Hi @nobicycle, in order to reproduce it:

is /mnt in a diferent disk volume?
are you using apache or nginx?

nobicycle · 2020-06-09T02:15:50Z

@jredrejo
Yes, different disk and different partition.

I don't understand the relevance of the question about web server - the browser is simply accessing the internal Kolibri webserver.

BTW This was broken in the past.
#4227

benjaoming commented
symlinks are very powerful mechanisms for distributing massive amounts of contents over several partitions and devices. Also in the case that the database is desired to run on a small, fast drive, while content is stored on a larger, slower drive. Therefore, I think we should keep up the effort to support it, although I agree that now that we have movedirectory, this is obviously cleaner and safer to communicate to normal users.

No, when using apache or nginx, the standard configuration uses it to serve content resources. They are not served by the internal webserver. Neither apache nor nginx can follow symlinks that are in different system partitions. So, this is a very important point.

That was the reason to add a new option, STATIC_USE_SYMLINKS, in #6925.
Please, add it to your options.ini file using this format:

[Deployment]
STATIC_USE_SYMLINKS = False

and check if the problem is solved after restarting your server.

nobicycle · 2020-06-09T13:36:53Z

Hello jredrejo.
Thanks for the reply.

"No, when using apache or nginx, the standard configuration uses it to serve content resources."

So Kolibri is detecting if either of these webservers is installed and using one of them them?

In my case I have both apache and nginx installed.

How shall I determine which one Kolibri is using?

If I uninstall nginx and apache then Kolibri will fallback to its internal webserver?

How can I force Kolibri to use its internal webserver (old behavior)?

"add it to your options.ini file using this format:"

Which ini file? I have no ini file in /etc/{nginx,httpd} or in /opt/kolibri

I tried setting the environment variable as follows in my systemd overide file
/etc/systemd/system/kolibri.service.d/override.conf


[Service]
Environment='KOLIBRI_HOME=/opt/kolibri'
Environment='STATIC_USE_SYMLINKS=False'
Environment='KOLIBRI_LISTEN_PORT=8087'

After restarting kolibri service, kolibri in the browser showed nothing.

I will retest after I have answers to some of the questions above.

Thanks

Hello jredrejo.
Thanks for the reply.

hello @nobicycle answering inline

"No, when using apache or nginx, the standard configuration uses it to serve content resources."

So Kolibri is detecting if either of these webservers is installed and using one of them them?

No, these urls are static routes in Kolibri. When using apache or nginx, they are usually bypassed to nginx control to be more efficiently used. Example using nginx:

...
location /static {
    alias  /home/jose/.kolibri/static;
    expires 365d;
    add_header Cache-Control "public";
}
location /content {
    alias  /home/jose/.kolibri/content/;
    expires 365d;
    add_header Cache-Control "public";
}
...

If you are not doing this location change they are still statically handled by cherrypy (kolibri internal webserver). I have not found any reference in Cherrypy docs about this, but it's likely it has the same problem following symlinks to different partitions.

In my case I have both apache and nginx installed.

How shall I determine which one Kolibri is using?

It depends on how you have configure them. If you are not using them to proxy kolibri , you are not using them.

If I uninstall nginx and apache then Kolibri will fallback to its internal webserver?

no need. it's on you to decide in apache or nginx configuration to proxy kolibri or not.

How can I force Kolibri to use its internal webserver (old behavior)?

"add it to your options.ini file using this format:"

Which ini file? I have no ini file in /etc/{nginx,httpd} or in /opt/kolibri

Ah, sorry, my fault, I thought you were aware of the kolibri options.ini file. It is in the kolibri directory: https://kolibri.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manage/get_support.html#home

nobicycle · 2020-06-11T04:20:14Z

"I have not found any reference in Cherrypy docs about this, but it's likely it has the same problem following symlinks to different partitions."

The issue I have is why symlinks, including symlinks pointing to different disks, suddenly stopped working. Pointing to different disks is necessary as argued by @benjaoming in the comment above.

It is not likely a human error on my part since I have a simple bash script INSTALL_kolibri that has been run for years. Very simple:

KOLIBRI_stop
chown -R :$KOLIBRI_USER "$DIR/content"
chmod g+w "$DIR/content" -R
sudo ln -s "$DIR/content" "$KOLIBRI_HOME/content"
KOLIBRI_start

(DIR is the storage location of Kolibri content)

Symlinks did stop working as mentioned in #6925, but later they got fixed. So if nothing has changed in Kolibri, that would point the finger at Cherrypy, that has suddenly stopped supporting symlinks.

I will try the ini file suggestion, but surely using a systemd environment file to pass variables is equivalent?

nobicycle · 2020-06-11T04:48:33Z

So ... Kolibri was reinstalled and in the browser the initial admin account created etc. Options.ini -

In the browser Kolibri forgot the configuration already done and asked to setup the facility again.
I went through the setup again. Once again no existing content (128 GB) was visible.

nobicycle · 2020-06-11T15:37:27Z

I reverted to kolibri 0.12.8, installing using a script that has worked for years ... and all works perfectly.

Quoting @benjaoming again ...
symlinks are very powerful mechanisms for distributing massive amounts of contents over several partitions and devices. Also in the case that the database is desired to run on a small, fast drive, while content is stored on a larger, slower drive. Therefore, I think we should keep up the effort to support it, although I agree that now that we have movedirectory, this is obviously cleaner and safer to communicate to normal users.

Shame we have lost it somewhere between 0.12.8 and 0.13.3

My kolibri partition is unable to have 128G moved onto it, so movedirectory is out of the question unless I upgrade my hardware . Because of cost I would have to use a slow kolibri disk drive - almost certainly erasing any benefits of nginx serving static files.

jredrejo · 2020-06-11T17:21:03Z

Shame we have lost it somewhere between 0.12.8 and 0.13.3

There is a change in 0.13.3 to use symlinks and save a lot of space in the users content folders. It should work well for all the users excepting those corner cases as yours . For your case the STATIC_USE_SYMLINKS=False option was created, forcing Kolibri to have the same behaviour it had previously.

I know this has been tested by some of the LE staff because in the online servers, the content folder is stored in a separate partition and it's working correctly, so there must be something else causing your problem.

I would like to be able to reproduce your problem so we can understand what's happening in your case. In a previous comment I see your folder structure. So, if in order to reproduce it, we should:

Create a new kolibri installation from scratch
Move the content folder to a different partition and add a symlink to it from the .kolibri folder.

Is that all, or is there anything else needed to reproduce it?

nobicycle · 2020-06-12T08:09:20Z

Well there's all the systemd stuff and overrides for environment variables. Let me see if I can export a single script that does the lot.
So 13.2 should work as in the past. I'll test that too.

If you have the time, I'd be interested to know how the Kolibri symlinks/static serving saves space and how much, or is there something in the docs?

nobicycle · 2020-06-12T08:30:37Z

Using the same script as 12.8, 13.2 install failed: no content was available post install.

The difference between 12.8 and 13.2 is the step:

Under 12.8 this step takes a few minutes as Kolibri is dealing with the 128G content. Under 13.2 this step takes no time at all.

Seems like STATIC_USE_SYMLINKS is not the issue.

nobicycle · 2020-06-19T01:41:55Z

Just tested on 0.13.0 - links that work on 12.8 fail here too.

"There is a change in 0.13.3 to use symlinks and save a lot of space in the users content folders. It should work well for all the users excepting those corner cases as yours ."

The Linux platform/file system links is not a "corner case". @benjaoming put forward the strong case for supporting Linux in #4227

0.13.3 is not the problem - it began with 0.13.0

indirectlylit · 2020-06-19T16:29:32Z

It's unfortunately uncommon enough that it slipped by without anyone noticing. In order to maintain support, we'll need to add explicit testing of the scenario in our integration testing stories:

https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/tree/develop/integration_testing/features

@nobicycle if it's possible for you to summarize the steps to reproduce using roughly the format of our integration tests above, we can incorporate the scenario into our standard regression testing process

nobicycle · 2020-06-20T04:56:32Z

OK.

pip install kolibri into a python 3.6 virtual environment.

$ python3.6 -V
Python 3.6.9

2.Stop Kolibri and replace the content directory with a soft link to the content directory on a separate disk to the disk used by Kolibri and make sure Kolibri has permissions on the linked directory.

$ ls /opt/kolibri/ -l
total 269560
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root    root           40 Jun 19 09:42 content -> /mnt/System/Applications/Kolibri/content

drwxr-xr-x 29 kolibri kolibri      4096 Jun 19 09:42 static

Restart Kolibri. A wait of about 3 minutes is required whilst Kolibri digests the 128 GB of content (in my case): but only for Kolibri 0.12.8. The 0.13.X versions do not process anything and return immediately.

For completeness I include the systemd config files, but this is not relevant since the above occurs running manually.

stop kolibri

run rm /opt/kolibri/.data_version

start kolibri

refresh the page

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Hi,
I didn't mention it in the steps I gave above, but the installs I have done are from a completely empty system. That is, /opt/kolibri was not existing prior to install. I assume .data_version is a necessary file and with a fresh install it will contain the appropriate version.

Or are you suggesting the fact of using a symbolic link to content causes data_version to become corrupted? In which case, after I start kolibri and content import fails, the steps you outlined are necessary?

lyw07 · 2020-07-03T22:28:55Z

Hi @nobicycle , sorry I should have explained my steps in my last message. In my humble opinion, your contents are not visible in Kolibri because they haven't been imported into the Kolibri database. In 0.12.8, we ran a function to import all the content databases in the KOLIBRI_HOME/content folder that are not in the Kolibri database (db.sqlite3) yet into it when upgrading Kolibri, which matches with what you mentioned here

Under 12.8 this step takes a few minutes as Kolibri is dealing with the 128G content

In 0.13.3, the behavior has been changed, and we only do so when upgrading from a version lower than 0.6.0. By deleting the .data_version file, we are faking the condition here so your content databases in the content directory that haven't existed in the db.sqlite3 will be imported into the database file. And .data_version file will be recreated when running kolibri start.

If you would like to not touch the .data_version file, here is another command you can use which has the same functionality:

stop kolibri
run KOLIBRI_HOME=/opt/kolibri kolibri manage scanforcontent
start kolibri

indirectlylit · 2020-07-03T22:55:38Z

Ah - that makes sense. Sounds like symlinks were likely unrelated to the issue - my guess is the same behavior could be reproduced even in the default content directory.

If this was working before, it was not because of supported or documented behavior. As @lyw07 mentioned it's necessary to run scanforcontent to explicitly make Kolibri aware of content by adding it to the database.

However, please note that scanforcontent is also not publicly documented, and behaviors might change in a future version of Kolibri. The reason is that there is not a direct relationship between files in a content directory and the way that things get displayed in Kolibri. The brute force method of "show literally everything" works in many cases, but breaks for scenarios where the user wants to be more selective about what is displayed.

One other thing to be aware of is that in 0.14 we added a new CONTENT_FALLBACK_DIRS option. Just flagging that while symlinks should work fine, this is another strategy of achieving similar goals: #6865

indirectlylit · 2020-07-03T23:01:08Z

@nobicycle feel free to test with our 0.14 betas here https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/wiki/0.14.0-beta-testing

nobicycle · 2020-07-04T07:16:00Z

@lyw07 What you say makes perfect sense. I feel sure you have solved the problem.
@indirectlylit Yes I'll test on the beta and report back. I will test CONTENT_FALLBACK_DIRS as well. It should be :

CONTENT_FALLBACK_DIRS='/mnt/System/Applications/Kolibri/content'

in my case?

or
CONTENT_FALLBACK_DIRS='/mnt/System/Applications/Kolibri'
?

nobicycle · 2020-07-05T04:07:24Z

The environment variable method did not work

See kolibri-session.txt
First I began with repeatedly setting the environment variable
Environment='CONTENT_FALLBACK_DIRS="/mnt/System/Applications/Kolibri/content"'

as follows:

sudo nano  /etc/systemd/system/kolibri.service.d/override.conf 
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl stop kolibri
sudo systemctl status kolibri
sudo systemctl restart  kolibri

I tried :
"/mnt/System/Applications/Kolibri"_
"/mnt/System/Applications/Kolibri/content"_

and also those same two values without double quotes

CONTENT_FALLBACK_DIRS did not trigger processing the content.

Kolibri logs also attached.
kolibri.txt
daemon.txt
kolibri-session.txt

nobicycle · 2020-07-05T04:28:08Z

The file removal method WORKED!

I'm glad that file removal worked for you! For CONTENT_FALLBACK_DIRS, since you are using the environment variable instead of a field in the option.ini file in KOLIBRI_HOME directory here, the name needs to be prefixed with KOLIBRI_ so Kolibri can detect its value. I think in your case, it needs to be set to

Environment='KOLIBRI_CONTENT_FALLBACK_DIRS="/mnt/System/Applications/Kolibri/content"'

Please feel free to let us know if the environment variable change still doesn't work for you. Thank you!

Thanks @lyw07

I'm bored with testing for now and glad kolibri is back up.
Unless it is urgent to test the KOLIBRI_CONTENT_FALLBACK_DIRS then I will test in next release.
Is that OK?

Hi @nobicycle ,

Yes definitely, please feel free to do so whenever you would like to. It is not urgent at all :)
