PM Software Stack

From Pulsed Media Wiki
Revision as of 02:57, 8 June 2011 by Nucode (talk | contribs) (style fix)

PMSS, short of PM Software Stack is a compilation of scripts to manage single server side seedbox configuration, turning instantly and conveniently an regular Debian 5.0 server into a seedbox. The PMSS does not contain multiserver management utilities nor clustering support out-of-box, but does include PM Master GUI remote update features. Debian 6.0 squeeze support is still in unstable status but several production servers already do exist. PMSS currently only supports rTorrent+ruTorrent stack.

Changelog

8/6/2011

Bug fixes.

terminateUser.php:

  • Was not actually completing shell userdeletion
  • Added killing user processes (forgotten)
  • added sleeping 2 seconds to allow time for rTorrent/other processes by user to die
  • Added 2nd attempt to userdel after data removal
  • Fixed some typos in texts
  • Added check for user actually exists

NOTE: Still Alpha, non feature complete and not recommended for production use.

  • checkHttpd.php added sleep between lighttpd kill and restart, to avoid PID file mismatch scenario

update-step2.php:

  • First time being used
  • update.php moved cron & ftp config stuff AFTER step2
  • Install vnstat + vim (vim not by default on Debian 6)
  • Setup interface for vnstat
  • Configure vnstat for Debian 6
  • Make vnstat cron jobs for Debian 5: twice a minute update (thus no support for 1GigE interface)
  • Debian 5 add cron jobs to root.cron.additional config, create if needed

31/5/2011

  • GUI welcome page checking if proper quota information was passed has been added.
  • GUI welcome page malformed serialized data fix
  • GUI welcome page quota percentage missing % char
  • GUI welcome page quota text styles: White and location

30/5/2011

  • GUI update script quota checking added (doesn't try to update when user is over quota burst limit, no more blanking GUI when update happens!)
  • Users default quota information update rate has been increased to 10mins
  • HDD Quota plugin commenting added
  • HDD Quota plugin parser bug with bursted amounts fixed
  • HDD Quota now shows USED/QUOTA instead of FREE/QUOTA. Makes more sense.
  • HDD Quota "title" fixed (showing quota info) to be whole area of the meter
  • Welcome page quota meter added :) Basic graph, larger and constantly visible text for quota info :)
  • Basic idempotent lighttpd configurator (alpha, not suitable for production, TESTING only)

23/5/2011

  • terminateUser.php http password deletion fix, text fixes, executability.
  • checkHttpd.php output lighttpd output, killall -9 lighttpd to ensure shutdown, http fetch mute removed so error gets logged
  • update.php: removed apt updates because soft.sh already does this
  • crons: increased check http to 4 minute intervals (avoid http timeout period issues)

18/5/2011

Temporary fix to bypass userDb until fully utilized. You may use this update or use /scripts/util/populateUserDb.php to fix the issue.

  • Changed listUsers.php to always use systemUsers.php, as fixing userDb saving introduced a bug where ie. checkInstances was not working fully (using userDb, which lacks most users in most servers)

16/5/2011

Few bug fixes and minor features introduced.

  • Update script order of items.
  • Update script apt-get options for additional package installation lacked auto confirm.
  • Update script support for "step 2", /scripts/util/update-step2.php is included if present, thus supporting dynamic updates
  • Update script execute binary line added, so it can actually be executed simply by ./update.php
  • /scripts permission fix, only root should have anykind of access (no execute or read for others)
  • Support for root additional items via /etc/seedbox/config/root.cron.additional
  • Add user script minor cleanup, additional commenting.
  • Suspend script comments
  • simple terminate user script, ALPHA -> not feature complete yet.

Couple important new features introduced, several bug fixes.

  • Fixed typo in /scripts/util/userConfig.php
  • Added /etc/seedbox/config/root.cron

  • users class now saves the user db upon save
