Replace Mogstored with nginx

[Jon Skarpeteig]

What does Mogstored do (as seen by tracker), except WebDAV and usage
file generation?

Would it be sufficient to crontab a script to write usage files (or
not, and defunct the IO usage), and use nginx for WebDAV - as a
complete replacement of mogstored? E.G Checksumming (md5) calculation?
Or is this done at tracker?

[Gernot Vormayr]

mogstored can be used with --server=none (or server=none in the config file). This mode just generates the usage file.

I did it this way and use nginx as webdav server by its side in production on serveral sites and this works.

Example nginx config:

-----8<----------8<--------

server

{

        listen                                  *:7500;

        root                            /<path_to_data>;

        location /

        {

                autoindex                       on;

        }

        location /<devicename>/

        {

                client_body_temp_path           /<path_to_data>/<devicename>/.tmp;

                dav_methods                     PUT DELETE;

                create_full_put_path            on;

                dav_access                      user:rw  group:rw  all:r;

        }

}

-----8<----------8<--------

Example mogstored config

-----8<----------8<--------

mgmtlisten=0.0.0.0:7501

docroot=/<path_to_data>/

server=none

-----8<----------8<--------

don't forget to replace <path_to_data> and <devicename>

"mogadm settings set skip_mkcol 1" speeds up this setup a bit (just PUTs), but isn't necessary.

Checksumming is done by the tracker if the server doesn't send a content-md5 header as far as I know, but I could be mistaken (I don't use checksumming). http://www.rackspace.com/blog/add-the-content-md5-http-header-to-nginx/ implements content-md5 header for nginx with the perl module - I haven't tried that one yet.

Hope I could help,

I'd recommend you try cmogstored. It is all "self-contained" and requires no configuration.

this finally got me to try it out, alas:

[david@ops-1 cmogstored{master}]$ git checkout v1.2.1

[david@ops-1 cmogstored{(no branch)}]$ ./configure 

configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in build-aux "."/build-aux

[david@ops-1 cmogstored{(no branch)}]$ find . -name install.sh 

[david@ops-1 cmogstored{(no branch)}]$ 

help?

If you're building from git, you need gnulib + ragel to bootstrap
everything (see HACKING).

The tarball is bootstrapped and intended for normal users:
http://bogomips.org/cmogstored/files/cmogstored-1.2.1.tar.gz

If you're on 32-bit CentOS 5, there's a minor build fix:
http://bogomips.org/cmogstored/files/pre/cmogstored-1.2.1.1-cce7.tar.gz
