[v7.0] Notes

[simonhammes]

Changes

• Update seatable-nginx.conf and replace proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000/ping/; with proxy_pass http://dtable-server:5000/ping/; to fix proxied ping endpoint of dtable-server (?)
  • Issue: nginx refuses to start if the upstream is not reachable on nginx startup
    • Do we use a workaround such as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32845674/nginx-how-to-not-exit-if-host-not-found-in-upstream?
    • Or do we just remove the /dtable-server/ping location block from the NGINX config since dtable-server could be considered internal infrastructure?
      • -> Remove from openapi repo in this case
  • our tests inside the openapi repository should be updated to reflect this change! (whatever our final decision is)
  • Decision: Stop exposing the endpoints by default (dtable-db + dtable-server)

Manual Upgrades

• bind inside gunicorn.py needs to be set to 0.0.0.0:8000 to allow other containers to connect to Gunicorn (?)
  • Not necessary according to Seafile Ltd, but we should give this a final check before releasing v7.0
