DEPLOYMENT

The CMS topic collector is to be deployed just like any other CERN WEB service.

Creating the Web Area

The CMS Topic Collector is just a bunch of state-less cgi scripts, so you can deploy them on any CGI enabled web server with SSO support. For the CMS Official Instance you can simply rely on the CERN web service support.

First of all go to:

https://webservices.web.cern.ch/webservices/

create a new AFS based web site. We reccomend using your AFS workspace for doing so, make also sure you enable CGI support. In the case of the Official Instace, we use the cmsbuild account and /afs/cern.ch/work/c/cmsbuild/www/cmsgit.

Assuming your site is in:

WORKDIR=/afs/cern.ch/work/c/cmsbuild
CMSGIT_ROOT=$WORKDIR/www/cmsgit

you'll need to make sure the web server can read those files:

fs sa -dir $WORKDIR -acl webserver:afs l
fs sa -dir $WORKDIR/www -acl webserver:afs l
fs sa -dir $CMSGIT_ROOT -acl webserver:afs rl
fs sa -dir $CMSGIT_ROOT -acl system:anyuser none

you'll also want to create a parallel directory which contains data, but which is not at all exposed to the web:

mkdir -p $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data
fs sa -dir $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data -acl webserver:afs rl
fs sa -dir $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data -acl system:anyuser none

notice you will need to make sure the webserver:afs user can list (but not read!) the parents of the directories you have picked up.

You then need to enable SSO, i.e. at CERN you'll need to do:

cat << \EOF > $CMSGIT_ROOT/.htaccess
ShibRequireAll On
ShibRequireSession On
ShibExportAssertion On
SSLRequireSSL   # The modules only work using HTTPS
AuthType Shibboleth
Require adfs-group "User admin group ZH" "cms-zh"
EOF

This will give you a working CGI area, accessible only by CMS users. To test that:

cat << \EOF > $CMSGIT_ROOT/hello
#!/usr/bin/env python
from os import environ
print "Status: 200 OK"
print
print "Hello %s!" % environ["ADFS_LOGIN"] 
EOF
chmod +x $CMSGIT_ROOT/hello

and then check the web page works correctly. In case of the Official Instance simply go to:

https://cern.ch/cmsgit/hello

If everything works correctly it should ask you to login and show:

Hello <your-sso-login>!

Remove $CMSGIT_ROOT/hello, and go to next session.

Checking out Topic Collector sources

Now it's time to populate the web area with the actual sources of the topic collector.

cd $CMSGIT_ROOT
git clone --bare [email protected]:www/cgi-bin/git-collector/.git .git
git init
git read-tree -mu HEAD

from now on you can update them by simply doing git pull origin master.

Getting secrets for GitHub API and CMS Tag Collector

Given the Topic Collector is only a thin layer on top of the GitHub API, we need to get github API secrets to make sure we can access the repository of our choice.

If you are deploying the official CMS Topic Collector, you do not need to do any of the following and you can skip to the next section.

First of all register a new application and note down the client ID and client secret we will refer to them as CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET. DO NOT SHARE THEM.

If you want to use the Topic Collector API which proxies the old Tag Collector API, copy your userkey.pem and usercert.pem to $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data.

cp ~/.globus/usercert.pem <USERKEY_PATH>
cp ~/.globus/userkey.pem <USERKEY_PATH>

Finally you need to get an "Personal API Access Token" from github for the user which you consider administrator of your repository (cmsbuild, in the case of the official instance). This can be done by going to https://github.com/settings/applications and clicking on "Create new token".

Create a secrets.py file with the following contents:

cat << EOF > $CMSGIT_ROOT/secrets.py
github_secrets={"production":
                 {
                   "client_id": "CLIENT_ID",
                   "client_secret": "CLIENT_SECRETS",
                   "admin_auth_token": "ADMIN_TOKEN",
                 }
}
cern_secrets = {
                 "usercert": "USERPEM_PATH",
                 "userkey": "USERKEY_PATH",
                 "tokens_path": "TOKENS_PATH"
                 "cache": "CACHE_PATH",
}
EOF

In case of the Official Instance, you can simply copy your secrets from cmsbuild private afs area:

cp ~/private/secrets.py $CMSGIT_ROOT/secrets.py
mkdir -p $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data/secrets
cp ~/.globus/usercert.pem $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data/secrets/usercert.pem
cp ~/.globus/userkey.pem $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data/secrets/userkey.pem

Make sure you cannot access the file from the web and make sure they cannot be read by anyone but your user and the webserver.

Finally we need to create a couple of web writeable directories which will be used to hold cached results (FIXME: use MEMCACHE / real DB).

mkdir -p $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data/tokens
mkdir -p $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data/cache
fs sa -dir $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data/tokens -acl webserver:afs rlwikd
fs sa -dir $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data/tokens -acl system:anyuser none
fs sa -dir $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data/cache -acl webserver:afs rlwikd
fs sa -dir $WORKDIR/cmsgit-data/cache -acl system:anyuser none

API

Schema

All API access is over HTTPS, and accessed from the eulisse.web.cern.ch/eulisse/cgi-bin/git-collector domain. All data is sent and received as JSON. You'll have to be authenticated via CERN SSO to get the data.

Parameters

Many API methods take optional parameters. For GET requests, any parameters not specified as a segment in the path can be passed as an HTTP query string parameter.

For POST requests, parameters not included in the URL should be encoded as JSON with a Content-Type of ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’:
