Vidjil

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.
• certified machine name: vidjil.boldrini.org.br
• go to the <docker-dir> and impersonate a super-user: sudo su joao.m (<docker-dir> is currently /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.
