denbi / cloud-user-docs Goto Github PK

need new page for all three mod req

We need a schema which describes the roles of different users (vo manager,facility manager etc)

Hi all,
I tried the tutorial at the cloud in Giessen. There are some things different than described in the tutorial. This could be due to a new version of OpenCloud (but I could not find out which version is running).

Finally, we can launch our instances. We are still on network overview page. Click on the Launch Instance button (pink box on the picture in the last chapter)."

-> There is no pink box before. No image showing the instances information. It was difficult to find the launch instance button. It is located in
Compute -> Instances -> Launch Instance

To allow external access to your instance via SSH, you have to change the security group and allow SSH! Go to Project -> Compute -> Access & Security

-> This is located in Project -> Network -> Security Groups

Best Matthias

Need to make clear that users have to be logged in before they can paste the url

We need a page describing how to apply for resources.

there is still the old layout, also add info button to profiel page

https://cloud.denbi.de/wiki/quickstart/#router

-- here, and possibly elsewhere, it says that

Fill in the Router Name and select the external_network for the External Network.

-- today, we used ´external´, not ´external_network´ (which was non-existent).

We need a page describing how to integrate with Elixir as an Identity Provider.

We should create a tutorial that demonstrates how Floating IPs can be reduced using a proxy or a gateway.
This is already partly explained in User Data Wiki

own wiki page and more information about how to citate and where publications can be added + also make it more visible in portal

should build so we can preview changes on staging

release official + staging

update tag in env.staging
test it

also why does travis fail? replace travis checks with github action + pr template

users should wait until tests have passed

cloud-user-docs:
add small detail that they should wait for checks

when failing a more verbose message would be good

dockerfile pip to requirements.txt, mount it and install. dependabot config

also test on staging

everyone can add a doi not project members only

for admin and user

Travis html-proofer fails at the moment because of two reasons:

• Freiburg OpenStack Login page is not online right now.

• Heidelberg OpenStack Login page can not be accessed from CI machine.

add new component to new instance and instance overview, also adjust wiki

A new user has used our cloud docs for a quick start.
He gave a few aspects on improvements:

• External Network is called "external", however wiki states "external_network"

• "Click on Create Network (yellow box)": I don't see a yellow bow.

• "For further reading visit our Networking page" -> Dead link

• Availability Zone in "Launch Instance" Form has
  default/highmem/gpu/maintenance/ssd as options, wiki only shows "nova"

• The Submit-Button in "Allocate Floating IP"-Formula is called "Allocate IP",
  not "Associate IP":
  "Select the external_network in the pool field (red box) and click on the blue
  Associate IP Button".
  "Button" is written in lowercase

• "First of all, you should read our Security aspects in clouds page!" - Dead link!

adjust documentation (new links and instructions)

update images, instance overview

information about the fact that guacamole is also available

https://cloud.denbi.de/wiki/Tutorials/ObjectStorage/#configuration-of-the-minio-client

-- make more clear what is "access" and "secret" (key) for object storage , put it in the same paragraph as

mc config host add

user should be tracked with matomo when navigatin the cloud wiki

inform user about dois

different sections, e.g. by portal page

disabling showing of other authentication methods

currently not possible:
hashicorp/vault#9076

into de.nbi, simplevm or whatever, more simple - less cryptic

https://cloud.denbi.de/wiki/quickstart/#using-cinder-volumes

mkfs.ext4 /dev/device_name

...only executes if done like this:

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/device_name

similar for

mkdir -p /mnt/volume

chmod 777 /mnt/volume/

mount /dev/... mnt/volume/

make simplevm own index, should not be burried in portal -> etc. check and change mail links and other links

we need wiki entry for everything about bibigrid

we are today in the workshop, and here I very shortly (apologies...) collect some issues I encountered in the cloud documentation:

https://cloud.denbi.de/wiki/quickstart/#launching-an-instance

-- I used a debian machine, login has to happen with user ´debian´ , that is not mentioned, at least not in the doc (?) .

inform about cause of key changes after starting of machines -> checkbox with warning before change

Update Wiki on How to Connect to your VM

e.g. when instance shutoff -> active, needs about 15 minutes until resenv available

add a wiki article about the user information page

what should user do when vm ist set for deletion. inform about snapshots and volumes etc.

All de.NBI Cloud sites should provide URL and Support Email in the Cloud Center specific section.

• Freiburg
• Tübingen
• Heidelberg
• Bielefeld
• Giessen

how to create ssh key on windows + set correctly

Test the (Windows only) Export key in OpenSSH format for X2GO and X2GO connect section here

admins should ask gov for facility id

only "eigennamen" with capital letter

text on left side and typos

We need a page describing the single vm feature.
