Database tips

To make runtime changes in Gitorious database, follow regular Rails workflow - run scripts/console:

cd /srv/gitorious/app
sudo -u gitorious RAILS_ENV=production script/console

It is regular Ruby console and all features, like TAB completion, work. To tweak Gitorious data, just use its model classes, e.g.:

# search of particular object by its attributes
user = User.find_by_login("user")
project = Project.find_by_title("project")

# get object attributes
user.email

# change object attributes
project.owner = User.find_by_email("foo@bar")
project.save!

# destroy object and all its dependencies
user.destroy

# reset user password
user = User.find_by_email("user")
password_key = user.forgot_password!
Mailer.deliver_forgotten_password(user, password_key)

# add repository committer
committer = User.find_by_login("user")
repo = Repository::find_by_path("sugar/mainline")
repo.committerships.create_with_permissions!({:committer => committer}, (Committership::CAN_COMMIT))

# delete repository committer
committer = User.find_by_login("user")
repo = Repository::find_by_path("sugar/mainline")
repo.committerships = repo.committerships.select {|i| !i.members.include? committer }

# change repository owner
new_owner = User.find_by_login("user")
repo = Repository::find_by_path("sugar/mainline")
cs = repo.committerships.select {|i| i.committer == new_owner}.pop
cs.permissions = (Committership::CAN_ADMIN | Committership::CAN_COMMIT | Committership::CAN_REVIEW)
cs.save!
repo.owner = new_owner
repo.save!

# move repository to another project
new_project = Project.find_by_title('sl-tweaks')
repo = Repository::find_by_path("sat-solver/mainline")
repo.project = new_project
repo.name = "sat-solver"
repo.save!

# check users permissions for particular repository
repo = Repository::find_by_path("pukllanapac/mainline")
repo.committerships.each {|i| puts "#{User.find(i.committer_id).login} review=#{i.permissions & Committership::CAN_REVIEW > 0}"}
repo.committerships.each {|i| puts "#{User.find(i.committer_id).login} commit=#{i.permissions & Committership::CAN_COMMIT > 0}"}
repo.committerships.each {|i| puts "#{User.find(i.committer_id).login} admin=#{i.permissions & Committership::CAN_ADMIN > 0}"}

TODO

Current gitorious patch doesn't handle renaming repositories properly and doesn't update symliks in /srv/gitorious/repos-by-name. For now, run code to recreate symlinks:

 Repository::find_each {|i| s='/srv/gitorious/repos/' + i.real_gitdir; d='/srv/gitorious/repos-by-name/' + i.gitdir; FileUtils.makedirs(File.dirname(d)) if !File.exist?(File.dirname(d)); File.symlink(s, d) if !File.exists? d}

Upgrade notes

git	/srv/gitorious/app

After pulling new sources, migrate database:

cd /srv/gitorious/app/
sudo -u gitorious RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

To restart only Web application, instead of restarting the daemon, call:

touch /srv/gitorious/app/tmp/restart.txt

Hardware migration

Disable servers of both hosts.

mv /srv/gitorious/ssh/.ssh/authorized_keys{,.bak}

a2dissite git.sugarlabs.org
a2dissite cgit.sugarlabs.org
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

/etc/init.d/gitorious-git stop
/etc/init.d/gitorious-poller stop
/etc/init.d/gitorious-sphinx stop
/etc/init.d/gitorious-stomp stop

On old server.

• Dump MySQL database:

mysqldump -u root -h localhost -p gitorious | xz > dump.slq.xz

On new server.

• Create MySQL user and database for Gitorious:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'gitorious'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<insert password>' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
CREATE DATABASE gitorious;

• Make preparations from root user:

useradd gitorious -d /srv/gitorious/ssh -m
cat >> /srv/gitorious/ssh/.profile <<EOF
export RAILS_ENV=production
cd /srv/gitorious/app
EOF
xzcat dump.slq.xz | mysql -u root -p -D gitorious

• Make preparations from gitorious user:

su - gitorious

mkdir /srv/gitorious/repositories-mirror
mkdir /srv/gitorious/repositories-mirror
mkdir /srv/gitorious/tmp

git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/sl-tweaks/gitorious.git /srv/gitorious/app

rsync --delete-after -PHAXhaxv $OLD_HOST:/srv/gitorious/repositories/ /srv/gitorious/repositories/
rsync --delete-after -PHAXhaxv $OLD_HOST:/srv/gitorious/app/public/system/ /srv/gitorious/app/public/system/
rsync --delete-after -PHAXhaxv $OLD_HOST:/srv/gitorious/ssh/.ssh/authorized_keys.bak /srv/gitorious/ssh/.ssh/authorized_keys

cd /srv/gitorious/app
rake db:migrate
rake ts:rebuild
rake mirror:symlinkedrepos
rake assets:clear

• Start up Gitorious.

a2ensite git.sugarlabs.org
a2ensite cgit.sugarlabs.org
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

/etc/init.d/gitorious-git start
/etc/init.d/gitorious-poller start
