Vidjil is a software developed in Lille, France devoted to the analysis of V(D)J rearrangements. It is freely available and we have installed a production version and a number of test versions at the Boldrini Research Center (BRC). The production instance runs in a dedicated server.

Maintenance tasks:

- perform backup - renew SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt) - keep it up-to-date with the Lille version - develop specific addons for our own use

To renew the certificates:

- this operation must be done between 1 and 8 days before expiration. - certificed machine name: vidjil.boldrini.org.br - go to the <docker-dir> and impersonate a super-user: 'sudo su joao.m' (<docker-dir> is probably /home/vidjil/code/2020-vidjil/docker). - do 'docker-compose -f <docker-compose-yml> down' to prevent Vidjil from disturbing standalone verification. Use the most recent file of the form docker-compose-boldrini-YYYY-MM-DD.yml as <docker-compose-yml>. - renew the certificate:

sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d vidjil.boldrini.org.br

- issue the extra commands below to make sure the renewal is seen by Vidjil:

sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/vidjil.boldrini.org.br/fullchain.pem /home/vidjil/code/2020-vidjil/docker/vidjil-client/ssl/fullchain.pem sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/vidjil.boldrini.org.br/privkey.pem /home/vidjil/code/2020-vidjil/docker/vidjil-client/ssl/privkey.pem

- make sure file privkey.pem has permissions 0600 and owner root:root - do 'docker-compose -f <docker-compose-yml> up -d' to restart Vidjil. Use the same yml file as above. - visit vidjil.boldrini.org.br to confirm the new certificate in on. - mark your calendar a date for the next renewal.
