Ansible Issue - [Errno 2] No such file or directory - database

I've been holding off posting here because I feel like this issue could be too vague. I will try my best to explain. I have been through all of the existing questions but they don't seem relevant to what I am doing.
Basically, I have inherited 3 Ec2 Instances that are Dev / Staging / Live web applications in my new role. I use Ansible playbooks to migrate the Database between all environments. We recently had a new website that was deployed onto all three existing instances.
The Dev box recently died so I blew it away and launched a new one, the website looks fine, however exporting and importing the Database no longer works (on the new instance)
Below is the Ansible output:
TASK: [Export database to migrate] ********************************************
failed: [172.**.**.***] => {"changed": true, "cmd": "wp db export dbv2.sql --tables=t*******0_links,t*******0_options,t*******0_postmeta,t*******0_posts,taxlt4ws0_rg_form,taxlt4ws0_rg_form_meta,taxlt4ws0_rg_form_view,t*******0_term_relationships,t*******0_term_taxonomy,t*******0_termmeta,t*******0_terms,t*******0_usermeta,t*******0_users", "delta": "0:00:00.001594", "end": "2017-09-01 10:21:25.225355", "rc": 127, "start": "2017-09-01 10:21:25.223761", "warnings": []}
stderr: /bin/sh: 1: wp: not found
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
Things I've checked:
Chmod on the folders it import/exports in/from.
IAM Role is set
Used Shell instead of Command in the Playbook
Configs for each environment
I'm really stumped my Ansible knowledge is quite limited as I only picked it up a couple months ago and hadn't run into any issues (even with a new Website) until the Dev box had to be replaced.

I think ansible is referring to wpcli. It is not able to find its executable.
If this is the case,you need to install it with another task before that one.

Basically what this is complaining about is that whatever script you are using in module Export DB is not able to find a wp script or executable.
stderr: /bin/sh: 1: wp: not found
Would recommend checking which wp or maybe do a find to see if it is on the staging or live instances to see what it is and install/copy it over to the Dev instances.
You can test this hypothesis by using a small test script:
#!/bin/sh
wp
create this script say test.sh, give it executable permissions and run it on all the env's to see where it fails.

How to deploy SQL Server Express on Docker Desktop Kubernetes

I've been studying "Kubernetes Up and Running" by Hightower et al (first edition) Chapter 13 where they discussed creating a Reliable MySQL Singleton (Since I just discovered that there is a second edition, I guess I'll be buying it soon).
Using their MySQL reliable singleton example as a model, I've been looking for some sample YAML files to make a similar deployment with Microsoft SQL Server (Express) on Docker Desktop for Kubernetes.
Apparently I need YAML files to deploy
Persistent Volume
Volume claim (should this be NFS?)
SQL Server (Express edition) replica set (in spite of the fact that this is just a singleton).
I've tried this example but I'm confused because it does not contain a persistent volume & claim and it does not work. I get the error
Error: unable to recognize "sqlserver.yml": no matches for kind "Deployment" in version "apps/v1beta1"
Can someone please point me to some sample YAML files that are not Azure specific that will work on Docker Desktop Kubernetes for Windows 10? After debugging my application, I'll want to deploy this to Azure (AKS).
Wed Jul 15 2020 Update
I left out the "-n namespace" for the helm install command (possibly because I'm using Helm and you are using helm v2?).
That install command still did not work. Then I did a
helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com/
Now this command works:
helm install todo-app-database stable/mssql-linux
Progress!
When I do a "k get pods" I see that my todo-app-mssql-linux database is in the pending state. So I did a
kubectl get events
and I see
Warning FailedScheduling pod/todo-app-database-mssql-linux-8668d9b88c-lsh5l 0/1 nodes are available: 1 Insufficient memory.
I've been google searching for "Kubernetes insufficient memory" and can find no match.
I suspect this is a problem specific to "Docker Desktop Kubernetes".
When I look at the output for
helm -n ns-todolistdemo template todo-app-database stable/mssql-linux
I see the deployment is asking for 2Gi. (Interesting: when I use the template command, the "-n ns-todolistdemo" does not cause an error like it does with the install command).
So I do
kubectl describe deployment todo-app-database-mssql-linux >todo-app-database-mssql-linux.yaml
I edit the yaml file to change 2Gi to 1Gi.
kubectl apply -f todo-app-database-mssql-linux.yaml
I get this error:
error: error parsing todo-app-database-mssql-linux.yaml: error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 9: mapping values are not allowed in this context
Hmm... that did not work. I try delete:
kubectl delete deployment todo-app-database-mssql-linux
kubectl create -f todo-app-database-mssql-linux.yaml
I get this error:
error: error validating "todo-app-database-mssql-linux.yaml": error validating data: invalid object to validate; if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with --validate=false
So I try apply:
kubectl apply -f todo-app-database-mssql-linux.yaml
Same error!
Shucks.... Is there a way to adjust the memory allocation for Docker Desktop?
Thank you
Siegfried
Short answer
https://github.com/helm/charts/blob/master/stable/mssql-linux/templates/pvc-master.yaml
Detailed Answer
Docker For Desktop comes already with a default StorageClass :
This storage class is responsible for auto-provisioning of PV whenever you create a PVC.
If you have a YAML definition of PVC (persistent volume claim), you just need to keep storageClass empty, so it will use the default.
k get storageclass
NAME PROVISIONER AGE
hostpath (default) docker.io/hostpath 11d
This is fair enough as Docker-For-Desktop Cluster is a one node cluster. So if your DB crashes and the cluster opens it again , it will not move to another node, because simply, you have a single node :)
Now should write the YAML of PVC from scratch ?
No , you don't need. Because Helm should be your best friend.
( I explained below Why you have to use Helm even without deep learning curve)
Fortunately, the community provides a chart called stable/mssql-linux..
Let's run it together :
helm -n <your-namespace> install todo-app-database stable/mssql-linux
# helm -n <namespace> install <release-name> <chart-name-from-community>
If you want to check the YAML (namely PVC) that Helm computed, you can run template instead of install
helm -n <your-namespace> template todo-app-database stable/mssql-linux
Why I give you the answer with Helm ?
Writing YAML from scratch lets reinventing the wheel while others do it.
The most efficient way is to reuse what community prepare for you.
However, you may ask: How can i reuse what others doing ?
That's why Helm comes.
Helm comes to be your installer of any application on top of kubernetes regardless how much YAML does your app require.
Install it now and hit the ground choco install kubernetes-helm

Deploying Haskell yesod docker container on google app engine

I am trying to upload a yesod Docker container on Google App Engine. The source code is here and the Docker image is here.
I followed the documentation in the Custom runtime quickstart, and when invoking gcloud app deploy the app builds fine after increasing the build timeout, but the container either the readiness check when trying to start or shows the following timeout message:
ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Operation [apps/meeshkan-github-webhook-router/operations/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx] timed out. This operation may still be underway.
I have tried experimenting with several things, including a manual readiness check, creating an /_ah/health endpoint, and increasing the timeout of the readiness check all the way to 1799 seconds, but none of these actions seem to work.
One issue may be the size of the container (it is 3.2gb), and I could try to prune it down, but I'd only do that if someone could confirm that container size is a contributing factor to deployment problems. Other than that, I'm not sure what could be causing this failure. The docker image starts fine on our local machines.
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!
The issue turned out to be that, because I was building on Windows, images built using Docker Desktop on Windows gave all shell scripts executable permission automatically, whereas Docker on Linux needs shell scripts to be given the executable permission. By adding this line to my Dockerfile:
RUN chmod +x /usr/src/app/run.sh
Everything worked fine!

KNIME Command Line Execution - ClassNotFoundException

I'd like to schedule a KNIME workflow. The workflow does its job very good as long as I start it from the KNIME GUI application. When I execute the same workflow via command line, java complains that com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
could not be found (ClassNotFoundException).
I invoke it via:
"D:\Progamme\KNIME\knime.exe" -nosplash -application -consoleLog org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -preferences="absolutepathto\preferences.epf" -workflowDir="absolutepathto\workflow"
Since the error message signals missing content in the java CLASSPATH I also tried to add the parameters
-vmargs -classpath .;"absolutepathto/sqljdbc42.jar"
But still I earn a java slap, pointing to the same error...
I also tried to run the command from within the knime.exe's directory and I also tried to add the JAR file to Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variable / User Libraries (referenced via the -preference argument). But that had no effect.
Did anybody face the same problems? Maybe with other third party JARs?
It is all about a Database connector that is configured like this:
Does the integrated security maybe force a misleading error?
System spec: KNIME 3.2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2
Update - extract from preferences file
/configuration/org.eclipse.core.net/org.eclipse.core.net.hasMigrated=true
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/MAX_RECENT_WORKSPACES=10
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/RECENT_WORKSPACES=<list of some workspaces>
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/RECENT_WORKSPACES_PROTOCOL=3
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/SHOW_RECENT_WORKSPACES=false
/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide/SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=true
Is there maybe a problem due to the fact that it is a shared KNIME instance among several users and the command line execution does not know which workspace has to be chosen? Is the workspace somehow needed and why?
Partial Solution:
I finally managed it but I don't know exactly why it works now. What I did was to load a fresh portable version of KNIME and ran the same commands only changing the executable path to the new portable version. Before that I started the portable version once to set the workspace directory and register the database driver in preferences dialog and .ini file, nothing else, same configuration so far as the shared KNIME instance. What I am really wondering abpout is that from now on the commands are also working with the shared KNIME instance. I really don't know what caused the change that let KNIME find the driver class.
Info
Because I encountered a few more problems within shared environment in KNIME command line mode, that led to undeterministic execution results, I wrote a little .NET library. This gives me more flexibility/control over the workflow execution (which returncodes and error messages occured and so on). You can find it here if you're interested: KnimeNet
I took a very minimal approach:
cd "C:\Program Files\KNIME"
.\knime -nosplash -noexit -consoleLog -reset -application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -workflowFile="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.knwf" -preferences="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.epf"

SOLR on Elastic Beanstalk

I would like to run a SOLR Server on an Elastic Beanstalk. But I cannot find that much about that in the web.
It must be possible somehow, 'cause some are using it already. (https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=91276 i.e.)
Any Ideas how I could do that?
Well, somehow I can upload the solr warfile into the environment, but then it gets complicated.
Where do I put the config files and the index directory, so that each instance can reach it?
EDIT: Please keep in mind that this answer is from 2013. The products mentioned here have likely evolved. I have updated the documentation link to reflect changes in the solr clustering wiki. I encourage you to continue your research after reading this information.
ORIGINAL:
It only really makes sense to run solr on beanstalk instances if you are planning to only ever use the single server deploy. The minute that you want to scale your app you will need to configure your beanstalk environment to either create a solr cluster or move to something like CloudSearch. If you are unfamiliar with ec2 lifecycles and solr deployments then CloudSearch will almost certainly save you time (read money).
If you do want to run solr on a single instance then you can use rake to launch it by adding a file to your local repo named .ebextensions/solr.config with the following contents:
container_commands:
01create_post_dir:
command: "mkdir -p /opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post"
ignoreErrors: true
02killjava:
command: "killall java"
test: "ps uax | grep java | grep root"
ignoreErrors: true
files:
"/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/99_start_solr.sh":
mode: "755"
owner: "root"
group: "root"
content: |
#!/usr/bin/env bash
. /opt/elasticbeanstalk/support/envvars
cd $EB_CONFIG_APP_CURRENT
su -c "RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:start" $EB_CONFIG_APP_USER
su -c "RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:seed" $EB_CONFIG_APP_USER
su -c "RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake sunspot:reindex" $EB_CONFIG_APP_USER
Please keep in mind that this will cause chaos if you are using autoscaling.

Google App Engine appcfg.py shows the help message for every command

I have GWT app, which is deployed on GAE (Java). I'm trying to download data from App Engine datastore using appcfg.py . I did all the setup according to http://ikaisays.com/2010/06/10/using-the-bulkloader-with-java-app-engine/ .
GAE Python SDK version is 1.4.3
Python version is 2.5.4
appcfg.py is on my PATH. When I run appcfg.py on the command-line, I get the "help" message. But the problem is that no matter which command I use, it always returns the help message. I have not been able to run any command using appcfg.py.
It doesn't give any specific error message no matter what arguments I give. My app is using Google Accounts authentication, but I don't think it even gets to the point of authentication.
I'm able to use the Java appcfg (for other actions like rollback) without any problem. But the Python version simply refuses to work for all commands.
I've tried different formats like:
appcfg.py create_bulkloader_config --url=http://myappid.appspot.com/remote_api --application=myappid --filename=config.yml
appcfg.py create_bulkloader_config --filename=bulkloader.yaml --url=http://myappid.appspot.com/remote_api
appcfg.py --filename=bulkloader.yaml --url=http://myappid.appspot.com/remote_api create_bulkloader_config
All give me the same help message:
Usage: appcfg.py [options]
Action must be one of:
create_bulkloader_config: Create a bulkloader.yaml from a running application.
cron_info: Display information about cron jobs.
download_app: Download a previously-uploaded app.
download_data: Download entities from datastore.
help: Print help for a specific action.
request_logs: Write request logs in Apache common log format.
rollback: Rollback an in-progress update.
set_default_version: Set the default (serving) version.
update: Create or update an app version.
update_cron: Update application cron definitions.
update_dos: Update application dos definitions.
update_indexes: Update application indexes.
update_queues: Update application task queue definitions.
upload_data: Upload data records to datastore.
vacuum_indexes: Delete unused indexes from application.
Use 'help <action>' for a detailed description.
Options:
-h, --help Show the help message and exit.
-q, --quiet Print errors only.
-v, --verbose Print info level logs.
--noisy Print all logs.
-s SERVER, --server=SERVER
...
...
...
Even when I try "appcfg.py help create_bulkloader_config" for a detailed description, it still shows me the same standard help.
I have also tried on the local development server using the url http://127.0.0.1:8888/remote_api but it still gives the same help message.
I'm totally clueless as to what the problem is. I'm new to GWT and GAE, and any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
The following fix worked for me. It looks like appcfg.py doesn't like PYTHON27 and ALWAYS returns the help menu. I fixed it by executing it with PYTHON25 and hard coded all my file locations:
C:\Python25-archive\python "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py" rollback C:\scripts\myapp
The right way is to change the environment variables on Windows 7:
Go to System Properties
Go to Advance System Settings
Click on Environment Variables
Append to Path variable the values C:\Python27\
Click Ok and restart your computer. (Yes, it is needed.)
Another way is to:
Open command Prompt
Locate your python.exe file. For example:
C:\Python27>_
Then, run a python command that looks like this.
python <appcfg_directory> download_app -A <your_app_id> -V <your_app_version> <output-dir>
Where <appcfg_directory> is equal to C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py. (Depending on your file location)
Don't forget to put quotes before and after <appcfg_directory>
