Description

Installer pieces:

  • Terraform (on AWS only)
  • installer.sh
    • initial setup, copying templates
    • pushes the template repository to each node and invokes provision.sh
  • provision.sh
    • templates the templates
    • installs salt formulas and salt itself
    • invokes salt in master-less mode
  • salt formula
    • configures package repositories
    • installs & configures nginx
    • installs & arvados packages
  • Packaging and post-install scripts

Configurations we should test:

  • single host, single hostname
  • single host, multiple hostname
  • multiple host, multiple hostname
  • installation on each supported distribution

Ideal stack:

  • Terraform (on AWS only)
  • installer.sh
    • configures package repositories on each node
    • provides bootstrap configuration and user customization
    • installs arvados packages on each node
  • Packaging and post-install scripts
  • Arvados process supervisor (arvados-server boot)
    • handles configuring & launching nginx
    • launching Arvados services configured for that particular node

Points to consider:

  • How to pass config customizations from user level down to the configuration files of nginx, prometheus, etc
  • Arvados would need its own orchestration features, e.g. generating config files from templates
