v0.1 patch builds successfully but needs rc.d script and BSD-friendly file locations

As 2.0.0 adds clustering support and is not a drop-in replacement it seems
very appropriate to add it as a new port for the time being, and on the next
lang/erlang update (which will require patching 1.6.x) we could consider
providing an UPDATING note with migration details.
Comment 1 Reshad Patuck 2017-04-24 14:04:04 UTC
I've been working on something similar, let me know if you need any help testing or with the rc.d script.

v0.2 patch builds, rc.d start/stop, still needs refinement

Hey,

Went through your port and merged it whit what I had.

The port seems to work now, but still needs some polish:

1. rc script to start and stop works, but is a hack.
The couchdb command(shell script) daemonises  without giving us a pid.
Alos logging (pipe stdout and stderr to file) is a hack.

2. Configs used are in /usr/local/lib/couchdb/etc.
Need to find a way to have couchdb take configuration files in /usr/local/etc/couchdb

3. pkg plist/files installed need to be trimmed down

Possibly re-writing the script to start couchdb which takes some parameters such as config files, log location, etc would be the way to go.

v0.3 patch builds small refinement to rc.d stop start logic needed

v0.4 Fix permissions issue, Fauxton self test passes, more refined rc.d script

This patch fixes some permissions issue with the previous version.

The rc.d script is also cleaner and should handle better.

Fauxton self test for DB passes.

TODO:
- Stop should stop all processes running as couchdb (currently, it only kills the beam process, which is usually good enough, but sometimes it does not die)
- Cleanup make file a bit.
- Generate pidfile (nice to have).

v0.5 Fix rc.d script, cleanup Makefile, set permissions for /var

New patch updates the old one with these changes:
- Cleanup echos and testing comments in Makefile.
- rc.conf erl_flags configurable as an rc_var
- rc.d start daemon now uses -f to pipe unwanted output to /dev/null
- fix bug in rc.d stop (status_quiet)
- fix make package warning about etc/rc.d/couchdb declared twice
- set permissions to 740 for /var/{log,db,run}/couchdb

Issues 
- pidfile still not generated
Comment 7 Reshad Patuck 2017-05-09 18:04:36 UTC
The pidfile works with the current revision (v0.5)

@Dave, let me know if there is any other change you would like to make.

I have this running in a testing environment at the moment and its working fine so far.

I think this is ready to be committed to the tree.

Hi, 
I'm trying to install your port (version v8) but `make install` fails; do you have any idea on how to fix this?

My test environment is a fresh FreeBSD 11 installation running on a virtual machine.

Thanks

Comment 13 Reshad Patuck 2017-06-06 20:11:51 UTC
(In reply to sgironella from comment #11)

Hi,

Sorry v8 had an error in the pkg-plist file.

This is fixed in v9.

v9 also takes into account an updated version of erlang committed 2 days back, it may not be in packages yet.

Let me know how it goes, I have only tested with 12-CURRENT and limited testing on 10.3-RELEASE.

v0.1 patch builds successfully but needs rc.d script and BSD-friendly file locations

Obsoleted by Reshads patch (Discussed via IRC)
Comment 16 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-07-11 07:44:24 UTC
Bug 212846 is not blocked by this, it in fact is a proposed change that would deprecate/supersede this issue.

Opinions aside, one of these issues needs to be closed in favour of the other, depending on whether the existing port will cross a major boundary from 1.x -> 2.x, or a new port (databases/couchdb2) is created.

With that in mind, this is existing maintainer related (request feedback accordingly)
Comment 17 Dave Cottlehuber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-07-11 10:11:59 UTC
@rap aside from the OTP 20.0 vs OTP 19.x clashes discussed on IRC there are a few changes needed for pkg-plist yet:

- /usr/local/lib/* should be read only in general and root:wheel (default) groups
- 0755 for dirs, 0644 for files (defaults)
- sensitive files should be couchdb:couchdb 0600 or root:couchdb 0660 (local.ini, vm.args, sys.config)
- default.ini should be 0644 root:wheel as its part of the distribution
- directories should be root:wheel 0755 apart from /var/*/couchdb which should be  root:couchdb 0770 to prevent information disclosure
- .o, .a .c intermediate files should be removed
- the port should install to /usr/local/lib/couchdb2 so that people who wish to migrate from v1.x to v2.x can have them concurrently installed, at least via `pkg install -f couchdb couchdb2`
- this would mean you can use prefixes instead of custom locations in the pkg-plist:

DATADIR=/usr/local/share/couchdb2
DOCSDIR=/usr/local/share/doc/couchdb2
EXAMPLESDIR=/usr/local/share/examples/couchdb2
WWWDIR=/usr/local/www/couchdb2
ETCDIR=/usr/local/etc/couchdb2

using https://pkg.skunkwerks.at/poudriere/build.html?mastername=11_amd64-default&build=2017-07-11_09h40m41s as reference for errors, which is your latest patch + an updated erts version spliced in.

v10 Multiple updates to plist, rc.d script and Makefile

Hi,

I have updated the port with the following changes:
- Changed dependency on 'erlang' to 'erlang-runtime19'.
- Change 'couchdb' to 'couchdb2' allowing for both the version 1 port and version 2 port to coexist if needed.
- Cleanup source/staging (*.a, *.c and *.o) files.
- Use wait_for_pids in the couchdb2 rc stop script to wait till the couchdb pid is dead.
- Change permissions of the default config files to couchdb:couchdb 0660.
- Bumped erts version to 8.3.5.1.
- Changed perms in DATADIR (www) from 0755 to 0744.
- Changed perms of var dirs to couchdb:couchdb 0770.

@dch
I have NOT changed the perms in /usr/local/lib/*.
Most of the files are already root:wheel 0644.
The last time I tried changing the perms (some months back) in this dir couch refused to start.
That is why I am using a 'cp' to copy them over.

Do let me know if there are any other changes you would like.

Best,

Reshad

v11 go back to erlang insted of erlang-runtime19

Changed dependency from 'erlang-runtime19' back to 'erlang'.

erlang-runtime19 installs to its own directory which needs to be in path.

@Dave, if you have a way to point couchdb to a particular path for erlang then we can use erlang-runtime19.
I don't see any ./configure options to do this.

* Uses ssl is being used. In order to link ssl to the correct branch the variables OPENSSLBASE, OPENSSLDIR, OPENSSLLIB, OPENSSLINC, OPENSSLRPATH maybe needed. Please check how the port is linking to ssl and adapt to respect the variables required.

* The rc script has many hardcoded paths this should be changed, for example %%PREFIX%% for /usr/local. Also, consider adding more configuration variables for default.ini/local.ini.

* Why are executables/docs/includes/misc? being installed in %%PREFIX%%/lib/couchdb2? This should probably be changed to the appropriate directories. If for whatever reason the software can't run in a different hierarchy, which I doubt, it should probably have its home directory somewhere like /usr/local/couchdb2.

Sorry for the late update, Ive been unavailable for the last month or so.

As per @Richard's recommendations I have:
- Moved files from %%PREFIX%%/lib/couchdb2 to %%PREFIX%%/couchdb2.
- Removed hardcoded paths in the rc script in favour of templates

@Richard
I have tried to seperate the couchdb files out so that it runs from the appropriate directories, but have not gotten it to run.
Further when speaking with the couchdb devs about this they recommend it stays altogether.

I am not sure how this port is linking to ssl. Any help here would be appreciated

Comment 31 Mathieu Arnold freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-06-14 15:38:59 UTC
This needs a bit more cleanup, which can be done by the committer taking it on.

Many bits are in the wrong order, See Chapter 15. Order of Variables in Port Makefiles, https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-order.html from the porter's handbook.

In BUILD_DEPENDS the ${LOCALBASE}/bin/ should be removed.

PLIST should not be changed from its default, and all the `find >> ${PLIST}` should be changed to `find >> ${TMPPLIST}`.

bsd.port.options.mk should not be included, all the following .if should use options helpers instead. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-options.html

pre-install and do-install should be merged.  Files MUST NOT be installed with MV or CP, they MUST be installed with one of the INSTALL_* macro or using the COPYTREE_* macros. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/install.html

The man page MUST always be installed, and not be dependant on a DOCS option.
Comment 32 Mathieu Arnold freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-06-14 15:40:31 UTC
Oh, and in pkg-plist, `@dir %%ETCDIR%%` should be removed. (Or better, the plist should be generated using make makeplist, and not be made dynamic.)

Is there a good reason to support both erlang runtimes ? This causes issues with the pkg-plist. It would be much easier if we stay with erlang-runtime20, only.

Tested most options. erlang19 is still broken because the pkg-plist is wrong if 19 is selected.

Comment 40 Dave Cottlehuber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-06-14 21:21:07 UTC
some comments; super delighted to see this moving again & LGTM.

- there is no direct "copy the files" migration from couchdb 1.x -> 2.x so ideally you'd be able to run both versions side by side. It looks like this is sorted - nice!

- I see no reason at all to build against OTP 20 as it's not supported upstream, and the build produces some very reasonable errors in the multipart mime parser,  and http session handling:

/tmp/usr/ports/databases/couchdb2/work/apache-couchdb-2.1.1/src/mochiweb/src/mochiweb_multipart.erl:41: Warning: call to crypto:rand_bytes/1 will fail, since it was removed in 20.0; use crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1
/tmp/usr/ports/databases/couchdb2/work/apache-couchdb-2.1.1/src/mochiweb/src/mochiweb_session.erl:125: Warning: call to crypto:rand_bytes/1 will fail, since it was removed in 20.0; use crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1
/tmp/usr/ports/databases/couchdb2/work/apache-couchdb-2.1.1/src/couch_epi/src/couch_epi_codegen.erl:78: Warning: erl_scan:token_info/2: removed in 19.0; use erl_scan:{category,column,line,location,symbol,text}/1 instead

- fauxton doesn't need to be a build time option, it's only required if you intend to download and build the nodejs UI from scratch, and this is already provided by couchdb release tarball. Any production couch instance should have fauxton ui available.

- curl is not a production requirement, only to run the javascript test suite. the couchjs binary should not have this included in production as it might allow a js function to use it to escape its sandbox

The daemon doesn't start for me, looks like too aggressive pruning of executable permissions. This should fix it:

chmod +x /usr/local/libexec/couchdb2/erts-*/bin/* \
  /usr/local/libexec/couchdb2/lib/*/priv/bin/* \
  /usr/local/libexec/couchdb2/bin/* 

But there are a few others inside ERTS as well I may have missed.

(In reply to Dave Cottlehuber from comment #40)
Thanks for your comments and testing.

I've tested the startup now and find that it looks like the database
is not starting at all, as the rc.d script looks for

pgrep beam

but that process is not started. Maybe it's because there's no
default.ini file ? Those are only installed if OTP20 is selected (?).

It seems there's still some open issue somehow ?

Building it with OTP20 allows the beam* processes to run, but:
if I then proceed as explained in the pkg-message, the curl calls work.
Proceeding as described in

http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.1/install/setup.html#single-node-setup

to the URL

http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils#setup

it works until a point and some errors pop up. I have no idea about couchdb2,
so if anyone has more experience... ?

"make install" is already broken again. At least for OTP20. Same will happen with OTP19.

Cause is the *static* pkg plist. 

Couchdb2 builds as an erlang application package which self-contains the complete OTP which is taken from the currently installed erlang-runtime20-20.x.y.z. For example pkg-plist wants to copy files from "erts-9.3.2" but OPT20 is already at "erts-9.3.3".

So the port will break with each minor OTP update.

Ok, now I understand your comment about the dynamic plist. We still have
issues with OTP20 not working completly and OTP19 not working at all, no ?
Comment 45 Dave Cottlehuber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-06-29 20:39:28 UTC
I'm unable to create users in the OTP20 version, does this work for anybody else?

curl -X PUT http://admin:passwd@localhost:5984/_users/org.couchdb.user:beastie -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "beastie", "password": "whatiscoredoingaboutit", "roles": [], "type": "user"}'

BTW wearing my "upstream" hat we should be fine with OTP20 and the 3 small patches, but it's a bit odd nobody else has mentioned/noticed this already; I'll not get to submitting them until monday earliest though as I borked my ports computer.
Comment 46 Tobias Herre 2018-06-30 10:25:07 UTC
Neither OTP19 nor OTP20 works.
As already mentioned OTP20 fails at "make install" with file not found erros. pkg-plist points to "%%OTP20%%libexec/couchdb2/erts-9.3.2/" but the "make" process copies the erts directory "from /usr/local/lib/erlang20/erts-9.3.3/" which is installed when using the latest ports tree with svn update. Btw. "pkg install erlang-runtime20" installs erts currently in "/usr/local/lib/erlang20/erts-9.3/"

So I think it is impossible to build an always working port for couchdb app with self-contained erts when using a static pkg-plist.

For OTP19 "make install" works, because pkg-plist still matches the erlang runtime system in "/usr/local/lib/erlang19/erts-8.3.5.4/".

But you can't start it (service start couchdb2) because none of the installed files have +x permission. Reason is the use of ${COPYTREE_SHARE} instead of ${CP}.

@Dave: Yes, I can create users with OTP20 without any problems. (provided that I've got a working couchdb2 installation like from patch v16)
Comment 47 Tobias Herre 2018-07-01 14:04:55 UTC
There is an option "excl_lib" in erlang reltool (http://erlang.org/doc/man/reltool.html), but it's marked experimental.
Setting excl_lib to otp_root in work/.../rel/reltool.config prevents embedding of OTP. Also some modifications in bin/couchdb are needed to get it to work. So this would be a possibility to stick on a static plist, because OTP hast not to be copied at "make install".
But this feature is experimental and not the way couchdb2 should be built. 
At most this could be offered as experimental feature in "make config" which  could be selected to save some disk space.

Request feedback from MAINTAINER listed in latest patch.

If someone else wants to progress this, please provide an updated patch addressing any remaining issues (and updating the MAINTAINER line if needed)

patch-v19

I moved discussion to https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16819 with proposed patch
that complies with expected permissions, file locations, allows running couch 
1.7.x and 2.x concurrently to ease migration, and depends on the OTP files from
lang/erlang-runtime* to make port maintenance easier. It's missing the ability
to split out the HTML docs, as previous ports removed fauxton (IMO required),and also some of the javascripts needed for views.

I'll look at adding them back, and probably removing OTP19 support as I see no
real-world use case for it.

comments welcomed & many thanks for everybody's contributions.
