Introduction

This document details the procedure for creating an eagle-i institutional node as a virtual server (or instance) in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (or EC2). Once created, the eagle-i node will operate entirely in the cloud. However, you will retain administrative responsibility over its operation and maintenance, and in particular, you will be responsible for running upgrade scripts when new eagle-i software is released. We do not expect these tasks to be complex, though basic Unix skills are desirable. This solution is ideal for institutions that want to evaluate eagle-i or participate in the eagle-i network but do not have easy access to a data center service. Naturally, the AWS service will incur operational costs (for pricing details, consult the AWS website).

The installation procedure is simple and does not require specialized technical skills. It will allow you to get an eagle-i node up and running in a short amount of time. For a production system, you may need to involve your IT department, in a limited way.

...

A new AMI will be available for subsequent releases, likely with a slight delay after the release.

...

First time installation

Getting ready

This procedure can be used to create an evaluation/development or a production eagle-i node:

...

...

...

1. Getting ready

1. Prerequisites

2.

As a pre-prerequisite, you will need to decide which type of installation you will need, evaluation/development or production eagle-i node.

Prerequisites

...

1. Status
   title evaluation/development node

   may use the amazon-generated public hostname

2. Status
   colour Blue title production node

    will need to have a DNS record once you obtain an IP address from EC2
   • Decide on a good host name. It will determine the namespace of your Linked Open Data, and it shouldn't be changed once data exists in production.
   • Examples of existing host names: harvard.eagle-i.net, eagle-i.ea.vanderbilt.edu

...

1. Status
   title evaluation/development node

    may use the self-signed certificate provided by the AMI

2. Status
   colour Blue title production node

    needs an X509 certificate in PEM format

...

1. Sign up for AWS
2. Sign up for the EC2 service; this will require that you provide credit card information.

...

• If you're using Linux, you know what this is about already
• In MacOSX you can simply use the Terminal application that is installed by default (look in your Applications folder, under Utilities)
• In Windows we recommend downloading and installing PuTTY (a remote login client that can handle SSH keys) or cygwin (a full Unix toolset)

...

 Installation Procedures

1. Allocate EC2 Resources
2. Create an eagle-i node

...

3. Customize eagle-i node

...

1. Allocate EC2 Resources

1.1 Select a US availability zone/geographic region

Amazon allocates EC2 resources (IP addresses, virtual hardware) in specific facilities that are meant to cover different geographic regions (also called availability zones). We support three zones: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon) and US West (N. California).

...

For more detailed information on creating and using a key pair with your EC2 instances, please see AWS Documentation: EC2 Key Pairs

1. Go to your EC2 Dashboard. 
2. In the left navigation bar, open the Network and Security section.
3. Select Key Pairs. 
4. Click on the Create Key Pair button. 
5. Enter a name for your key pair (e.g. eagle-i-key) and select create.
6. Your private key will be downloaded to your computer,  as a file with the name you specified and the .pem extension (you may be prompted by your browser to select a location). Store it in a dedicated directory to which you will come back later, e.g. /my-home/aws/keys

3. Create and configure additional system users

3.1 Create the additional system users

Additional system users are needed for several automated processes. The following users need to be created:

1. Global user. This is an automated agent responsible for keeping the cached copy of commonly used resources up to date with the Commonly Used Resources' repository. This agent caches only the minimal information needed for the SWEET application.
   
   • Role: Automated Agent
   • Corresponding properties: eaglei.datatools.globals.user & eaglei.datatools.globals.password
2. Anonymous user. This agent is responsible for retrieving published information for using the profiles integration and for the resource listings on the institution (node) home page.
   
   • Role:none
   • Corresponding properties: eaglei.anonymousExtended.user & eaglei.anonymousExtended.password

3.2 Add the additional system users to the properties file

In the SSH terminal:

1. Go to the eagle-i configuration directory
   • cd /opt/eaglei/conf/
2. Open the eagle-i-apps-credentials.properties file in the text editor of your choice.
3. Add the credentials for the two system user mentioned above to the file
4. Save your changes.

5. Update the local-node.xml file

The local-node.xml file provides information to the applications about the node. In the SSH terminal:

...

• cd /opt/eaglei/conf/

...

• vim local-node.xml

Follow the instructions in the comments to update the <node></node> section.  Specifically, update lines 14, 21, 24, 26, 29.

...

...

1. Node
2. Customize eagle-i Repository
3. Create system users
4. Customize public SPARQL endpoint
5. Update node configuration file

4. Verify installation

1. Verify the eagle-i node is up and running

...

• The landing page for your new eagle-i node should now be accessible from a browser, e.g.:
  https://eagle-i.miskatonic.edu
• You should be able to log in to the eagle-i repository admin console, using the repository credentials specified at stack creation time, e.g.:
  https://eagle-i.miskatonic.edu/repository/admin
  You may want to create users with different roles and in general poke around the different configuration options.
• You should have access to the SWEET, e.g.: 
  https://eagle-i.miskatonic.edu/sweet
• You should have access to the institutional search, e.g.:
  https://eagle-i.miskatonic.edu/institution

Log in with one of the users you created and verify you can access the SWEET workbench, create a test organization and publish it, verify it appears in search after being published, etc. You may want to compare your screens with our training node: https://training.eagle-i.net/sweet and https://training.eagle-i.net/institution

5. Production instance only

There are additional steps that need to happen in order to make your instance production ready. For more information about elastic IP address, please see the Amazon Documentation: Elastic IP Addresses.

...

1. Allocate an elastic IP address

...

...

...

1. Associate the elastic IP to your public hostname

...

1. Go to your EC2 Dashboard
2. In the left navigation bar, open the Network and Security section
3. Select Elastic IPs
4. Select the desired IP address from the list
5. Click on the Actions button and select Associate Address
6. Select the desired running instance for the Instance field
7. Click on the Associate button

Image RemovedImage Removed

...

...

• The administrator of your domain (usually someone in your IT department) will need to create a DNS record that maps to the public hostname you previously selected to the elastic IP address you just created.
• Make sure that your public hostname resolves to the elastic IP address created above. You can use an online service to check, for example: http://www.whatsmydns.net/

1. Install your SSL Certificate

The install procedure above initially configures eagle-i with a self-signed certificate; this is acceptable for an evaluation or developmentenvironment, but not for a production instance. In order to finalize the installation of a production instance, please follow the steps below.

3.1 Transfer certificate, certificate chain and private key to the EC2 instance

Obtain, from the person who purchased the certificate, the following files:

• The RSA key used at certificate purchase time and its password, e.g. key.pem
• The actual certificate returned by the certificate authority, e.g. cert.crt
• The certificate authority's (CA) certificate chain (depending on the particular CA, some of these may need to be downloaded - refer to their documentation), e.g. ca.crt

Assuming the files are located in a directory /my-home/aws/cert on your machine, here are two methods for securely transferring the files to your EC2 instance:

1. Using a terminal
   1. SSH to your EC2 instance and create a directory for the files to reside in, /opt/eaglei/install.

       

      Code Block
      language bash theme Emacs linenumbers true
      skc-macbook:~ sophia$ ssh -i "aws-eaglei-ami.pem" root@ec2-52-207-177-113.compute-1.amazonaws.com Last login: Wed Aug 10 13:19:32 2016 from 134.174.140.154 [root@ip-172-31-54-208 ~]# mkdir /opt/eaglei/install

   2. In another terminal window, go to the directory containing the certificate files

      • cd /my-home/aws/cert

   3. Do a SCP of the files to the newly created install folder on your EC2 instance (substitute your own file names and public hostname)

      •

3.2. Install certificate on EC2 instance

In the SSH terminal,

1. Go to the install directory created above
   • cd /opt/eaglei/install
2. Install the certificates
   • sh /bin/cert-install.sh -b ca.crt -c cert.crt -k key.pem
3. At the prompt, enter the key's password. Tomcat will restart when the cert-install.sh script is finished.

3.3 Verify certificate has been installed correctly

Using an online SSL validation service, such as http://www.geocerts.com/ssl_checker, enter your public hostname to verify that the certificate has been installed correctly
