Infrastructure

This page describes the hardware/software infrastructure for the Open Food Facts + Open Beauty Facts projects.

New server install log

OFF and OBF have been hosted from 2012 to 2016 on a (now very old) OVH dedicated server that is also hosting other projects. On June 13th 2016, a new dedicated server has been ordered specifically for OFF and OBF.

Hardware

Server setup

Server configuration

  • uname -a
    • Linux ns3362784.ip-37-187-74.eu 3.14.32-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 #7 SMP Wed Jan 27 18:05:09 CET 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  • perl -v
    • This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 2 (v5.20.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

Basic configuration

  • apt-get update
  • apt-get upgrade
  • apt-get install fail2ban
  • apt-get install sudo
  • apt-get install build-essential
  • apt-get install git


Users

  • admin users with sudo access
  • off user


DNS

Product Opener needs a domain, with a A record for the domain itself and another wildcard A record for all subdomains.

For testing the new server, we will be using openfoodfacts.eu

Product Opener dependencies

exim
  • apt-get install exim4
  • dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
    • Internet Site mail is sent by smtp
    • 127.0.0.1
MongoDB

See https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/

apt-get install mongodb

MongoDB shell version: 2.4.10

service mongod stop mv /var/lib/mongodb /home/mongodb

vi /etc/mongod.conf

#  dbPath: /var/lib/mongodb
  dbPath: /home/mongodb

service mongod start

Stars with some warnings:

mongo
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.7
connecting to: test
Server has startup warnings:

Apache / mod_perl and nginx

Apache 2 + mod_perl serve the dynamically generated HTML pages from Product Opener.

nginx is installed on port 80 as a reverse proxy. It serves the static files (images, JS, CSS etc.) and proxies the dynamic requests to the Apache server on another port.

apt-get install apache2

  1. stop apache in order to be able to install nginx (default port 80)

service stop apache2

apt-get install nginx

nginx configuration
/etc/nginx/sites-available# more off
##
# You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding
# of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.
# http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls
# http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart
# http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration
#
# Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean
# file but keep this around for reference. Or just disable in sites-enabled.

# Please see /usr/share/doc/nginx-doc/examples/ for more detailed examples.

Product Opener

Libraries
  • apt-get install zlib1g-dev
Perl modules

apt-get install libwww-perl libimage-magick-perl libxml-encoding-perl libtext-unaccent-perl libmime-lite-perl libcache-memcached-fast-perl libjson-perl libclone-perl libgraphviz-perl libmime-lite-perl libcrypt-passwdmd5-perl libencode-detect-perl libgraphics-color-perl libbarcode-zbar-perl libxml-feedpp-perl libmongodb-perl liburi-find-perl libxml-simple-perl

Some modules seem not to have Debian packages and must be built using CPAN:

cpan
install URI::Escape::XS
install Encode::Punycode
install GraphViz2
install HTML::Defang
install Algorithm::CheckDigits
install Geo::IP
install Image::OCR::Tesseract
install DateTime::Format::Mail
install DateTime::Format::CLDR
install DateTime::Locale
Symbolic links in cgi directory =

ls -lrt |grep -- "->"

Make sure all links are pointing to the right path.

/home/off/cgi# rm Blogs
/home/off/cgi# ln -s /home/off/cgi Blogs

ln -s SiteLang_off.pm SiteLang.pm

vi /home/off/cgi/startup.pl
# Needs to be configured
use lib "/home/off/cgi/";

vi /home/cgi/Config2.pm
-> put right values for server domain, home path, and mongodb database name


robots.txt

Since we will run a copy of OFF on a separate domain, add a line to forbid robots completely.

/home/off/html# vi robots.txt
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Disallow: /cgi
Disallow: /code
~


= Product opener debug

Once Apache starts:

/home/off/logs# tail -f error_log
