Generic Instructions for building a Web Application RPM
===Generic Instructions for building a Web Application RPM===

RPMS make installation more reliable and removal much easier.

This guide aims to create a common structure for building rpms

====Build environment====

=====Local Server=====
Create a build environment on your local server, refer to the SME DevGuide

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/gordonr/devguide/html/p1082.htm

=====SME Build Server=====
When you are comfortable building rpms, you are encouraged to put your source files on
the SME Build Server, this allows others to more easily update and improve your rpms.

http://wiki.contribs.org/ReleasingContribs#Submitting_a_contrib_to_the_SME_Server_repository

====The Application RPM====

=====Application source=====
Download the application source, eg foo.tar.gz and place in the SOURCES directory

=====SPEC file=====
Edit the following sample .spec file and place in the SPECS directory

%define name foo
%define version 3.6.431
%define release 1
Summary: foo is a helpdesk system
Name: %{name}
Version: %{version}
Release: %{release}%{?dist}
Distribution: SME Server
License: GNU GPL version 2
URL: http://www.fooweb.com
Group: SMEserver/addon
#wget http://www.fooweb.com/downloads/foo-3.6.431.tar.gz
Source: foo-3.6.431.tar.gz
Packager: Stephen Foo <support@foo.net>
BuildArchitectures: noarch
BuildRoot: /var/tmp/%{name}-%{version}
Requires: e-smith-release >= 7.0
AutoReqProv: no

#drop in an unchanged .tgz, if required rename directory here, eg remove version number.

=====Build the RPM=====
rpmbuild -ba /home/e-smith/files/users/jim/home/rpms/SPECS/foo.spec


=====Notes=====

Add workarounds and alternate methods here ...

Permissions, may need tweaking but usually not many need changing, you don't want the webserver changing the distribution files

====SME Intergration RPM====

=====Create database=====
* Create password

root/etc/e-smith/db/configuration/migrate/80foo

{
use MIME::Base64 qw(encode_base64);

my $rec = $DB->get('foo') || $DB->new_record('foo', {type => 'service'});

my $pw = $rec->prop('DbPassword');
return "" if $pw;

$rec->set_prop('DbPassword', sprintf("%15.0f", int( (1000000000000000) * rand() )));
}

* Create structure

root/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/e-smith/sql/init/80foo

{
my $db = $foo{DbName} || 'foo';
my $user = $foo{DbUser} || 'foo';
my $pass = $foo{DbPassword} || 'foo';
$OUT .= <<END
#! /bin/sh
if [ -d /var/lib/mysql/$db ]; then
exit
fi
/usr/bin/mysql <<EOF
CREATE DATABASE $db DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
use $db;
#Insert application specific command to create database structure
source /opt/foo/sql/mysql_foo.sql;
use mysql;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON $db.* TO $user\@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY '$pass';
flush privileges;
EOF
END
}

See the %build section of the spec file where you create the DB name & user.

The %post section of the spec file run the commands to initialise db values and create the db structure

=====Webserver templates=====

* The alias fragment tailored to suit the application

root/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/92foo

{
my $status = $foo{'status'} || "disabled";
return " # foo is disabled in this VirtualHost"
unless $status eq 'enabled';

$OUT = "";
my $allow = 'all';
my $pass = '0';
my $satisfy = 'all';
my $name = $foo{'Name'} || 'Application Description';

for ('exit-if-none')
{
if ($foo{'PublicAccess'})
{
if ($foo{'PublicAccess'} eq 'none')
{
next;
}
elsif ($foo{'PublicAccess'} eq 'local')
{
$allow = $localAccess;
$pass = 0;
$satisfy = 'all';
}
elsif ($foo{'PublicAccess'} eq 'local-pw')
{
$allow = $localAccess;
$pass = 1;
$satisfy = 'all';
}
elsif ($foo{'PublicAccess'} eq 'global')
{
$allow = 'all';
$pass = 0;
$satisfy = 'all';
}
elsif ($foo{'PublicAccess'} eq 'global-pw')
{
$allow = 'all';
$pass = 1;
$satisfy = 'all';
}
elsif ($foo{'PublicAccess'} eq 'global-pw-remote')
{
$allow = $localAccess;
$pass = 1;
$satisfy = 'any';
}
}

$OUT .= "#------------------------------------------------------------\n";
$OUT .= "# foo - $name\n";
$OUT .= "#------------------------------------------------------------\n";

{
if (exists $foo{'URL'})
{ $OUT .= "Alias /$foo{'URL'} /opt/foo\n"; }
}

$OUT .= "Alias /foo /opt/foo\n";

$OUT .= "\n";
$OUT .= "<Directory /opt/foo>\n";
$OUT .= " AddType application/x-httpd-php .php\n";
$OUT .= " php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/foo\n";
$OUT .= " Options None\n";
$OUT .= " order deny,allow\n";
$OUT .= " deny from all\n";
$OUT .= " allow from $allow\n";
$OUT .= " php_value mysql.default_host $foo{DbName}\n";
$OUT .= " php_value mysql.default_user $foo{DbUser}\n";
$OUT .= " php_value mysql.default_password $foo{DbPassword}\n";
if ($pass)
{
$OUT .= " AuthName \"$name\"\n";
$OUT .= " AuthType Basic\n";
$OUT .= " AuthExternal pwauth\n";
$OUT .= " require valid-user\n";
$OUT .= " Satisfy $satisfy\n";
}
$OUT .= "</Directory>\n";
}
}

* a workaround to enable the application to be located in a domain or subdomain root

root/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/80OptDomainFoo

{
my $status = $foo{'status'} || "disabled";
return " # foo-status is disabled.\n"
unless $status eq 'enabled';

my $domain = $foo{'domain'} || "disabled";
return " # no hostname or domain for foo defined\n"
if $domain eq 'disabled';

my $DocRoot = "/opt/foo";

$OUT = "";
$OUT .= "\n";
$OUT .= "# Redirect an existing hostname or domain to $DocRoot.\n";
$OUT .= "<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>\n";
$OUT .= " ServerName $domain\n";
$OUT .= " DocumentRoot $DocRoot\n";
$OUT .= "</VirtualHost>\n";
$OUT .= "<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:443>\n";
$OUT .= " ServerName $domain\n";
$OUT .= " DocumentRoot $DocRoot\n";
$OUT .= " SSLEngine on\n";
$OUT .= "</VirtualHost>\n";
}

* a hack to get https to work, a better solution is required

root/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/VirtualHosts/30FooAlias

{
my $status = $foo{'status'} || "disabled";
return " # foo is disabled in this VirtualHost"
unless $status eq 'enabled';

if ($port eq "443")
{
$OUT .= " ProxyPass /foo http://127.0.0.1/foo\n";
}
}

=====System file templates=====

You may need to create a fragment for a system file such as crontab.

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/gordonr/devguide/html/c610.htm

=====Application templates=====

Place a copy of the application config file in the templates directory, <br>
then overwrite key values, some of which we keep in SME DB's


eg . root\etc\template\opt\foo\config.php

template-begin

{
$OUT = <<HERE;
<?php
/*
HERE

$OUT .=
Text::Template::_load_text("/etc/e-smith/templates-default/template-begin");

$OUT .= <<HERE;
*/
HERE

}

template-end

?>

10config-dist

include a copy of the distribution file here

20config-sme

// SME Server Settings
{
$OUT .= "\$CFG->dbname = \'$foo{DbName}\'\; \n";
$OUT .= "\$CFG->dbuser = \'$foo{DbUser}\'\; \n";
$OUT .= "\$CFG->dbpass = \'$foo{DbPassword}\'\; \n";
$OUT .= "\$CFG->dirroot = \'/opt/foo'\; \n";
}
