How to get rid of the warning message? * Solution taken from https://docs.mongodb.com/master/tutorial/transparent-huge-pages/

Create the following file: /etc/init.d/disable-transparent-hugepages

$ sudo nano /etc/init.d/disable-transparent-hugepages

Copy & paste this content:

#!/bin/bash

Make it executable

$ sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/disable-transparent-hugepages

Configure your operating system to run it on boot

$ sudo update-rc.d disable-transparent-hugepages defaults

Test Your Changes

$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

Reboot the server

sudo shutdown -r now

Starting MongoDB

On Debian, the mongodb service has to be started manually, I couldn’t find any meaningful explanation how to set it up as service (it’s somehow non-standard)

$ sudo service mongod start

Configuring authentication in MongoDB

Add to /etc/mongod.conf

...
security:
   authorization: enabled
...

Restart

$ sudo service mongod restart

and check the settings:

admin@ip-172-31-61-35:~$ sudo tail /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log | grep security
2016-10-23T10:55:16.239+0000 I CONTROL  [initandlisten] options: { config: "/etc/mongod.conf", net: { bindIp: "127.0.0.1", port: 27017 }, security: { authorization: "enabled" }, storage: { dbPath: "/var/lib/mongodb", journal: { enabled: true } }, systemLog: { destination: "file", logAppend: true, path: "/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log", quiet: true } }

Warning

TODO(check if this was the reason) Enabling security is extremely important step. If not enabled, the Python server will not be able to authorize the users or create new users!

Add a admin user
- https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/built-in-roles/#superuser-roles

argotario@ip-172-31-61-35:~$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.10
connecting to: test
> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.createUser({ user: "admin", pwd: "some_randomly_generated_safe_password", roles: ["root"]})

			"role" : "root",
			"db" : "admin"
		}
	]
}

Importing database content

Warning

Exporting DB on the production and importing on the dev does not work for some strange reasons. The only way to get the prod-db to the dev server is to: * stop the mongod service on prod server * copy /var/lib/mongod somewhere else (let’s call it mongod-copy) * start the mongod on prod server again * copy the monbod-copy to /var/lib/mongod on the dev server * start mongod on the dev server

Older working notes

Copy database dump from the production server (dumps are at /srv/mongodb-backups) to the dev server

habernal@argue-dev:~$ scp habernal@argue:/srv/mongodb-backups/mongodb-dump-2017-02-09.tar.bz2 .
habernal@argue-dev:~$ tar -xvf mongodb-dump-2017-02-09.tar.bz2

Restore database from the dump:

argotario@ip-172-31-61-35:~$ mongorestore -u admin -p some_randomly_generated_safe_password -h localhost --port 27017 mongodb-dump-2016-10-23/

So this looks like a real problem: 2017-02-09T14:33:39.329+0100 Failed: restore error: error running merge command: Missing expected field "db"

Dump only "argotario" database on the production server: (TODO: change the export script if this proves to work)

habernal@argue:/tmp$ mongodump -u admin -p some_randomly_generated_safe_password --authenticationDatabase=admin --db=argotario --dumpDbUsersAndRoles --out=/tmp/mongodump3

copy to dev server

and restore only on dev server

habernal@argue-dev:~$ mongorestore -u admin -p some_randomly_generated_safe_password --authenticationDatabase admin --db argotario --restoreDbUsersAndRoles  mongodump3/argotario/

Warning in the log file: Could not insert user admin@admin in _mergeAuthzCollections command: DuplicateKey: User "admin@admin" already exists can be ignored, the content is properly imported, all indexes are probably restored

UI for Mongodb database - Robomongo

Download from https://robomongo.org/download
Run (locally! not on the server; it’s a desktop app)
Make sure the server on AWS is running, you can SSH there, and connect to the database (mongo command above)
In Robomongo, create a new connection
- In "SSH", enable SSH tunnel
- SSH address: ec2-54-88-206-149.compute-1.amazonaws.com (remember: this will change after every restart of AWS server!)
- SSH user name: ubuntu
- SSH Auth Method: private key
- Private key: the pem file (e.g., aws-keypair-us-east-1-2015-06-24.pem)
And connect to the database!

Apache web server

Install Apache

$ sudo apt-get install apache2

If running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), enable port 80 and 443 for incoming traffic in Security Group
- Add SSL support

admin@ip-172-31-61-35:~$ sudo a2enmod ssl

Configure Apache for Virtual Hosting
- Disable the default Apache virtual host

admin@ip-172-31-61-35:~$ sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf

Enable default SSL

admin@ip-172-31-61-35:~$ sudo a2ensite default-ssl

Reload

admin@ip-172-31-61-35:~$ sudo service apache2 reload

And point your browser to:

https://ec2-54-205-135-3.compute-1.amazonaws.com/
(or https://argue-dev.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/)

It shows "Untrusted connection" as the default SSL certificate in Apache is self-signed. Accept this exception permanently in your browser.

After that, you should see the Apache2 Debian Default Page (saying "It works!")

Add these two Apache modules

$ sudo a2enmod headers
$ sudo a2enmod proxy
$ sudo a2enmod proxy_http
$ sudo service apache2 restart

and see the status

$ sudo service apache2 status

Python 3 backend server

Check Python version, should be 3.4.2 on Jessie

admin@ip-172-31-61-35:~$ python3 --version
Python 3.4.2

Install PIP

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Install user-bound python libraries

$ sudo su
$ su argotario

$ pip3 install --user pymongo==3.3.0 bcrypt==3.1.0 numpy==1.11.2
[...]
Successfully installed pymongo bcrypt numpy cffi pycparser

Deploying the Python server

Assumptions
- You installed the Debian server with all prerequsities
- There’s a user argotario on the server, under which the Python server will be running
- The argotario user already installed the Python dependencies (See above "User-bound python libraries")

Option 1: Installing git and cloning the project on the prod/dev server

Switch to argotario user

habernal@argue:~$ sudo su
root@argue-dev:/home/habernal# su argotario

Clone the project

argotario@argue-dev:~$ git clone gitRepo
Cloning into 'Argue'...
remote: Counting objects: 19985, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (13313/13313), done.
remote: Total 19985 (delta 5381), reused 19847 (delta 5285)
Receiving objects: 100% (19985/19985), 609.43 MiB | 22.47 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (5381/5381), done.
Checking connectivity... done.

Option 1: Exporting from git on your local machine

Currently there are no branches (only master branch)
On your local machine, export the argueserver directory from gitlab (you must have git configured to access (push/pull/etc) to the repository! Try first by cloning the repo etc.)

user-ukp@DIPF-UKP-IH-NB1:/tmp$ git archive --format=zip --remote=ssh://git@git.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/klamm/Argue master argueserver --output argueserver-git-export-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M").zip

Copy the exported zip to your account at the =argue= server

user-ukp@DIPF-UKP-IH-NB1:/tmp$ scp argueserver-git-export-2016-08-18-15-16.zip habernal@argue.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de:./

Login to the argue server and move the uploaded zip under the argotario user home

user-ukp@DIPF-UKP-IH-NB1:~$ ssh habernal@argue.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de
habernal@argue:~$ sudo chown argotario:argotario argueserver-git-export-2016-08-18-15-16.zip && sudo mv argueserver-git-export-2016-08-18-15-16.zip /home/argotario/

Starting/Stopping the Python server

Switch to argotario user

habernal@argue:~$ sudo su
root@argue:/home/habernal# su argotario

Stop the argotario server daemon
- Currently the server should run under argotario user in screen; switch to argotario user, screen -r and stop the server by Ctrl+C

argotario@argue:~$ screen -r
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check.

You need to run script /dev/null first in this case

argotario@argue:~$ script /dev/null
Script started, file is /dev/null

If exported (Option 2), unpack the files
Delete the current version of server (make sure it’s not running! See above with stopping the server under screen)

argotario@argue:~$ rm -rf argueserver

Unzip the new version of the server

argotario@argue:~$ unzip argueserver-git-export-2016-08-18-15-16.zip

And run it again under screen

argotario@argue:~$ screen
argotario@argue:~$ cd argueserver/
argotario@argue:~$ python3 startServer.py

Checking whether the server is running

habernal@argue:~$ ps auxf | grep argotar
...
argotar+ 31106  0.0  0.1  43960  3364 ?        Ss   Aug18   0:00 SCREEN
argotar+ 31107  0.0  0.3  41288  6700 pts/3    Ss   Aug18   0:00  \_ /bin/bash
argotar+ 29772  0.3  3.3 917760 68772 pts/3    Sl+  09:51   0:01      \_ python3 startServer.py

Checking whether the server listens on the 9000 port (under root)

root@argue-dev:/home/habernal# netstat -vatn | grep 9000
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:9000          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

Frontend setup

Argue/arguegame/www/index.html is the "homepage" of the game

There are currently three config files included:

config-device-prod.js
../config-web-prod.js
./.dev/config-web-dev.js

If the first one (config-device-prod.js) is disabled, the game doesn’t load at all
The second one (../config-web-prod.js) doesn’t seem to have any effect at all
The last one (./.dev/config-web-dev.js) overrides the values from the first one
By examining the production server, it is apparent that only the first one (config-device-prod.js) is used, as the other two cannot be accessed (404 not found).
When redeploying the production server, one has to delete the ".dev" directory in order not to perform API calls to localhost.
Change the configuration in config-devide-prod.js:

kBaseURL = 'https://argue-dev.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de';
kBaasBoxURL = kBaseURL+'/argueapi/v1'

the '/argueapi/v1' address corresponds to the proxy in Apache, which is forwarded to the Python server on localhost (as shown in the Apache configuration above):

# Set up the proxy for /argueapi/v1
SSLProxyEngine on
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /argueapi/v1 http://127.0.0.1:9000
ProxyPassReverse /argueapi/v1 http://127.0.0.1:9000

User interface

How to enable secured connection in Chrome on Android?

By default, Android Chrome doesn’t recognize SSL certificate issued by TU Darmstadt by default
Users need to manually install the TU Certificate from here: https://info.pca.dfn.de/tu-darmstadt-ca/index.html
- Download "CA-Zertifikat" in "DER-Format" (http://cdp.pca.dfn.de/tu-darmstadt-ca/pub/cacert/cacert.der) in your Android browser
- Open the downloaded file and install it under a name of your choice (for example "TUD CA G01")
- Android might give you warning of being insecure because of the new certificate installed, but you can ignore the message
  - For more information about the SSL certificate of TU Darmstadt, visit https://www.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de/itsicherheit/pki/pki_tudcag01/index.de.jsp

JavaScript development [working notes]

npm

Prerequisites: npm, package manager for JavaScript (also install nodejs-legacy due to some weird naming conventions etc.

$ sudo apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy

installs npm version 3.5.2-0ubuntu4 (on Ubuntu 16.04). This will also install plenty of JS libraries to /usr/lib/nodejs.

Change the npm global directory to a new local directory to prevent messing up with sudo rights etc. (Option 2 as shown in the documentation):

$ mkdir ~/.npm-global
$ npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'

add this line to ~/.bashrc: export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

and update the system variables

$ source .bashrc

Check whether this was successful:

$ npm config get prefix
/home/user-ukp/.npm-global

Local JS libraries

Change dir to argotario/arguegame and run

$ npm install

This will create a new directory node_modules and download all libraries. DO NOT add this directory to Git!

Building

Development Documentation

GameConfiguration

Connfiguring the game, its worlds and levels, via a JSON file. This file is called gameConfiguration.js and is placed in the 'gamecontent' top-level folder, where all game related contents reside. The game contents are completely separated from the core files, to allow treating the core itself as a black-box when someone decides to extend the game with new levels or rounds.

Countdown

Continued working on the countdowns. The argCountdown directive now has additional attributes, such as auto-start, controller, and more. Pass any object (e.g., {}) of the current shope as the countdown’s controller attribute. This object then will be extended in the directive linking code with methods that let you then control the countdown from your normal controller: start() resets the controller and starts counting down (after the defer phase). reset() only resets the progress back to 100%.

App.js

To improve the app (loading) performance, Raffael made use of file concatination and minimization via gulp and cordova. All app-related files (which are not shared with any other project, e.g., argueadmin) bundelling into one file called bin/App.js. Except all vendor files, e.g., jQuery and the BaasBox JS SDK, which are all bundled into one file, caleld bin/Vendor.js. Shared code is bundled into bin/Shared.js, which is now included by the argueadmin, via "../../" links to reference the 'arguegame', instead of using any symlinks.

Folder Structure (see Overview.png in the doc-Folder)

/arguegame/

This folder is the project of the front-end of the game. Actually, only the subfolder /www should be deployed to the server, since the rest of the root directory of this project only contains development and cordova related files.

/arguegame/bower.josn

Bower can manage components that contain HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts or even image files

/arguegame/config-web-prod.js

Specify the Base URL

/arguegame/gulpfile.js

Gulp is for automate tasks - workflow to automate the compilation of SASS files (scss) using gulp

/arguegame/ionic.project

Ionic

/arguegame/www/GameContent/localGameConfiguration.json
