Hi!!!

I'm trying to deploy a Meteor App with mup but I'm having problems with CPU usage

And I don't know what to do

I've found that it's better not to use oplog with mongodb, but I don't know how to disable MONGO_OPLOG_URL

What do yo recommend me?

Laurent Roger

@lc3t35

find why cpu is high using meteor’s apm package : https://montiapm.com

Erik Demaine

@edemaine

https://meteor-up.com/docs.html#swarm says that swarm is required for load balancing and zero-downtime deploys, while https://zodern.me/posts/meteor-up-1-5/ seems to suggest that this can be done just with nginx proxy. Which is right?

Erik Demaine

@edemaine

Also, does anyone have a sample configuration for medium-scale deploy? Do people typically run proxy, mongodb, and n meteor instances on n+2 different machines?

zodern

@zodern

@edemaine load balancing can be done with either swarm, or enabling the option for the proxy. This changed when 1.5 was almost finished, but the docs haven't been updated.

If you use let's encrypt, the proxy can only be run on one server. If you want to run the proxy on multiple servers, you can create the certificates from a different source and have Meteor Up upload them to each server. For one app that I want multiple load balancers for, I use https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000479507-Managing-Cloudflare-Origin-CA-certificates.

zodern

@zodern

For medium scale deploys of a production app you might want to:

If you use Let's encrypt, have one server with the proxy. If your Meteor app uses a lot of CPU or you have a large number of requests per second you might want this on a separate server. Mup 1.6 will likely support high availability for the proxy when using a floating IP address and multiple servers, but right now it is a single point of failure.
Use Atlas or another Mongo hosting service, or run a replica set yourself
Run the app on 3+ servers for high availability and spreading the load
Optionally use a private docker registry for faster deploys: http://meteor-up.com/docs.html#private-docker-registry

Erik Demaine

@edemaine

Thanks @zodern!! My app currently seems to be CPU-limited, and most of that seems to be the Meteor processes, so I'll try 1 host for proxy, 1 host for Mongo (though maybe those two could be merged), and 3+ hosts for Meteor, for starters anyway.

Erik Demaine

@edemaine

Oh, and redis. I guess I'll try putting that on the proxy host...

Zamil Murji

@zmurji

I'm looking to support a static site at the domain (e.g. example.com) on an AWS EC2 instance.
I'd like to run the meteor app at a subdomain for the same domain (e.g. mysubdomain.example.com)
Currently I have the mysubdomain.example.com working and I'd like some help with getting the static site working. Can anybody provide an example mup.js file that does what I'm looking for? Do I need to build a docker image with my static site?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help

Zamil Murji

@zmurji

I should mention I want everything on the same AWS EC2 instance

zodern

@zodern

I had considered building a plugin for static websites, but I've switched to using Netlify or similar services. Would you mind sharing why you want to host your static site on the server instead of using a service? If there is enough interest I might still build the plugin.

These would be the two easiest options:

Use https://www.npmjs.com/package/mup-docker-deploy with a custom dockerfile
Create a simple node server (maybe with express and the static middleware) to serve the static files and deploy with https://www.npmjs.com/package/mup-node

Zamil Murji

@zmurji

I didn't want to have the static website and meteor site on two different servers or services. Trying to keep everything on one EC2 instance. Reading the docs a bit more, can I use env PORT to solve my problem? If I set env PORT for the app to something other than 80 (say 5000 like the example in the doc), would subdomain work to connect to that port automatically? I could then use my current nginx setup for the static website on the server that binds to port 80/443

Zamil Murji

@zmurji

initially when I had the nginx server running on port 80/443, mup was failing as it couldn't bind to that port. will give it a try and post my results.

Erik Demaine

@edemaine

In case anyone would like an example configuration for a multiple-machine deployment, here is one, along with description / recommended configuration.

Laurent Roger

@lc3t35

thank you @edemaine, did you also study how to upscale mongo ?

@lc3t35

as it said, port is already allocated

do you have another ng’ox or apache2 running on your host or another docker ?

(« another nginx »)

Grzegorz Pociejewski

@pociej

@lc3t35 thx for reply but there is no ngix at least not one run by me. Here is what is running there :

➜ stage git:(stage) ✗ mup docker ps
[46.101.130.237] docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
18ca9aafb793 mup-app:latest "/bin/sh -c 'bash $M…" 44 hours ago Up 44 hours 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp app
1561a2cec1a3 mongo:3.4.1 "/entrypoint.sh mong…" 7 weeks ago Up 11 days 127.0.0.1:27017->27017/tcp mongodb

so indeed there is app running on port 80

but i expected mup to manage things. Should i stop app cntainer then run proxy and redeploy ?

Grzegorz Pociejewski

@pociej

Ok after i stop the app config proxy and them redeploy it seems to be running ( at least no error )

but still i see invalid cert error while im sure certificate is ok, should i go there and place certificate related files somwhere in container ?

Laurent Roger

@lc3t35

what is the error message ?

zodern

@zodern

I released mup-node 0.8 today. This release adds support for production debugging. Run mup node debug, and you can connect your local Node devtools, for example those in Chrome, to your Node app running on the server.

Slind14

@Slind14

Hi @zodern do you know if there is a way to set an environment variable with multiple args? E.g. for nodejs diagnostics this is required:
NODE_OPTIONS: '--report-uncaught-exception --report-on-fatalerror --report-on-signal --report-signal=SIGUSR2 --report-filename=./meteor-app-diagnostic-report.json --report-directory=/tmp'
If done through mup it fails with Error response from daemon: Dockerfile parse error line 13: ARG requires exactly one argument

or adding them to the node start command

Hello everyone. I have a bit of an issue. I've been hired to update an app that is pretty active and in production. I'm faced with redeploying updates to the app, it was learned that mup was used to deploy the app, however the original deployment mup.js file is no longer available. I have root ssh access to the production server. Is there any way for me to reverse-engineer/dump the mup.js config details on the production server so that I can recreate the deployment to match the current configuration? Or do I have to start over from scratch? There are multiple apps being run through mup on this server, and downtime needs to be at a minimum.

Fred-J

@Fred-J

Hello, When mup setup --verbose runs on Windows 10 Power Shell, it gives path\to\mup.ps1 is not digitally signed. Do I need to change Windows PowerShell execution policies? The second question is do I need to use mup.cmd setup or that ".cmd" only applies to mup.cmd init?

Hi,
Could somebody share a post.mongo.start hook that access mongo via its shell. Thanks

Laurent Roger

@lc3t35

can you detail Erik ?

Eric Priou

@erixtekila

Yep. I would like to launch a ssh command, after the local mongo db has started. BTW, the plugin API is not really documented and I have hard time to figure how to get into mongo from it

hooks": {
    "post.mongo.start" (api)
    {
      const config = api.getConfig();
      console.log(config);
    }
  }

Hey, I had a quick question about the docker image which meteor-up uses for the proxy. Is it possible to update to a newer version of this image using the mup CLI, or is there an accepted way to do this? I mainly want to keep nginx up to date without interfering with the normal mup process, so I've been avoiding manually updating the image.

conorstrejcek

@conorstrejcek

@djbelieny Did you ever get more information on updating the nginx-proxy docker image?

Rob Gordon

@robgordon_gitlab

Hi - in need of assistance - been using mup for 4+ years. Love it.
But I'm completely at a loss as to why I'm getting a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable. (Am trying to re-release an existing working app to a new Digital Ocean droplet)

mup status looks like everything has deployed perfectly. Any suggestions?

Meteor version 1.8.2.
image: 'zodern/meteor:root'.

conorstrejcek

@conorstrejcek

@robgordon_gitlab If you are using the proxy, are you able to share nginx logs?

Fred-J

@Fred-J

How to modify the proxy nginx-config which is generated by mup? "mup proxy nginx-config" shows it.

Rob Gordon

@robgordon_gitlab

@conorstrejcek @Fred-J Thanks for your responses. As mentioned, this was an existing application that had successfully been deployed perhaps a dozen times over the last 12 months. I'm not sure why I was getting that error, nor why it finally deployed without an error; very frustrating but as of Mar 08 it's been uploaded :)

Renan LE CARO

@renanlecaro

Hi all, I've created a github workflow to upload my open source app to digital ocean with mup directly in a github vm. It lets me deploy faster (my upload speed at home is terrible) and rollback changes on github from a mobile phone (useful for indies). So i though i'd share the file : https://github.com/renanlecaro/simpletextnet/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml
