This repository is also a runnable docker container.
Currently, the entry point takes a single command argument. This can be httpd or shell.
-
httpd
This will start apache listening for connections on$PORT
-
shell
This will start an interactive shell in the container. Useful for debugging.
-
PORT
This must be a value >= 1024. The httpd will listen on this port for incoming plain-text HTTP connections. Default: 8000 -
MOJO_REVERSE_PROXY
This tells the backend that it is behind a proxy. Default: 1 -
MOJO_HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL
How often (in seconds) will the manager process send a heartbeat to the workers. Default: 10 -
MOJO_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT
Maximum amount of time in seconds before a worker without a heartbeat will be stopped gracefully Default: 120 -
MOJO_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT
Maximum amount of time in seconds a connection can be inactive before getting closed. Default: 120 -
MOJO_WORKERS
Number of worker processes. A good rule of thumb is two worker processes per CPU core for applications that perform mostly non-blocking operations, blocking operations often require more and benefit from decreasing concurrency with "MOJO_CLIENTS" (often as low as 1). Note that during zero downtime software upgrades there will be twice as many workers active for a short amount of time. Default: 1 -
MOJO_SPARE
Temporarily spawn up to this number of additional workers if there is a need. This allows for new workers to be started while old ones are still shutting down gracefully, drastically reducing the performance cost of worker restarts. Default: 1 -
MOJO_CLIENTS
Maximum number of accepted connections each worker process is allowed to handle concurrently, before stopping to accept new incoming connections. Note that high concurrency works best with applications that perform mostly non-blocking operations, to optimize for blocking operations you can decrease this value and increase "MOJO_WORKERS" instead for better performance. Default: 200 -
BUGZILLA_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP
This should never be set in production. It allows auth delegation and oauth over http. -
BMO_urlbase
The public URL for this instance. Note that if this begins with https:// and BMO_inbound_proxies is set to '*' Bugzilla will believe the connection to it is using SSL. -
BMO_canonical_urlbase
The public URL for the production instance, if different from urlbase above. -
BMO_attachment_base
This is the URL for attachments. When the allow_attachment_display parameter is on, it is possible for a malicious attachment to steal your cookies or perform an attack on Bugzilla using your credentials.If you would like additional security on attachments to avoid this, set this parameter to an alternate URL for your Bugzilla that is not the same as urlbase or sslbase. That is, a different domain name that resolves to this exact same Bugzilla installation.
For added security, you can insert %bugid% into the URL, which will be replaced with the ID of the current bug that the attachment is on, when you access an attachment. This will limit attachments to accessing only other attachments on the same bug. Remember, though, that all those possible domain names (such as 1234.your.domain.com) must point to this same Bugzilla instance.
-
BMO_db_driver
What SQL database to use. Default is mysql. List of supported databases can be obtained by listing Bugzilla/DB directory - every module corresponds to one supported database and the name of the module (before ".pm") corresponds to a valid value for this variable. -
BMO_db_host
The DNS name or IP address of the host that the database server runs on. -
BMO_db_name
The name of the database. -
BMO_db_user
The database user to connect as. -
BMO_db_pass
The password for the user above. -
BMO_site_wide_secret
This secret key is used by your installation for the creation and validation of encrypted tokens. These tokens are used to implement security features in Bugzilla, to protect against certain types of attacks. It's very important that this key is kept secret. -
BMO_jwt_secret
This secret key is used by your installation for the creation and validation of jwts. It's very important that this key is kept secret and it should be different from the side_wide_secret. Changing this will invalidate all issued jwts, so all oauth clients will need to start over. As such it should be a high level of entropy, as it probably won't change for a very long time. -
BMO_inbound_proxies
This is a list of IP addresses that we expect proxies to come from. This can be '' if only the load balancer can connect to this container. Setting this to '' means that BMO will trust the X-Forwarded-For header. -
BMO_memcached_namespace
The global namespace for the memcached servers. -
BMO_memcached_servers
A list of memcached servers (IP addresses or host names). Can be empty. -
BMO_shadowdb
The database name of the read-only database. -
BMO_shadowdbhost
The hotname or IP address of the read-only database. -
BMO_shadowdbport
The port of the read-only database. -
BMO_setrlimit
This is a JSON object and can set any limit described in https://metacpan.org/pod/BSD::Resource. Typically it used for setting RLIMIT_AS, and the default value is{ "RLIMIT_AS": 2000000000 }
. -
BMO_size_limit
This is the max amount of unshared memory the worker processes are allowed to use before they will exit. Minimum 750000 (750MiB) -
BMO_mail_delivery_method
Usually configured on the MTA section of admin interface, but may be set here for testing purposes. Valid values are None, Test, Sendmail, or SMTP. If set to Test, email will be appended to the /app/data/mailer.testfile. -
BMO_use_mailer_queue
Usually configured on the MTA section of the admin interface, you may change this here for testing purposes. Should be 1 or 0. If 1, the job queue will be used. For testing, only set to 0 if the BMO_mail_delivery_method is None or Test. -
USE_NYTPROF
Write Devel::NYTProf profiles out for each requests. These will be named /app/data/nytprof.$host.$script.$n.$pid, where $host is the hostname of the container, script is the name of the script (without extension), $n is a number starting from 1 and incrementing for each request to the worker process, and $pid is the worker process id. -
NYTPROF_DIR
Alternative location to store profiles from the above option. -
LOG4PERL_CONFIG_FILE
Filename of Log::Log4perl config file. It defaults to log4perl-syslog.conf. If the file is given as a relative path, it will relative to the /app/conf/ directory. -
LOG4PERL_STDERR_DISABLE
Boolean. By default log messages are logged as plain text toSTDERR
. Setting this to a true value disables this behavior.Note: For programs that run using the
cereal
log aggregator, this environment variable will be ignored.
How Bugzilla logs is entirely configured by the environmental variable
LOG4PERL_CONFIG_FILE
. This config file should be familiar to someone
familiar with log4j, and it is extensively documented in
Log::Log4perl.
Many examples are provided in the logs/ directory.
If multiple processes will need to log, it should be configured to log to a socket on port 5880. This will be the "cereal" daemon, which will only be started for jobqueue and httpd-type containers.
The example log config files will often be configured to log to stderr themselves. To prevent duplicate lines (or corrupted log messages), stderr logging should be filtered on the existence of the LOG4PERL_STDERR_DISABLE environmental variable.
Logging configuration also controls which errors are sent to Sentry.
This container expects /app/data to be a persistent, shared, writable directory owned by uid 10001. This must be a shared (NFS/EFS/etc) volume between all nodes.
docker build -t bmo-cpanfile -f Dockerfile.cpanfile .
docker run -it -v "$(pwd):/app/result" bmo-cpanfile cp cpanfile cpanfile.snapshot /app/result
The mozillabteam/bmo-perl-slim image is stored in the Mozilla B-Team
Docker Hub repository. It contains just the Perl dependencies in
/app/local
and other Debian packages needed. Whenever the cpanfile
and cpanfile.snapshot
files have been changed by the above steps after
a succcessful merge, a new mozillabteam/bmo-perl-slim image will need to
be built and pushed to Docker Hub.
A Docker Hub organization administrator with the correct permissions
will normally do the docker login
and docker push
.
The <DATE>
value should be the current date in YYYYMMDD.X
format
with X being the current iteration value. For example, 20191209.1
.
docker build -t mozillabteam/bmo-perl-slim:<DATE> -f Dockerfile.bmo-slim .
docker login
docker push mozillabteam/bmo-perl-slim:<DATE>
After pushing to Docker Hub, you will need to update Dockerfile
to
include the new built image with correct date. Create a PR, review and
commit the new change.
