<li>Work on preparation of new server for DSpace 7 migration
<ul>
<li>I’m not quite sure what we need to do for the Handle server</li>
<li>For now I just ran the <code>dspace make-handle-config</code> script and diffed it with the one from DSpace 6</li>
<li>I sent the bundle to the Handle admins to make sure it’s OK before we do the migration</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Continue testing and debugging the cgspace-java-helpers on DSpace 7</li>
<li>Work on IFPRI ISNAR archive cleanup</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>I haven’t heard from the Handle admins so I’m preparing a backup solution using nginx streams</li>
<li>This seems to work in my simple tests (this must be outside the <code>http {}</code> block):</li>
</ul>
<pretabindex="0"><code>stream {
upstream handle_tcp_9000 {
server 188.34.177.10:9000;

proxy_timeout 3s;
proxy_pass handle_tcp_9000;

</code></pre><ul>
<li>Here I forwarded a test TCP port 9000 from one server to another and was able to retrieve a test HTML that was running on the target
<ul>
<li>I will have to do TCP and UDP on port 2641, and TCP/HTTP on port 8000.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I did some more minor work on the IFPRI ISNAR archive
<ul>
<li>I got some PDFs from the UMN AgEcon search and fixed some metadata</li>
<li>Then I did some duplicate checking and found five items already on CGSpace</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2id="2024-01-04">2024-01-04</h2>
<ul>
<li>Upload 692 items for the ISNAR archive to CGSpace: <ahref="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/136192">https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/136192</a></li>
<li>Help Peter proof and upload 252 items from the 2023 Gender conference to CGSpace</li>
<li>Meeting with IFPRI to discuss their migration to CGSpace
<ul>
<li>We agreed to add two new fields, one for IFPRI project and one for IFPRI publication ranking</li>
<li>Most likely we will use <code>cg.identifier.project</code> as a general field and consolidate other project fields there</li>
<li>Not sure which field to use for the publication rank…</li>

<ul>
<li>Proof and upload 51 items in bulk for IFPRI</li>
<li>I did a big cleanup of user groups in anticipation of complaints about slow workflow tasks etc in DSpace 7
<ul>
<li>I removed ILRI editors from all the dozens of CCAFS community and collection groups, and I should do the same for other CRPs since they are closed for two years now</li>
<li>High load on the server and UptimeRobot saying the frontend is flapping
<ul>
<li>I noticed tons of logs from pm2 in the systemd journal, so I disabled those in the systemd unit because they are available from pm2’s log directory anyway</li>
<li>I also noticed the same for Solr, so I disabled stdout for that systemd unit as well</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I spent a lot of time bringing back the nginx rate limits we used in DSpace 6 and it seems to have helped</li>
<li>Export list of publishers for Peter to select some amount to use as a controlled vocabulary:</li>
