Solution Pack objects not installed about isle HOT 9 CLOSED

Could this be our race condition in play? Since this was not the first time starting the containers I just did a 'docker-compose up -d' rather than starting them in the prescribed order.

@McFateM This feels like a race condition for sure. Having recently rebuilt and tested on Friday, I did not encounter this as I didn't use docker-compose up -d instead launching each container individually.

I don't know why this matters as most of the solution packs are installed later AFTER the containers spin up.

@McFateM I'm not sure how to do that as an automated call as the script would need to poll tomcat and see if the webapp fedora is running? Perhaps some tomcat folks could advise here.

One can check http://fedora:8080/manager/html and restart the fedora service manually in case of this failure.

I can say from experience I"ve encountered random fedora service stops but not on ISLE (yet).

@McFateM We can include it in the documentation for sure. Will revise this week.

Hi,

My 2cents

I have seen this issue with failed tuque connections/wrong authentication/XACML problems, but not on fresh ISLE deployments.

A simple way to check if Fedora is running (which won't mean always Islandora is able to actually connect to Fedora, there could be even drupal filter authentication issues that hinder the SP object´s to be deployed?) would be to run a bash script like

#/bin/bash
checkifalive_response=$(curl -sL -w "%{http_code}"   "http://fedora:8080/fedora" -o /dev/null --connect-timeout 3 --max-time 10)

if [ "$checkifalive_response" == "200" ] ;
then
   echo "continue"
else
   echo "KABOOM"
fi

To make sure islandora is connecting to fedora, i would prefer a simple PHP script that actually bootstraps Drupal/tuque and uses a real fedora user. Simply to code.

PS: Nothing here is something I invented, mostly copy and pasted from some random forums. I actually like the idea of services being checked instead of only being assumed running.

Closing ticket as @McFateM 's original request to have plain wording advising the enduser to manually check if the fedora service is running has been added to the alphaquickstartguide.md with this commit Not merged to master yet
