nrcernammmm12:32
jelknersince we are making decisions about backups and reorganization12:32
jelkneri'm not expecting you to have the tech background on this12:32
nrcernaI was lost too, when I was reading out what they where talking12:32
jelknerbut we may need your help communicating with replaceafill12:32
jelknerGFbot is right that he needs to be careful12:32
GFbot1+12:33
jelknersince we don't want to delete something important12:33
GFbotright12:33
jelknerso the solution to that is to learn how to properly back up things12:33
nrcernagot it12:33
jelknerGFbot, what is in /opt that ubuntourist is trying to get rid of?12:33
nrcernaso GFbot is going to ask him 12:34
nrcerna(meaning replaceafill)12:34
jelknerok, we may need to wait until after that12:34
jelknerbut nrcerna, can you please be in on that conversation?12:34
nrcernaof course12:34
ubuntouristACTION is back and catching up...12:34
GFbotjelkner, yes our site is in /opt/12:34
jelknersince it will be helpful to have two "witnesses" to what replacefill says12:34
GFbotso as i said i don't want to delete things12:35
ubuntouristGFbot, Discussing w/ jelkner. I guess I will take care of everything in /srv (including secret keys and the database). And then, I'll wipe out the stuff in /srv.12:38
ubuntouristGFbot, Except... one small problem -- really a BIG problem: the site kicked me off and closed port 22 again. SSH no longer working. So, something is killing it.12:40
GFbotubuntourist, mmm12:40
GFboti can give root access12:40
GFboti mean12:40
GFbotroot password12:40
GFbotbut, it doesnt work12:41
GFboti think12:41
ubuntouristGFbot, the graphs at https://cloud.linode.com/linodes/8224413/summary show these spikes in usage and I think they happen at the same time that SSH dies.12:43
GFbotubuntourist, there is something called "keepConnectionAlive"12:44
GFbotfor ssh i think12:44
GFbotthat could work?12:44
ubuntouristGFbot, it might help but I think the problem is somewhere else.12:45
ubuntouristGFbot, If the connection dies and I get kicked off, I should be able to ssh in again. But something kicks me off and then closes the port.12:46
GFbotubuntourist, weird12:46
ubuntouristGFbot, I don't think the keepConnectionAlive setting will prevent the second problem.12:46
ubuntouristGFbot, I will now investigate that to see if others have experienced the same trouble.12:47
GFbotubuntourist, ok12:47
