- Work on preparation of new server for DSpace 7 migration
- I’m not quite sure what we need to do for the Handle server
- For now I just ran the
dspace make-handle-config script and diffed it with the one from DSpace 6
- I sent the bundle to the Handle admins to make sure it’s OK before we do the migration
- Continue testing and debugging the cgspace-java-helpers on DSpace 7
- Work on IFPRI ISNAR archive cleanup
2024-01-03
- I haven’t heard from the Handle admins so I’m preparing a backup solution using nginx streams
- This seems to work in my simple tests (this must be outside the
http {} block):
stream {
upstream handle_tcp_9000 {
server 188.34.177.10:9000;
}
server {
listen 9000;
proxy_connect_timeout 1s;
proxy_timeout 3s;
proxy_pass handle_tcp_9000;
}
}
- 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
- I will have to do TCP and UDP on port 2641, and TCP/HTTP on port 8000.
- I did some more minor work on the IFPRI ISNAR archive
- I got some PDFs from the UMN AgEcon search and fixed some metadata
- Then I did some duplicate checking and found five items already on CGSpace
2024-01-04
- Upload 692 items for the ISNAR archive to CGSpace: https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/136192
- Help Peter proof and upload 252 items from the 2023 Gender conference to CGSpace
- Meeting with IFPRI to discuss their migration to CGSpace
- We agreed to add two new fields, one for IFPRI project and one for IFPRI publication ranking
- Most likely we will use
cg.identifier.project as a general field and consolidate other project fields there
- Not sure which field to use for the publication rank…
2024-01-05
- Proof and upload 51 items in bulk for IFPRI
- I did a big cleanup of user groups in anticipation of complaints about slow workflow tasks etc in DSpace 7
- 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

- Migrate CGSpace to DSpace 7
2024-01-07
- High load on the server and UptimeRobot saying the frontend is flapping
- 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
- I also noticed the same for Solr, so I disabled stdout for that systemd unit as well
- I spent a lot of time bringing back the nginx rate limits we used in DSpace 6 and it seems to have helped
