Taggart "SHINY"/GOLD Wiki | Virtual / VZ Guest for WhaleMap

Creation of 'goldleader'

This is the master shiny instance. Same as the others, but additional with responsibility for downloading, processing, and distribution the data.

Setup

Start by creating a standard WhaleMap OpenVZ installation, using the ubuntu1604-shiny-whalemap template created in OpenVZ-whalemap-guest.

Here are the existing templates:

[root@gold ~]# prlctl list -t
UUID                                    DIST            T  NAME
{ce4813a0-7da3-447f-b78d-562920bbf57a}  ubuntu          CT ubuntu-16.04-201804
{cb55bb16-9598-479a-bd08-08dec527eb06}  ubuntu          CT ubuntu1604-shiny
{a9a12bbc-7b81-4097-9534-417d00b7a90c}  ubuntu          CT ubuntu1604-shiny-whalemap

prlctl create goldleader --ostemplate ubuntu1604-shiny-whalemap
vzctl set goldleader --save \
    --hostname goldleader.ocean.lan \
    --ipadd 192.168.128.200

vzctl start goldleader

The only remaining requirement for WhaleMap to work is to transfer the custom data and password file to the new host:

vzctl enter goldleader
rsync -rtv <user>@goldtwo:/srv/shiny-server/WhaleMap/{password.rda,data} /srv/shiny-server/WhaleMap/

But we are going to need to setup Makefiles and some sort of distribution system.
