Support scripts for Neubot on M-Lab.

Update to latest neubot-server

cd neubot-server
git checkout mlab
git pull
cd ..
git commit -am "Update to latest neubot-server"

Build RPM from development branch

Login on a development machine (e.g. neubot.mlab.mlab4.prg01.measurement-lab.org), then:

Install development tools

sudo yum --disablerepo=epel groupinstall -y 'Development tools'

Clone the repository

cd /tmp
rm -rf mlab-neubot-support
git clone --recursive -b develop https://github.com/neubot/mlab-neubot-support.git

Run the slicebuild.sh script

cd mlab-neubot-support
git tag
git checkout $tag # very important to make the RPM package
./package/slicebuild.sh mlab_neubot
find /tmp -type f -name \*.rpm
# scp the generated rpm from that sliver to your machine

Test the new RPM

You can use the deploy.sh script to test the RPM to another testing sliver (e.g. neubot.mlab.mlab1.nuq0t.measurement-lab.org).

Run:

./deploy.sh $rpm neubot.mlab.mlab1.nuq0t.measurement-lab.org

Check list for testing

• deploy on a testing machine
• test using ./test.sh
• make sure test results are written on disk and parse as JSON
• make sure rsync and syslog are running on the sliver
• make sure the memory usage of neubot and botticelli is reasonable
• both are running under the expected non privileged user
• data is being collected from the sliver
