Hi to all,
Is it possible to update/upgrade all the MD's from the core?. If I have several MD's if i want to keep them updated, all of them have to download from the internet the packages. Since they all boot up from the core, which means that they all should be at the same version of the core, would be faster to set up all the MD's to do the apt-get update/upgrade from the core?
My apologies if this is a dumb question, I just couldn't find an answer on the forum search
Cheers,
T
I do this with SSH.
If you are on your core, you can do...
sudo su -
ssh moonXX
...where XX is the device number of the MD (find this out in web admin).
Alternatively, if you are on another machine on the internal network, you can do...
sudo ssh root@192.168.80.1
ssh moonXX
...assuming you are using the standard internal IP of 192.168.80.1.
Note that it is necessary to SSH into the core as root because if you SSH in with your user ("purps" in my case), you won't have any admin privileges once you have SSHed into the MD.
More information about logging in etc here http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Logging_In
Cheers,
Matt.
EDIT: I just re-read your post. Don't think I answered your question did I. Why don't you want to download from Internet? Do you have monthly download limits or something?
1. Quicker
2. Less bandwith from user and from supplier side
3. Bongojoke
tompin2,
atm there is no defined way to update the MDs from a single (non Internet point). One way of achieving it, would be to copy the contents of the core's /var/cache/apt/archive directory into each MDs /usr/pluto/deb-cache dir, and rebuild the Packages file in the /usr/pluto/deb-cache directory, remove all the other sources from /etc/apt/sources.list except the file entry pointing to deb-cache.
Try if you can get it working, and maybe even write a small script, doing the steps for you one after the other.
Good luck.
Thanks to all, Im not good in linux but I will give it my best. Maybe I find something usefull for all. The way I see it is that I see an option under webadmin that you could just click to the MD page and update/upgrade, maybe it is not possible, maybe it is. For now, a good script should be a good progress. I hope I get the knoledge soon to make my own script and share it to all.
I will Keep all posted.

Should work. Presumes MDs are on. Testing now. Can probably make a button in computing pretty easy. Will get back.
*I'm an idiot... that first one will exit after first moon unit is upgraded.

Can probably make a button in computing pretty easy.
Isn't there already a button under advanced called "upgrade" or something similar?
There is... but I believe this does not address MDs. I am thinking of just a global update button you can click if you want. I am also going to tar all of the md directories on the core, and try and use the systems db backup in case things go terribly wrong.
hari: done
Everyone else: completely redoing this and chrooting the MDs for upgrade. Ignore that first stumble into the idea. And the ticket has been closed. So much for a quick attack.
The ticket got closed, because we already have ticket 341 which does the same thing, and which already has most of the functionality in place (except the part of disabling the daemon autostart while in chroot). l3mce will take what we have, and add a few things to it.

That is where I am. Here is the output after upgrading... (note core had already been upgraded, and output was huge due to database upgrade)

I clearly have a couple things to fix, and a few things I already have.
***The latest script is untested. I believe it works as desired. Will test shortly... including force closing to test the trap.
Great work!
An observation:
MDs already mount the core's /usr/pluto/deb-cache when they boot, for chroot upgrades the directory can be bound locally (mount --bind /usr/pluto/deb-cache /usr/pluto/diskless/XX/usr/pluto/deb-cache) on the core, negating the need to copy the .debs to the /usr/pluto/diskless/* locations. Duplicating the contents of the core's /usr/pluto/deb-cache for each MD is redundant and adds up to a huge amount of HD space.
Upgrade the core, then copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb to /usr/pluto/deb-cache, run dpkg-scanpackages and gzip the Packages file. Then all MDs can have access to the latest files.

Thanks for the feedback.
On my 810 install, the only files that exist in the cores /var/cache/apt/archives are ones which upgrade. This is possibly a result of something in the past I have done.
Yes... it took me a couple of rereads to understand, and a little poking around to confirm, but you are exactly right... and that cleans this whole process up. Thank you very much. MUCH better way to handle it. I didn't realize a lot of that... and now I don't have to edit that Packages file... yay.
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/attachment/ticket/341/globalUpgrades.13.sh
That is so much cleaner. Will test in a few. Thanks again Phenigma! I have never used --bind before... I am presuming that I can umount the second directory in the bind when I am done with the process for each MD to avoid... weirdness.
Good stuff! Yep, unmount using the dir listed 2nd in the mount command.
I noticed that you're altering the init/startup scripts on the core instead of the MDs. This needs to be done for an MD that is updated via chroot, but not ssh. I'm attaching the version I tinkered with a little, it takes these things into account and should restore the original sources.list files. I admit I'm only just learning about trap now as well. I've tested it but not much. Keep up the good work!
J.
I also made a few changes...
My understanding was that I needed to address the scripts from the core, but expect you are correct. Thank you very much.
I do not understand:
mv /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d{,.lmce-update}
or
mv /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d{.lmce-update,}
Though in the Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh which I was stealing some of this method from it worked similarly. I was just moving the damned files obviously.
Also, if the files exist (as we make fakes), will this methodology require a -f (force) move to avoid overwrite confirmation?
How does this look?
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/attachment/ticket/341/globalUpgrades.15.sh
Other than not being as pretty as yours...
The scripts will be run from the MDs environment so the scripts need to be overridden there. Yes, the -f option should probably be used.
As for the {,.lmce-update}: the {A,B} substitutes a value of A for the first argument and substitutes the value of B for the second argument. So sometext{A,B} expands to: sometextA sometextB.

I figured that part out... I guess I just don't understand where lmce-update is coming from... and how it is available to both directories... I thought that was why I was creating the TEMP environment, and why I was just moving them about to and from there.
I really appreciate your help.
I see now that it creates /dir/file.lmce-update and then transfers it back.
Here is the latest. Had to move a bunch of stuff around.
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/attachment/ticket/341/globalUpgrades.16.sh
Now I need to incorporate the system backup function (I don't know if it is more than a sql dump) and exclude some directories from the tarring process... and then make a button under computing, which ideally spawns a monitor window, sort of like the web admin does for certain functions.
Dear All I´m very happy to see people interested on this topic, I really wish I could understand Linux more to help, I just dropped the idea but you guys are amazing :o, for me you are all talking in another language but I'm starting to learn little by little.
Keep up the good work, I wish I could bring the beers for moral support but I guess it will be a little bit difficult.
chears!

The best help would be to test it. Of course it is doing upgrade work, which can break things, and in an experimental way, which can break things... if you wanted to test, you might make a clonezilla backup to an external drive.
To test a script, just go download it (bottom of page of link, choose original format) on your core. Find it (typically in /root/Desktop if you use firefox in LMCE) and cd into the directory in a shell. Then do the following
chmod +x globalUpgrades.16.sh
./globalUpgrades.16.shsave the output of that window... and report successes or failures...
There are even backups made of the MDs in case things go haywire... and as I mentioned, I need to add some DB backup, and it becomes a fairly benign process.

The backup/restore process is a little more tricky.
The database is updated as the core is upgraded... Subsequent MD updates may have minor updates/changes applied to the database. Restoring the database from a backup would mean that the database information will be out of sync with the installed packages on the core. So a database restore should only be performed if the CORE packages would be restored to their original state as well. This is probably best done, by the user, through a clonezilla image or other external backup system. Perhaps there is a way to store a list of the upgraded packages to restore them at the same time as a database restore... This seems like it'd be pretty flaky.
Restoring a 'live' MD (one that is running) that had been upgraded through SSH means that the MD in question cannot simply be 'restored' from the backup directly. The machine would have to be powered down for the /usr/pluto/diskless/XX directory to be removed and then un-tar'd. Tricky, especially if someone is using the MD in question at the time.
Restoring an MD that is not running (updated through chroot) is trivial. The directory can be removed and restored from the .tar archive. Unless the MD is booted partway through the update/restore process... This would present an issue.
I think there are some big issues that would need to be addressed before any kind of restore capability could be implemented.
Other notes:
Use a variable for the DATE in your script, otherwise it is possible for a user to start the script one day and have the initial tar-ing of the backup archive, or the upgrades, take long enough it rolls over to the next day. For instance, lets say I start the script at 11:55pm, it tars for 20 minutes, and upgrades for 20 minutes. Later in the script the backup archive and the backed-up sources.list files will not be found because the date has rolled over to the next day... Perhaps just don't use the date in the backup name, unless you see a need for it to be there.
mv /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d{,.lmce-update}
mv /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/sbin/start-stop-daemon{,.lmce-update}
echo -en '#!/bin/bash\necho "WARNING: fake invoke-rc.d called"\n' > /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d
echo -en '#!/bin/bash\necho "WARNING: fake start-stop-daemon called"\n' > /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/sbin/start-stop-daemon
chmod +x /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d
chmod +x /sbin/start-stop-daemon
The first 4 lines, above, affect the desired scripts in the MDs directories. The 2 final 'chmod' lines unfortunately are affecting the files on the core, not the MDs where you just created the diversion scripts. Those two lines need to point to the /usr/pluto/diskless/XX/... structure so the appropriate files are affected.
rsh moon$moonDir apt-get update || /bin/true
rsh moon$moonDir apt-get -f -y upgrade
rsh moon$moonDir apt-get upgrade -f -y --force-yes
In this code the middle line should be 'apt-get upgrade -f -y install', rather than the two 'upgrade' commands.
cat /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/etc/apt/sources.list-`date +%Y%m%d`.bak > /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/etc/apt/sources.list
Are you using 'cat' here for a specific purpose? I would use 'mv' here rather than cat. Unless you see a need to maintain lots of chronological backup files. Again, perhaps drop the date portion and use another file extension (such as .lmce-update) or something else. This can be done with the 'mv' command and using {..}, like the backup of the scripts.
cp -ru /var/cache/apt/archives/* /usr/pluto/deb-cache
This line doesn't need the 'r' option. I would also alter this and 'mv' (move) the files rather than duplicating them and comsuming the extra HD space. The only files that need to be affected here are the '*.deb' files, you don't want to move any sub-directories from ../apt/archives/ to ../pluto/deb-cache/ -- just the .deb files.
dpkg-scanpackages /usr/pluto/deb-cache /dev/null | gzip -9c > /usr/pluto/deb-cache/Packages.gz
Although I havn't tested it, this line will not create the 'Packages' file, only the 'Packages.gz' file. I did this is a couple steps in the version I edited to ensure both files are created. I think the both files are required, but I am not certain.
The cleanup trap should probably umount the bound deb-cache folder for the chroot updated MDs.
Wow, lots to look at! Keep it up!
J.
I am running out the door, but just wanted to comment on the Packages thing...
It does indeed create a Packages file, then zips it up.
# dpkg-scanpackages /usr/pluto/deb-cache /dev/null | gzip -9c > /usr/pluto/deb-cache/Packages.gz

The backup/restore process is a little more tricky.
The database is updated as the core is upgraded... Subsequent MD updates may have minor updates/changes applied to the database. Restoring the database from a backup would mean that the database information will be out of sync with the installed packages on the core. So a database restore should only be performed if the CORE packages would be restored to their original state as well. This is probably best done, by the user, through a clonezilla image or other external backup system. Perhaps there is a way to store a list of the upgraded packages to restore them at the same time as a database restore... This seems like it'd be pretty flaky.
Restoring a 'live' MD (one that is running) that had been upgraded through SSH means that the MD in question cannot simply be 'restored' from the backup directly. The machine would have to be powered down for the /usr/pluto/diskless/XX directory to be removed and then un-tar'd. Tricky, especially if someone is using the MD in question at the time.
Restoring an MD that is not running (updated through chroot) is trivial. The directory can be removed and restored from the .tar archive. Unless the MD is booted partway through the update/restore process... This would present an issue.
Yes. I have to do something much more substantial to prevent this from occurring. I am intending now to use the General_Info_Plugin to show progress in pending tasks, and I need to lock certain tasks like reboots, and work out a scheme to prevent MD booting while this process happens.
Quote from: phenigma on June 13, 2011, 05:45:54 PMI think there are some big issues that would need to be addressed before any kind of restore capability could be implemented.
I think you are right. That is now backburner, and once I get everything else licked I will look at it again.
Quote from: phenigma on June 13, 2011, 05:45:54 PMOther notes:
Use a variable for the DATE in your script, otherwise it is possible for a user to start the script one day and have the initial tar-ing of the backup archive, or the upgrades, take long enough it rolls over to the next day. For instance, lets say I start the script at 11:55pm, it tars for 20 minutes, and upgrades for 20 minutes. Later in the script the backup archive and the backed-up sources.list files will not be found because the date has rolled over to the next day... Perhaps just don't use the date in the backup name, unless you see a need for it to be there.
The problem I was trying to overcome by using the date, was in which people did an upgrade, and it did not produce the desired results, and they ran it again, it would hose the good backup. The worst thing to happen from the backup not being found, over the midnight hour, would be that a second backup would occur. This also protects the original sources.list from being overwritten... of course that could happen a different way.

mv /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d{,.lmce-update}
mv /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/sbin/start-stop-daemon{,.lmce-update}
echo -en '#!/bin/bash\necho "WARNING: fake invoke-rc.d called"\n' > /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d
echo -en '#!/bin/bash\necho "WARNING: fake start-stop-daemon called"\n' > /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/sbin/start-stop-daemon
chmod +x /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d
chmod +x /sbin/start-stop-daemon
The first 4 lines, above, affect the desired scripts in the MDs directories. The 2 final 'chmod' lines unfortunately are affecting the files on the core, not the MDs where you just created the diversion scripts. Those two lines need to point to the /usr/pluto/diskless/XX/... structure so the appropriate files are affected.
Yes... I thought I fixed that... and I am also moving those on the core because I believe something in them affects the MDs... but I was confused on this issue. I will figure out exactly what they do and what I need to do. Thank you very much.

rsh moon$moonDir apt-get update || /bin/true
rsh moon$moonDir apt-get -f -y upgrade
rsh moon$moonDir apt-get upgrade -f -y --force-yes
In this code the middle line should be 'apt-get upgrade -f -y install', rather than the two 'upgrade' commands.
Yes... yes it should.

cat /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/etc/apt/sources.list-`date +%Y%m%d`.bak > /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/etc/apt/sources.list
Are you using 'cat' here for a specific purpose? I would use 'mv' here rather than cat. Unless you see a need to maintain lots of chronological backup files. Again, perhaps drop the date portion and use another file extension (such as .lmce-update) or something else. This can be done with the 'mv' command and using {..}, like the backup of the scripts.
I tend to use cat to avoid confirmation issues. That just overwrites the file.

cp -ru /var/cache/apt/archives/* /usr/pluto/deb-cache
This line doesn't need the 'r' option. I would also alter this and 'mv' (move) the files rather than duplicating them and comsuming the extra HD space. The only files that need to be affected here are the '*.deb' files, you don't want to move any sub-directories from ../apt/archives/ to ../pluto/deb-cache/ -- just the .deb files.
I had a weirdo nVidia folder so I did for good measure... I went back and forth on cp vs mv. I am not a big fan of duplication. I will change it.
Quote from: phenigma on June 13, 2011, 05:45:54 PMThe cleanup trap should probably umount the bound deb-cache folder for the chroot updated MDs.
Wow, lots to look at! Keep it up!
J.
You are right... it should. I thought:
umount /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/usr/pluto/deb-cachewould do that.
It is so incredibly helpful to have fresh eyes reading giving feedback.
The latest script has a cheap global alert up to remind not to interfere with the process. I actually built a ridiculous graphic progress meter for it... but didn't bother including it because I need to do it the right way.
