Re-indexing a package

If the indexing of a package in PackageCloud fails, someone will need to re-index the package.

Failed indexing will show stack traces in the /var/log/packagecloud/packagecloud-rails/rpm_indexer.log or /var/log/packagecloud/packagecloud-rails/deb_indexer.log (depending on the package type). And will still have the 'Indexing' yellow label in the UI. (Note that sometimes indexing can take an hour or two if the node is busy (if its in the middle of a backup for example), so verify that errors are occurring by checking the logs before re-indexing)

Manually trigger a re-index

Once sshed into the node, switch to the packagecloud user, navigate to the packagecloud rails service, and launch the rails console:

$ sudo su - packagecloud
$ bash
$ cd /opt/packagecloud/embedded/service/packagecloud-rails/
$ /opt/packagecloud/embedded/bin/bundle exec rails console -e onpremise

Once the rails console has loaded, copy in this helper function to help re-indexing.

def package_reindex(repo, path)
  package_info = path.split('/')
  distro_version = Distribution.find_by_index_name!(package_info[0]).distro_versions.find_by(index_name: package_info[1])
  repository = Repository.find_by(name: repo, user_id: 7)
  repository.find_package_by_dist_filename(distro_version_id:  distro_version.id, package: package_info[2]).reindex
end

Then you can call the function to re-index your packages.

package_reindex('gitlab-ce', 'el/7/gitlab-ce-11.4.12-ce.0.el7.x86_64.rpm')
  • The first parameter is the repository (gitlab-ce, gitlab-ee, unstable, nightly)
  • The second parameter is the index path, indexed by distribution and filename. (distro)/(distro_version)/(filename). Which can be copied from the package url in the PackageCloud UI. For a package at https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/packages/el/7/gitlab-ce-11.4.12-ce.0.el7.x86_64.rpm we would use el/7/gitlab-ce-11.4.12-ce.0.el7.x86_64.rpm
