EMTF-DQM-Website

A web-tool for querying CERN's CMS Data Quality Monitoring System

Host the website yourself (If and when csctiming.cern.ch goes down)

1. Register CERN Instance with hostname of choice: https://openstack.cern.ch/project/ . Use C8 (Centos8) OS Source. m2.small size is fine. Create a key pair to eventually use to ssh.

2. SSH to this instance using your created key password. Clone git repo.

3. Get Grid Certificate Key & certificate: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/WorkBookStartingGrid

4. Get CERN Root Certificate: https://cafiles.cern.ch/cafiles/

5. Place these three files in a directory (outside of the repo). In backup.sh define:

   • CACHE: path to directory containing these three keys
   • CACERT: path to CERN Root Certificate Authority file
   • PUBLIC_KEY: path to Grid Certification public key
   • PRIVATE_KEY: path to Grid Certificate private key

backup.sh is where the server will run from.
