# This document is a how-to for installing a Fedora scripts.mit.edu server.
# It is semi-vaguely in the form of a shell script, but is not really
# runnable as it stands.

# Some commands should be run as the scripts-build user, not root.

# Old versions of this install document advised setting
# NSS_NONLOCAL_IGNORE=1 anytime you're setting up anything, e.g. using
# yum, warning that useradd will query LDAP in a stupid way that makes
# it hang forever.  As of Fedora 13, this does not seem to be a problem,
# so it's been removed from the instructions.  If an install is hanging,
# though, try adding NSS_NONLOCAL_IGNORE.

# This is actually just "pick an active scripts server".  It can't be
# scripts.mit.edu because our networking config points that domain
# at localhost, and if our server is not setup at that point things
# will break.

# use trunk if your just installing a new server, and branches/fcXX-dev
# if your preparing a server on a new Fedora release.

    # We must use an explicit source_server while setting up the Scripts
    # server, because once we load the Scripts /etc configuration,
    # scripts.mit.edu will start resolving to localhost and
    # updates/commits will stop working.  This will be switched to
    # scripts.mit.edu at the end of the install process.

# NOTE: You will have just lost DNS resolution and the ability
# to do password SSH in.  If you managed to botch this step without
# having named setup, you can do a quick fix by frobbing /etc/resolv.conf
# with a non 127.0.0.1 address for the DNS server.  Be sure to revert it once
# you have named.

# You can get password SSH back by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config (allow
# password auth) and /etc/pam.d/sshd (comment out the first three auth
# lines).  However, you can also temporarily install krb5 and setup the
# keytabs and k5login to get Kerberized authentication.

# Make sure network is working.  If this is a new server name, you'll
# need to add it to /etc/hosts and
# /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1.  Kickstart should have
# configured eth0 and eth1 correctly; use service network restart
# to add the new routes in route-eth1.

# [TEST SERVER] If you're installing a test server, this needs to be

# Install the Python eggs and Ruby gems and PEAR/PECL doohickeys that are on
# the other scripts.mit.edu servers and do not have RPMs.
# The general mode of operation will be to run the "list" command
# on both servers, see what the differences are, check if those diffs
# are packaged up as rpms, and install them (rpm if possible, native otherwise)
# - Look at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages and
#           /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages for Python eggs and modules.
#   There will be a lot of gunk that was installed from packages;
#   easy-install.pth in /usr/lib/ will tell you what was easy_installed.
#   First use 'yum search' to see if the relevant package is now available
#   as an RPM, and install that if it is.  If not, then use easy_install.
#   Pass -Z to easy_install to install them unzipped, as some zipped eggs
#   want to be able to write to ~/.python-eggs.  (Also makes sourcediving
#   easier.)
    cat /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easy-install.pth
# - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems.
#   Again, use 'yum search' and prefer RPMs, but failing that, 'gem install'.
#       ezyang: rspec-rails depends on rspec, and will override the Yum
#       package, so... don't use that RPM yet
    gem list
# - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called).
#   Yet again, 'yum search' for RPMs before resorting to 'pear install'.  Note
#   that for things in the beta repo, you'll need 'pear install package-beta'.
#   (you might get complaints about the php_scripts module; ignore them)
    pear list
# - Look at `pecl list` for PECL things.  'yum search', and if you must,
#   'pecl install' needed items. If it doesn't work, try 'pear install
#   pecl/foo' or 'pecl install foo-beta' or those two combined.
    pecl list
# Automating this... will require a lot of batonning between
# the servers. Probably best way to do it is to write an actual
# script.

# Setup some Python config

# Install the credentials.  There are a lot of things to remember here.
# Be sure to make sure the permissions match up (ls -l on an existing
# server!).
#   o This will be different if you're setting up our build/update server.
#   o You probably installed the machine keytab long ago
    ls -l /etc/krb5.keytab
#     Use ktutil to combine the host/scripts.mit.edu and
#     host/scripts-vhosts.mit.edu keys with host/this-server.mit.edu in
#     the keytab.  Do not use 'k5srvutil change' on the combined keytab
#     or you'll break the other servers. (real servers only).  Be
#     careful about writing out the keytab: if you write it to an
#     existing file the keys will just get appended
#   o The daemon.scripts keytab
    ls -l /etc/daemon.keytab
#   o The SSL cert private key (real servers only)
    ls -l /etc/pki/tls/private/scripts.key
#   o The LDAP password for the signup process (real servers only)
    ls -l /etc/signup-ldap-pw
#   o The SQL password for the signup process (real servers only) (you
#     only need one, chown as sql user)
    ls -l /usr/local/etc/sql-mit-edu.cfg.php
    ls -l /etc/sql-mit-edu.cfg.php
#   o The whoisd password (real servers only)
    ls -l /etc/whoisd-password
#   o The LDAP keytab for this server, which will be used later (real
#     servers only).
    ls -l /etc/dirsrv/keytab
#   o Replace the ssh host keys with the ones common to all scripts servers (real servers only)
    ls -l /etc/ssh/*key*
#   o Make sure root's .k5login is correct
    cat /root/.k5login
#   o Make sure logview's .k5login is correct (real servers only)
    cat /home/logview/.k5login

# [TEST SERVER] If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to
# /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address.
# You will also need to modify:
#   o /etc/ldap.conf
#       add: host scripts.mit.edu
#   o /etc/nss-ldapd.conf
#       replace: uri *****
#       with: uri ldap://scripts.mit.edu/
#   o /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
#       add: URI ldap://scripts.mit.edu/
#            BASE dc=scripts,dc=mit,dc=edu
#   o /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf
#       replace: VhostLDAPUrl ****
#       with: VhostLDAPUrl "ldap://scripts.mit.edu/ou=VirtualHosts,dc=scripts,dc=mit,dc=edu"
#   o /etc/postfix/virtual-alias-{domains,maps}-ldap.cf
#       replace: server_host *****
#       with: server_host = ldap://scripts.mit.edu
# to use scripts.mit.edu instead of localhost.
# XXX: someone should write sed scripts to do this

# [TEST SERVER] If you are setting up a test server, afsagent's cronjob
# will attempt to be renewing with the wrong credentials
# (daemon.scripts). Change this:
    vim /home/afsagent/renew # replace all mentions of daemon.scripts.mit.edu

# Set up replication (see ./install-ldap).
    cat install-ldap

# Make the services dirsrv, nslcd, nscd, postfix, and httpd start at
# boot. Run chkconfig to make sure the set of services to be run is
# correct.
    chkconfig dirsrv on
    chkconfig nslcd on
    chkconfig nscd on
    chkconfig postfix on
    chkconfig httpd on

# Postfix doesn't actually deliver mail; fix this
    cd /etc/postfix
    postmap virtual

# Munin might not be monitoring packages that were installed after it
    munin-node-configure --suggest --shell | sh

# Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work.
# (Note: this errors on XeTeX which is ok.)
    fmtutil-sys --all

# Ensure that PHP isn't broken:
    mkdir /tmp/sessions
    chmod 01777 /tmp/sessions

# Ensure fcgid isn't broken (should be 755)
    ls -l /var/run/mod_fcgid

# Fix etc by making sure none of our config files got overwritten
    cd /etc
    svn status -q
    # Some usual candidates for clobbering include nsswitch.conf and
    # sysconfig/openafs

# ThisCell got clobbered, replace it with athena.mit.edu
    echo "athena.mit.edu" > /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell

# Reboot the machine to restore a consistent state, in case you
# changed anything. (Note: Starting kdump fails (this is ok))

# [OPTIONAL] Your machine's hostname is baked in at install time;
# in the rare case you need to change it: it appears to be in:
#   o /etc/sysconfig/network
#   o your lvm thingies; probably don't need to edit

# [TEST SERVER] More stuff for test servers
#   - You need a self-signed SSL cert.  Generate with:
    openssl req -new -x509 -keyout /etc/pki/tls/private/scripts.key -out /etc/pki/tls/certs/scripts.cert -nodes
#     Also make /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.pem match up
#   - Make (/etc/aliases) root mail go to /dev/null, so we don't spam people
#   - Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/scripts-vhost-names.conf to have scripts-fX-test.xvm.mit.edu
#     be an accepted vhost name
#   - Look at the old test server and see what config changes are floating around

# XXX: our SVN checkout should be updated to use scripts.mit.edu
# (repository and etc) once serving actually works.
