Deployment is supported as either Docker containers or as a VM based deployment (currently only Ubuntu 18/20 is supported) for most components with some exceptions as per the following list:

For VM based deployment only Ubuntu 18/20 is currently supported.

Docker deployment

Docker images are provided for all components (except Pwd Synchronizer) and this is the preferred deployment model.

...

The following commands might be useful for operations:

# Start: 
docker-compose up -d

# Stop: 
docker-compose down

# Display Status: 
docker-compose ps

# Show logs of individual container: 
docker logs {container-name}

# Restart individual container: 
docker restart {container-name}

...

didmos Core consists of two Docker containers:

...

...

...

...

The logs of each component can be accessed via docker logs (see list of general commands)..

docker logs {container-name}

Configuration is possible via docker environment variables (for supported parameters). An example for this configuration is described in section Provisioner - Docker.

VM based

LDAP Metadirectory

The LDAP Metadirectory is installed via the Ubuntu distribution during the initial Ansible setup (i.e. apt install slapd).

...

It can be administered using the following commands:

systemctl {start|stop|restart|status} slapd

slapd logs using rsyslog. The logging is configured in the file rsyslog.conf. The most recent logged messages can be read using this command:

journalctl -r -t openldap

The configuration of the log level for slapd uses the attribute olcLogLevel in the cn=config subtree in the LDAP Metadirectory. The value can be changed using a LDAP client (e. g. Apache Directory Studio) using cn=config as Base-DN.

These log levels are supported:

Image Added

Numeric values and keywords for log levels are equivalent.

More information about logging and debugging OpenLDAP can be found in the documentation:

• https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconfig.html
• https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/tuning.html#Logging

didmos Core API Server

...

The didmos Core API server is installed as a python virtual environment and deployed as a mod_wsgi app in Apache webserver. The following locations on the VM are used:

Component	Location in file system
Python Virtual environment

...

	/opt/didmos2coreEnv
Python application

...

	/opt/didmos2core
Configuration (Templates and default config)

...

/opt/didmos2core/general

...

/opt/didmos2core/customer/customer_config

Configuration (Overrides)

...

	/etc/didmos/core
Logs

...

	/var/log/didmos
Apache config (mod_wsgi integration)

...

	/etc/apache2/sites-available/api-ssl.conf
Apache logs

...

/var/log/apache2

Restarting the didmos Core API server is possible via the Apache webserver:

Codeblock
systemctl

...

{start|stop|restart|status} apache2

Backups of LDAP database

The core data of a didmos system is stored in the LDAP server and therefore backups of the entire LDAP server should be done regularly.

...

• {project-name}-frontend

In that this container, the compiled frontend (Angular JavaScript app with assets like images, CSS-files etc.) is shipped using an nginx webserver. 

...

Configuration is possible via docker environment variables (for supported parameters). An example for this configuration is described in section Provisioner - Docker.

VM based

The compiled frontend  (Angular JavaScript app with assets like images, CSS-files etc.) is located in /var/www/didmos2lui and then shipped as static files using an Apache webserver. The following locations on the VM are used:

...

...

...

...

Generally In general, changes to the functionality always require recompiling the static files from source and then redeploying the compiled application on the VM.

...

didmos Auth consists of the following Docker container:

In the -auth container Auth is running as a mod_wsgi application inside an Apache webserver.

The -mongo container is running a Mongodb MongoDB for storage of the OIDC OP (i.e. registered clients, tokens).

...

Configuration is possible via docker environment variables (for supported parameters). For a list of general environment variables refer to didmos2 Authenticator. An example for this configuration is described in section Provisioner - Docker.

VM based

didmos Auth is installed as a python virtual environment and deployed as a mod_wsgi app in Apache webserver. The following locations of the VM are used:

...

...

...

...

...

Restarting didmos Auth is possible via the Apache webserver: 

systemctl

...

 {start|stop|restart|status} apache2

The application is based on Satosa and most of the configuration in /etc/satosa follows the default Satosa configuration (see https://github.com/IdentityPython/SATOSA).

MongoDB is installed via the Ubuntu distribution during the initial Ansible setup (i.e. apt install mongodb).

...

The administration of MongoDB can be done using these commands:

systemctl {start|stop|restart|status} 

...

mongodb

Backups of MongoDB database

...

didmos Provisioner consists of the following Docker containers:

...

...

...

...

...

...

The logs can be accessed via docker logs (see list of general commands).

The composition of the container and basic configuration is done in the file docker-compose.yml.

ra:
    image: ${CUSTOMER_RA_IMAGE}:${CUSTOMER_RA_TAG}
    container_name: ${CUSTOMER}-ra
    depends_on:
      - rabbitmq
    volumes:
      - didmos2-ra-config:/opt/daasi/didmos2/ra/config/
    environment:
      LDAP_URL: ${LDAP_URL}
      RA_LDAP_ACCOUNT_PW: ${RA_LDAP_ACCOUNT_PW}
      RA_SENDER_EMAIL: ${RA_SENDER_EMAIL}
      RA_DEFAULT_RECEIVER_EMAIL: ${RA_DEFAULT_RECEIVER_EMAIL}
      INIT_PARAM: -i 2
      RABBITMQ_URL: ${RABBITMQ_URL}
      RABBITMQ_USER: ${RABBITMQ_USER}
      RABBITMQ_PW: ${RABBITMQ_PW}
      LDAP_ACCESSLOG_PW: ${LDAP_ACCESSLOG_PW}
      LDAP_MANAGER_PW: ${LDAP_MANAGER_PW}
      SMTP_HOST: ${SMTP_HOST}
      SMTP_USER: ${SMTP_USER}
      SMTP_PASSWORD: ${SMTP_PASSWORD}
      SMTP_PORT: ${SMTP_PORT}
    extra_hosts:
     - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"


Additional configuration Configuration is possible via docker environment variables (for supported parameters). These variables are referenced in the docker-compose.yml and set in the .env file:

...
LDAP_ACCESSLOG_PW=...
LDAP_MANAGER_PW=...
LDAP_URL=ldap://host.docker.internal:389
LDAP_BIND_DN="cn=manager,dc=didmos,dc=de"

RA_LDAP_ACCOUNT_PW=...
RA_SENDER_EMAIL=noreply@daasi.de
RA_DEFAULT_RECEIVER_EMAIL=noreply@example.com

RABBITMQ_URL=rabbitmq
RABBITMQ_USER=admin
RABBITMQ_PW=...
RABBITMQ_PORT=5672
...

.  For a list of general environment variables refer to didmos2 Provisioner.

After changing one or more values in the .env file a recompose has to be performed by using this command:

docker-compose up -d 

A simple restart of the affected containers does not suffice.

The basic principle of docker-compose and docker environment variables applies to all docker deployments for didmos 2.

ETL

Docker

didmos ETL consists of the following Docker container:

...

Configuration is possible via docker environment variables (for supported parameters) but generally via files in the volume. An example for the configuration using docker environment variables is described in section Provisioner - Docker.
