| 85 | A hosted service resides on a shared server and allows |

| 89 | <para> |
| 90 | In a production environment, you might want to have multiple |
| 91 | local instances of the Toaster Logging Interface running on |
| 92 | various remote build machines, and have those local instances |
| 93 | access and use a single web server. |
| 94 | To do this, you need to do the following: |
| 95 | <itemizedlist> |
| 96 | <listitem><para> |
| 97 | Maintain a common SQL database. |
| 98 | </para></listitem> |
| 99 | <listitem><para> |

| 106 | |

| 110 | Setting the SQL database outside of any |
| 111 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink> |
| 112 | maintains a separation between the various builds. |
| 113 | The BitBake servers, the SQL server, and the Web server or |

| 138 | <listitem><para><emphasis>Install and Set up the Database Server:</emphasis> |
| 139 | You can use any SQL server out of the box. |
| 140 | It is recommended that you use |
| 141 | <filename>mysql-server</filename> because it has |
| 142 | the advantages of advanced SQL features along with a |
| 143 | fast and reliable database. |
| 144 | However, setting up <filename>mysql-server</filename> |
| 145 | is more complex and might require a Database |
| 146 | Administrator to tune it.</para> |
| 147 | <para>Another supported database backend is |
| 148 | <filename>sqlite3</filename>. |
| 149 | With <filename>sqlite3</filename>, you have the |
| 150 | advantage of no configuration and an easy installation. |
| 151 | However, Toaster still requires direct access to the |
| 152 | backend. |
| 153 | The <filename>sqlite</filename> backend is also slower |
| 154 | as compared to <filename>mysql-server</filename>, and |
| 155 | has no transactional support.</para> |
| 156 | <para>You should set up proper username and password |
| 157 | access on the shared database for everyone that will |
| 158 | be using Toaster. |
| 159 | You need administrator rights for the root account, |
| 160 | which is not the same thing as root access on the |
| 161 | machine. |
| 162 | Here is an example that installs |
| 163 | <filename>mysql-server</filename> and sets up |
| 164 | some user accounts and the database. |
| 165 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| 166 | $ apt-get install mysql-server |
| 167 | $ mysql -u root |
| 168 | mysql> CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; |
| 169 | mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'newuser'@'localhost'; |
| 170 | mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'newuser'@'localhost'; |
| 171 | mysql> CREATE DATABASE 'toaster'; |
| 172 | </literallayout> |
| 173 | You need a separate clone of the |
| 174 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-repositories'>Source Repositories</ulink> |
| 175 | for the Database Server. |
| 176 | This clone is only used for getting the latest Toaster |
| 177 | files. |
| 178 | You can set this up using the following Git command. |
| 179 | Be sure to set up the directory outside of any |
| 180 | Build Directories. |
| 181 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| 182 | $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky |
| 183 | </literallayout> |
| 184 | In the separately cloned tree for the Database Server, |
| 185 | edit the |
| 186 | <filename>bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/settings.py</filename> |
| 187 | file so that the <filename>DATABASES</filename> value |
| 188 | points to the previously created database server. |
| 189 | Use the username and password established |
| 190 | earlier. |
| 191 | Here is an example: |
| 192 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| 193 | $ cat /opt/bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/settings.py |
| 194 | ... |
| 195 | DATABASES = { |

| 197 | 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', |
| 198 | 'NAME': 'toaster', |
| 199 | 'USER': 'newuser', |
| 200 | 'PASSWORD': 'password', |

| 207 | <listitem><para><emphasis>Install and Set Up the Web Server:</emphasis> |
| 208 | For a production environment, it is recommended that |
| 209 | you install and set up a front-end web server. |
| 210 | This server allows for load balancing and |
| 211 | multi-threading over Toaster and |
| 212 | <ulink url='https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/howto/deployment/wsgi/'><filename>django</filename> WSGI</ulink>. |
| 213 | Here is an example that uses Apache web server. |
| 214 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| 215 | $ apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi |
| 216 | $ a2enmod wsgi |

| 576 | <listitem><para><emphasis>Install and Set up the Database Server:</emphasis> |
| 577 | You can use any SQL server out of the box. |
| 578 | It is recommended that you use |
| 579 | <filename>mysql-server</filename> because it has |
| 580 | the advantages of advanced SQL features along with a |
| 581 | fast and reliable database. |
| 582 | However, setting up <filename>mysql-server</filename> |
| 583 | is more complex and might require a Database |
| 584 | Administrator to tune it.</para> |
| 585 | <para>Another supported database backend is |
| 586 | <filename>sqlite3</filename>. |
| 587 | With <filename>sqlite3</filename>, you have the |
| 588 | advantage of no configuration and an easy installation. |
| 589 | However, Toaster still requires direct access to the |
| 590 | backend. |
| 591 | The <filename>sqlite</filename> backend is also slower |
| 592 | as compared to <filename>mysql-server</filename>, and |
| 593 | has no transactional support.</para> |
| 594 | <para>You should set up proper username and password |
| 595 | access on the shared database for everyone that will |
| 596 | be using Toaster. |
| 597 | You need administrator rights for the root account, |
| 598 | which is not the same thing as root access on the |
| 599 | machine. |
| 600 | Here is an example that installs |
| 601 | <filename>mysql-server</filename> and sets up |
| 602 | some user accounts and the database. |
| 603 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| 604 | $ apt-get install mysql-server |
| 605 | $ mysql -u root |
| 606 | mysql> CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; |
| 607 | mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'newuser'@'localhost'; |
| 608 | mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'newuser'@'localhost'; |
| 609 | mysql> CREATE DATABASE 'toaster'; |
| 610 | </literallayout> |
| 611 | You need a separate clone of the |
| 612 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-repositories'>Source Repositories</ulink> |
| 613 | for the Database Server. |
| 614 | This clone is only used for getting the latest Toaster |
| 615 | files. |
| 616 | You can set this up using the following Git command. |
| 617 | Be sure to set up the directory outside of any |
| 618 | Build Directories. |
| 619 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| 620 | $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky |
| 621 | </literallayout> |
| 622 | In the separately cloned tree for the Database Server, |
| 623 | edit the |
| 624 | <filename>bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/settings.py</filename> |
| 625 | file so that the <filename>DATABASES</filename> value |
| 626 | points to the previously created database server. |
| 627 | Use the username and password established |
