+h2(#introduction). Introduction
The Keepproxy server is a gateway into your Keep storage. Unlike the Keepstore servers, which are only accessible on the local LAN, Keepproxy is suitable for clients located elsewhere on the internet. Specifically, in contrast to Keepstore:
-* A client writing through Keepproxy generates less network traffic: the client sends a single copy of a data block, and Keepproxy sends copies to the appropriate Keepstore servers.
-* A client can write through Keepproxy without precomputing content hashes. Notably, the browser-based upload feature in Workbench requires Keepproxy.
+* A client writing through Keepproxy sends a single copy of a data block, and Keepproxy distributes copies to the appropriate Keepstore servers.
+* A client can write through Keepproxy without precomputing content hashes.
* Keepproxy checks API token validity before processing requests. (Clients that can connect directly to Keepstore can use it as scratch space even without a valid API token.)
By convention, we use the following hostname for the Keepproxy server:
<div class="offset1">
table(table table-bordered table-condensed).
-|_Hostname_|
-|keep.@uuid_prefix@.your.domain|
+|_. Hostname|
+|@keep.ClusterID.example.com@|
</div>
This hostname should resolve from anywhere on the internet.
-h2. Install Keepproxy
+h2(#update-config). Update config.yml
-On Debian-based systems:
+Edit the cluster config at @config.yml@ and set @Services.Keepproxy.ExternalURL@ and @Services.Keepproxy.InternalURLs@.
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install keepproxy</span>
-</code></pre>
+<pre><code> Services:
+ Keepproxy:
+ ExternalURL: <span class="userinput">https://keep.ClusterID.example.com</span>
+ InternalURLs:
+ <span class="userinput">"http://localhost:25107": {}</span>
+</span></code></pre>
</notextile>
-On Red Hat-based systems:
+h2(#update-nginx). Update Nginx configuration
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install keepproxy</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
+Put a reverse proxy with SSL support in front of Keepproxy. Keepproxy itself runs on the port 25107 (or whatever is specified in @Services.Keepproxy.InternalURL@) while the reverse proxy runs on port 443 and forwards requests to Keepproxy.
-Verify that Keepproxy is functional:
+Use a text editor to create a new file @/etc/nginx/conf.d/keepproxy.conf@ with the following configuration. Options that need attention are marked in <span class="userinput">red</span>.
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">keepproxy -h</span>
-...
-Usage: keepproxy [-config path/to/keepproxy.yml]
-...
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
+<notextile><pre><code>upstream keepproxy {
+ server 127.0.0.1:<span class="userinput">25107</span>;
+}
-h3. Create an API token for the Keepproxy server
+server {
+ listen 443 ssl;
+ server_name <span class="userinput">keep.ClusterID.example.com</span>;
-{% assign railscmd = "bundle exec ./script/get_anonymous_user_token.rb --get" %}
-{% assign railsout = "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" %}
-The Keepproxy server needs a token to talk to the API server. On the <strong>API server</strong>, use the following command to create the token. {% include 'install_rails_command' %}
+ proxy_connect_timeout 90s;
+ proxy_read_timeout 300s;
+ proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+ proxy_http_version 1.1;
+ proxy_request_buffering off;
+ proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
-h3. Set up the Keepproxy service
+ ssl_certificate <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.pem</span>;
+ ssl_certificate_key <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.key</span>;
-Install runit to supervise the keepproxy daemon. {% include 'install_runit' %}
+ # Clients need to be able to upload blocks of data up to 64MiB in size.
+ client_max_body_size 64m;
-The run script for the keepproxy service should set the environment variables @ARVADOS_API_TOKEN@ (with the token you just generated), @ARVADOS_API_HOST@, and, if needed, @ARVADOS_API_HOST_INSECURE@. The core keepproxy command to run is:
+ location / {
+ proxy_pass http://keepproxy;
+ }
+}
+</code></pre></notextile>
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>ARVADOS_API_TOKEN=<span class="userinput">{{railsout}}</span> ARVADOS_API_HOST=<span class="userinput">uuid_prefix.your.domain</span> exec keepproxy
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
+Note: if the Web uploader is failing to upload data and there are no logs from keepproxy, be sure to check the nginx proxy logs. In addition to "GET" and "PUT", The nginx proxy must pass "OPTIONS" requests to keepproxy, which should respond with appropriate Cross-origin resource sharing headers. If the CORS headers are not present, brower security policy will cause the upload request to silently fail. The CORS headers are generated by keepproxy and should not be set in nginx.
-h3. Set up a reverse proxy with SSL support
+{% assign arvados_component = 'keepproxy' %}
-Because the Keepproxy is intended for access from anywhere on the internet, it is recommended to use SSL for transport encryption.
+{% include 'install_packages' %}
-This is best achieved by putting a reverse proxy with SSL support in front of Keepproxy. Keepproxy itself runs on port 25107 by default; your reverse proxy can run on port 443 and pass requests to Keepproxy on port 25107.
+{% include 'start_service' %}
-<notextile><pre>
-upstream keepproxy {
- server 127.0.0.1:<span class="userinput">25107</span>;
-}
+{% include 'restart_api' %}
-server {
- listen <span class="userinput">[your public IP address]</span>:443 ssl;
- server_name keep.<span class="userinput">uuid_prefix</span>.your.domain;
+h2(#confirm-working). Confirm working installation
- proxy_connect_timeout 90s;
- proxy_read_timeout 300s;
- proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+We recommend using the "Cluster diagnostics tool.":diagnostics.html Because Keepproxy is specifically a gateway used by outside clients, for this test you should run the diagnostics from a client machine outside the Arvados private network, and provide the @-external-client@ parameter.
- ssl on;
- ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/keep.<span class="userinput">uuid_prefix</span>.your.domain-ssl.crt;
- ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/keep.<span class="userinput">uuid_prefix</span>.your.domain-ssl.key;
+Here are some other checks you can perform manually.
- # Clients need to be able to upload blocks of data up to 64MiB in size.
- client_max_body_size 64m;
+Log into a host that is on a network external to your private Arvados network. The host should be able to contact your keepproxy server (eg @keep.ClusterID.example.com@), but not your keepstore servers (eg keep[0-9].ClusterID.example.com).
- location / {
- proxy_pass http://keepproxy;
- }
-}
-</pre></notextile>
+@ARVADOS_API_HOST@ and @ARVADOS_API_TOKEN@ must be set in the environment.
-Note: if the Web uploader is failing to upload data and there are no logs from keepproxy, be sure to check the nginx proxy logs. In addition to "GET" and "PUT", The nginx proxy must pass "OPTIONS" requests to keepproxy, which should respond with appropriate Cross-origin resource sharing headers. If the CORS headers are not present, brower security policy will cause the upload request to silently fail. The CORS headers are generated by keepproxy and should not be set in nginx.
+@ARVADOS_API_HOST@ should be the hostname of the API server.
+
+@ARVADOS_API_TOKEN@ should be the system root token.
-h3. Tell the API server about the Keepproxy server
+Install the "Command line SDK":{{site.baseurl}}/sdk/cli/install.html
-The API server needs to be informed about the presence of your Keepproxy server. Please execute the following commands on your <strong>shell server</strong>.
+Check that the keepproxy server is in the @keep_service@ "accessible" list:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">uuid_prefix=`arv --format=uuid user current | cut -d- -f1`</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">echo "Site prefix is '$uuid_prefix'"</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">read -rd $'\000' keepservice <<EOF; arv keep_service create --keep-service "$keepservice"</span>
-<span class="userinput">{
- "service_host":"<strong>keep.$uuid_prefix.your.domain</strong>",
- "service_port":443,
- "service_ssl_flag":true,
- "service_type":"proxy"
-}
-EOF</span>
-</code></pre></notextile>
+<pre><code>
+$ <span class="userinput">arv keep_service accessible</span>
+[...]
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+If keepstore does not show up in the "accessible" list, and you are accessing it from within the private network, check that you have "properly configured the @geo@ block for the API server":install-api-server.html#update-nginx .
+
+Install the "Python SDK":{{site.baseurl}}/sdk/python/sdk-python.html
+
+You should now be able to use @arv-put@ to upload collections and @arv-get@ to fetch collections. Be sure to execute this from _outside_ the cluster's private network.
