The hound project has undergone a small re-birth and moved to
https://github.com/hound-search/hound
which has broken our deployment. We've talked about leaving
codesearch up to gitea, but it's not quite there yet. There seems to
be no point working on the puppet now.
This builds a container than runs houndd. It's an opendev specific
container; the config is pulled from project-config directly.
There's some custom scripts that drive things. Some points for
reviewers:
- update-hound-config.sh uses "create-hound-config" (which is in
jeepyb for historical reasons) to generate the config file. It
grabs the latest projects.yaml from project-config and exits with a
return code to indicate if things changed.
- when the container starts, it runs update-hound-config.sh to
populate the initial config. There is a testing environment flag
and small config so it doesn't have to clone the entire opendev for
functional testing.
- it runs under supervisord so we can restart the daemon when
projects are updated. Unlike earlier versions that didn't start
listening till indexing was done, this version now puts up a "Hound
is not ready yet" message when while it is working; so we can drop
all the magic we were doing to probe if hound is listening via
netstat and making Apache redirect to a status page.
- resync-hound.sh is run from an external cron job daily, and does
this update and restart check. Since it only reloads if changes
are made, this should be relatively rare anyway.
- There is a PR to monitor the config file
(https://github.com/hound-search/hound/pull/357) which would mean
the restart is unnecessary. This would be good in the near and we
could remove the cron job.
- playbooks/roles/codesearch is unexciting and deploys the container,
certificates and an apache proxy back to localhost:6080 where hound
is listening.
I've combined removal of the old puppet bits here as the "-codesearch"
namespace was already being used.
