USF Maps App

The USF Maps App (originally known as MoBullity) helps USF students, staff, and visitors get around the USF Tampa campus using various transportation options (walk, bike, USF Bull Runner shuttle, USF Share-A-Bull bikeshare, Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART), Enterprise CarShare).

USF Maps App offers the following features:

Multi-modal trip planning based on real-time transit and bikeshare information. Also includes options to avoid stairs and prefer bike lanes.
Real-time bus locations on map
Real-time bikeshare locations on map
USF Bike lanes on map

Available live at http://maps.usf.edu/.

See sneak peaks of new features at the beta version at http://mobullity.forest.usf.edu/.

This application is based on the open-source OpenTripPlanner project. It uses data from OpenStreetMap.org for walking, bike, and road data.

We would like to acknowledge the support and funding assistance provided by the USF Student Green Energy Fund, USF Center for Urban Transportation Research, and Florida Department of Transportation.

Setting up the Server

OTP Standalone Server using usf-mobullity branch mobullityrebase:

Requires: Java 1.8 (JDK/JRE), and Maven. For SSL, you may or may not need to install the "Unlimited Strength" JCE and US export policies from Oracle.
To Build:
1. Open command prompt
2. Navigate to usf-mobullity folder
3. Use command mvn clean package. This creates an otp.jar file in the target folder that is used to run the server
Build Graph:
1. From the usf-mobullity folder, run: java -jar target/otp.jar -b /path/to/files
The OSM file, GTFS file(s), and build-config.json should all be located at the root of the /path/to/files directory.
1. Move Graph.obj (and any necessary Graph.properties) into the graphs/ subdirectory for this configuration.
To obtain the OSM data, browse to openstreetmap.org and "Export" a given region. Larger regions may need to be downloaded from a site such as metroextracts, or using the overpass API (linked from the "Export" page, or similar to http://overpass-api.de/api/map?bbox=-82.9350,27.2790,-82.0120,28.3760)
To Run: Note:
- You will need to first build the Graph.obj file from your OSM data. You also may need Graph.properties in the same directory as your Graph.obj to specify runtime settings such as GTFS and bike rental updater frequencies.
- Port and securePort default to 8080 and 8181 respectively. To use the standard 80, and 443, you may need to run the server with elevated (root, administrative) privileges.
1. Run server with command java -jar target/otp.jar --basePath /path/to/files -s
For the standard ports, use: java -jar target/otp.jar --basePath /path/to/files -s -p 80 --securePort 443

Geocoder Server using usf-mobullity branch usf-gui

This is configured to respond to geocode?address= requests looking for matches in the static application-resources.xml and falling back to the MapQuest Nominatim service.

Start server with Apache Tomcat 7.0 on port 8181
Use Eclipse to export otp-geocoder.war file OR you can use Maven at the command-line from the opentripplanner-geocoder directory (with pom.xml)
Upload war file(s) into Tomcat Manager OR manually configure as below.

Manual Configuration:

Secure the Tomcat manager application to localhost by adding the following to context.xml:

	<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
         allow="127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" />

Set your manager username and password in tomcat-users.xml:

<user username="USER" password="PASS" roles="manager-gui"/>

Configure the HTTP/HTTPS ports in server.xml by adding or editing the following lines:

  <Connector port="8181" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000"         redirectPort="8443" />

  <Connector port="8443" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" keystoreFile="/path/to/keystore" keystorePass="PASSPHRASE" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

Note the keystoreFile and keystorePass - these should match what your SSL certificate was created with. See the SSL section for more information.

You can also verify the WAR directory with:

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

Possibly configure the WEB-INF/web.xml inside of opentripplanner-geocoder
Copy the otp-geocoder.war into the webapps directory, and start Tomcat.

Then you should be able to access: http://localhost:8181/otp-geocoder/geocode?address=msc

Note The WAR filename will determine how Tomcat autodeploys and the final endpoint you will use to access the application.

In order to test the local geocoder from a local deployment of OTP, you must allow CORS via the tomcat web.xml configuration below:

<filter>
  <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
  <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>cors.allowed.origins</param-name>
    <param-value>*</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>cors.allowed.methods</param-name>
    <param-value>GET,POST,HEAD,OPTIONS,PUT</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>cors.allowed.headers</param-name>
    <param-value>Content-Type,X-Requested-With,accept,Origin,Access-Control-Request-Method,Access-Control-Request-Headers</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>cors.exposed.headers</param-name>
    <param-value>Access-Control-Allow-Origin,Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>cors.support.credentials</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>cors.preflight.maxage</param-name>
    <param-value>10</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

GTFS-RT Service:

https://github.com/CUTR-at-USF/bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator

This is an internal service used by OTP to read vehicle positions and trip updates converted from the Bullrunner AVL system (Synchromatics).

It requires the Bullrunner GTFS data to be stored in bullrunner-gtfs/ one level below the JAR file. Additionally, a file key.txt should also be in a folder one level below the JAR file and should contain the API key for the Syncromatics API.

To build:

Open command prompt
Navigate to bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator folder
Use command mvn clean package. This creates the bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar file in the target folder that is used to run the server

To run: (from the base directory)

java -jar \target\bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT --tripUpdatesUrl=http://localhost:8088/trip-updates --vehiclePositionsUrl=http://localhost:8088/vehicle-positions

Deployment Testing: (From https://github.com/CUTR-at-USF/test/tree/WIP-jmfield2)

A python unittest-based system that reads test parameters from spreadsheets (locally, or remotely via google sheets) against the specified server and checks that the output matches expected behavior. More information available on github.

Also, it might be helpful to know that USF IT uses two staging webapps for the MyUSF system: (m.usf.edu)

https://usf-test.modolabs.net/

Automated/Continuous Deployment System

Our development workflow includes nightly builds of all three applications with Jenkins on the mobullity server which pushes the resulting JARs to our Hosted Chef account.

To access Jenkins, login to http://localhost:8080/ from mobullity.

Chef is configured at (https://manage.chef.io/organizations/cutr-at-usf) and manages all three servers.

We use a development and production environment to control which versions of a particular cookbook to deploy.

More detailed technical details are in the mobullity wiki.

Development Configuration

SSL:

Note: keyStore must be in basePath, otherwise the SSL won't be properly initialized and connections will 'abort' (because of no matching ciphers, etc). Note that there are two SSL keystores - one for Tomcat (for geocoder) and one for embedded Jetty server from running OTP JAR.

Generate CSRs:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -out maps_usf_edu.csr -keyout maps_usf_edu.key -subj "/C=US/ST=Florida/L=Tampa/O=University of South Florida/OU=CUTR/CN=maps.usf.edu"

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -out mobullity_usf_edu.csr -keyout mobullity_usf_edu.key -subj "/C=US/ST=Florida/L=Tampa/O=University of South Florida/OU=CUTR/CN=mobullity.usf.edu"

Have USF IT create the certificates and download the "as x509, base64 encoded" file, or self-sign for internal testing and import into Java Keystore at C:/OTPFiles/keyStore:

USF IT:

Use the as X509, Base64 encoded CER file.
openssl pkcs12 -export -in cert.cer -inkey mobullity_forest_usf_edu.pem -passout pass:PASS > server.p12
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore server.p12 -destkeystore server.jks -srcstoretype pkcs12

Self-signed:

openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -in mobullity_forest_usf_edu.csr
openssl pkcs12 -export -in cert.pem -inkey mobullity_forest_usf_edu.pem -passout pass:PASS > server.p12
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore server.p12 -destkeystore server.jks -srcstoretype pkcs12

The cert is also managed via Chef for OTP Jetty server, so you'll need to log into development machine and import key into C:\chef\cache\cookbooks\otp\files\default\maps.jks. Then run C:\opscode\chef\bin\knife spork bump otp && c:\opscode\chef\bin\kni fe cookbook upload otp to update the cookbook. Then, log into both mobullity2 and 3 and delete the contents of C:\chef\backup and C:\chef\cache, and then reboot the machines to force a pickup of the new cookbook from Chef.io (for some reason the machines aren't actively checking in on their own).

To test, you can run the following nmap script to list all available ciphers which should yield something like:

nmap --script +ssl-enum-ciphers -p 8081 localhost

TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2:

TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA - strong
      TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA - strong      
      TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 - strong
      TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
      TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 - strong
      TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA - strong
      TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA - strong
      TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 - strong
      TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
      TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 - strong
      TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA - strong
      TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA - strong
      TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 - strong
      TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
      TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 - strong

NOTE: Forward-secrecy issues might cause e.g, SSLLabs to cap the grade of the server because of default Java 8 limitations on the Diffie-Helman key exchange (1024 bits).

Another nmap script to test:

nmap --script ssl-dh-params localhost

This can be fixed using a Java option:

-Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048

More information @ www.weakdh.org and some other discussion of solutions at http://serverfault.com/questions/722182/how-to-generate-new-2048-bit-diffie-hellman-parameters-with-java-keytool

Build-Config.json

This file should be in the same directory as the OSM file and is used currently to specify the OSM tags to capture when building the graph for use by the POI layers.

The structure is a basic JSON file:

    { pois: {
        amenity: {
            parking: [],
        },
        shop: {
             supermarket: [],
        }
        } }

This saves all OSM node and way information for amenity:parking, shop:supermarket tags.

Graph.properties

This file should be in the same directory as the Graph.obj file, and specifies runtime settings.

The structure is unique_name.field = value

GTFS updater

Vehicle Positions

g2.type = vehicle-position-updater
g2.defaultAgencyId = USF Bull Runner
g2.sourceType = gtfs-http
g2.frequencySec = 5
g2.url = http://mobullity.forest.usf.edu:8088/vehicle-positions

This specifies the vehicle position updater for the bus position layer.

Trip Updates

This loads the stop time predictions converted from AVL to GTFS for use by the GTFS-RT extension proposed to OTP but not yet in use.

Any of the trip update or vehicle positions URLs can be viewed in human-readable form by appending ?debug to the URL.

g.type = stop-time-updater
g.defaultAgencyId = USF Bull Runner
g.sourceType = gtfs-http
g.frequencySec = 30
g.url = http://mobullity.forest.usf.edu:8088/trip-updates

Bike Rental

bike1.type = bike-rental
bike1.frequencySec = 100
bike1.sourceType = opendata-bikes
bike1.url = http://usf.socialbicycles.com/opendata/

bike2.type = bike-rental
bike2.frequencySec = 100
bike2.sourceType = opendata-hubs
bike2.url = http://usf.socialbicycles.com/opendata/

These specify the opendata base URLs for bike and hub real-time data from socialbicycles.

Request Logging and Rotation

Currently, trip planner requests are logged to a file named 'requests.log' and rotated daily. The day is appended to the filename and retained for 7 days at which time OTP will delete the file.

The servers have a nightly task (12:30 AM) that adds any new requests.YYYY-MM-DD.log files to the existing requests.zip file so that the logs can be kept for longer than 7 days.

Production Configuration

Public-facing ports balanced by Netscaler appliance:

OTP - 80, 443
Geocoder - 8181, 8443 (exposing /otp-geocoder)

Ports that should be opened to internal servers:

GTFS-RT - 8088 (HTTP) exposing /vehicle-positions and /trip-updates

NSSM

Since we use standalone Java files, we have to wrap these in another application - like NSSM - to be managed like a Windows service.

Chef stores cookbook files @ Amazon S3 (knife cookbook show otp 1.0.4)

The structure of these cookbooks files/default:

geocoder_tomcat:

context.xml
geocoder-web.xml
otp-geocoder.war
server.xml
tomcat-users.xml
web.xml

gtfsrealtime:

bullrunner-gtfs.zip
bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

otp:

Graph.properties
build-config.json
otp.jar
tampa_florida.osm.pbf
maps.jks
mobullity.jks

This cookbook will also schedule a task at 11:59 PM to rebuild the graph if any relevant file is changed.

Node attributes:

jks_filename: {maps, mobullity}
tomcat_path: "/path/to/tomcat"

JKS specifies which keyStore to use (for maps.usf.edu, or mobullity.forest.usf.edu).
Tomcat_Path just specifies the full path to Tomcat in case it is different on a given node.

Eclipse Development Environment

Although Netbeans is probably easier and less painful to setup, the following steps should work to help get a dev environment working with Eclipse. More information @ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xn5RZmfijAqedt8asEMcIBS33rtDzvXlpVUTbuqXOSo (Documentation of how to setup various OTP versions with api.citybik.es)

Ensure your Eclipse workspace is clean. It might also be helpful to ensure it is not within a directory that Google Drive or similar is monitoring (as building/cleaning processes can cause unexpected behavior)
Ensure your JDK is properly configured in Eclipse. Window - Prefs - Java - Installed JREs i.e: not just a JRE - I used jdk1.7.0_51
Follow the OTP guides to setting up Eclipse with plugins and the lombok.jar
Clone the target OTP repository
Perform the Maven update process. Right-click on the opentripplanner project - Maven - Update Project
May be unnecessary, but I found that also performing a maven package helped: Run - Run As - Maven build… -- Goals: package -- also, skip tests to save some time.
Create the tomcat instance and add the otp-webapp and otp-api-webapp modules as described in the installation tutorial (https://readthedocs.org/projects/opentripplanner/)
NOTE: You may also need to “Clean work directory” from tomcat by right-clicking on the server within the servers tab especially if you have tested other versions recently.
Configure OTP - Graph, and Bicycle data source

Each version of OTP needs a corresponding graph object to be built. You can either download a region, or build an object from an openstreetmap extract.

How to configure and perform the other various tasks are documented in the other sections.

MapBox Styles

The current tiles are provided by three MapBox styles. One for the normal 'streets', one for 'satellite', and one for 'hybrid'. The icons are from the "streets-v8" style from mapbox, and may require manually updating the sprite setting by downloading the JSON and changing the URL to: "mapbox://sprites/mapbox/streets-v8"

In order to correct the default MapBox POI label with the desired "(ABBR) Abbreviation" style, we maintain a separate POI tileset and give that label layer 'export2 copy' priority by moving it higher in the list of layers, and then by adding text padding under the placement tab so that other layers cannot render. This works in most cases, but should probably be replaced by a single tileset of all POIs in Tampa.

These are supported by 3 geojson tilesets that can be updated using the overpass turbo tool using the following data:

##OTP Documentation##

A good place to start is the official OTP docs @ http://opentripplanner.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ and http://dev.opentripplanner.org/apidoc/0.15.0/

Automated Deployment

Jenkins#

The development machine (with Jenkins) automatically builds: usf-mobullity/mobullityrebase, usf-mobullity/usf-gui (geocoder), and bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator/master every night at midnight if there were SCM changes.

After the build finishes, there are build hooks defined to run the following batch files (on the development machine) depending on the repository built:

NOTE: The last line is "cmd1 && cmd2" because on separate lines cmd2 was not executed - aka, the file was updated in the local c:/chef-repo but NOT uploaded to the server for use by chef.

Build Hooks

c:/OTPFILES/chef-geocoder.bat:
REM Copy geocoder WAR from jenkins
copy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\OTP Geocoder\workspace\opentripplanner-geocoder\target\opentripplanner-geocoder.war" c:\chef-repo\cookbooks\geocoder_tomcat\files\default\otp-geocoder.war

cd c:\chef-repo

REM Bump cookbook version, Upload cookbook (XXX and freeze?)
C:\opscode\chef\bin\knife spork bump geocoder_tomcat && C:\opscode\chef\bin\knife cookbook upload geocoder_tomcat

This copies the newly built WAR and uploads it into a new revision of the geocoder_tomcat cookbook in Chef for deployment by the servers.

C:/OTPFiles/chef-otp.bat:
REM copy newly compiled JAR from Jenkins workspace into the chef cookbook
copy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\Mobullity\workspace\target\otp.jar" c:\chef-repo\cookbooks\otp\files\default\otp.jar

cd c:\chef-repo

REM First, BUMP the cookbook patch version & Second, UPLOAD the changes (the file) to the chef repo server
C:\opscode\chef\bin\knife spork bump otp && c:\opscode\chef\bin\knife cookbook upload otp

Copies the new otp.jar from the Jenkins workspace, bumps the patch version of the OTP cookbook, and uploads to chef.

C:/OTPFiles/chef-gtfs.bat:
REM Copy JAR from jenkins workspace
copy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\GTFS-RT\workspace\target\bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT" c:\chef-repo\cookbooks\gtfsrealtime\files\default\bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

cd c:\chef-repo

REM Bump cookbook version
C:\opscode\chef\bin\knife spork bump gtfsrealtime && c:\opscode\chef\bin\knife cookbook upload gtfsrealtime

Copies the new gtfs-rt-bullrunner jar from Jenkins workspace, bumps the gtfsrealtime patch version, and uploads to chef.

Service Management

Non-sucking Service Manager (NSSM) is configured on the 3 mobullity servers to manage the following Java services: mobullityOTP, mobullityGTFS and allows for the use of the Windows services control panel to start and stop the processes. The command-line configuration options are stored inside the NSSM wrapper and can be accessed by running:

nssm.exe edit mobullityOTP

Chef Environment

Development, Environment

This is defined under Policy -> Environment on the chef UI, in chef_environment per node (knife node edit), and knife environment [list|edit]

This will let you set e.g. default cookbook versions:

  "cookbook_versions": {
    "geocoder_tomcat": "= 1.0.0",
    "gtfsrealtime": "= 1.0.0",
    "otp": "= 1.0.4"
  },

GeocoderTomcat:

attributes/default.rb:

default['tomcat']['path'] = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 7.0/'

This is overridden by node with: knife node edit as follows:

  "normal": {
    "tomcat": {
      "path": "c:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 7.0/"
    },

Files: context.xml, geocoder-web.xml, otp-geocoder.war, server.xml, tomcat-users.xml, web.xml

These are the Tomcat configuration files, and the WAR file to deploy.

end

Pushing to Chef

To make a change and distribute to chef, simply open the file in c:\chef-repo\cookbooks\otp\files, save, and after optionally bumping the version (in cookbooks\otp\metadata.rb or with knife spork bump) you upload the new file to chef with: knife cookbooks upload otp.

This block defines the commands used to build a new graph using the OSM and GTFS data in the working directory. It must be scheduled independently of chef (via e.g schtasks) so that the server does not go down every time a change is detected.

execute "osm_build" do
	#notifies :stop, "windows_service[mobullityOTP]", :immediately
	
	command "java -jar otp.jar -g . -b ."
	creates "C:/OTPFiles/Graph.obj"
	cwd "C:/OTPFiles"

	action :nothing
	notifies :start, "windows_service[mobullityOTP]"
end

These blocks manage the HART, PSTA, and Bullrunner GTFS files from the remote sites shown and updates the local file if any changes are found. This also schedules a graph rebuild.

remote_file "C:/OTPFiles/bullrunner-gtfs.zip" do
	source "https://github.com/CUTR-at-USF/bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator/raw/master/bullrunner-gtfs.zip"
	action :create
	
	notifies :run, "execute[osm_build]"
end

remote_file "C:/OTPFiles/hart.zip" do
	source "http://www.gohart.org/google/google_transit.zip"
	action :create
	
	notifies :run, "execute[osm_build]"
end

remote_file "C:/OTPFiles/psta.zip" do
	source "http://www.psta.net/latest/google_transit.zip"
	action :create
	
	notifies :run, "execute[osm_build]"
end

Makes sure the Tampa, FL extract from https://s3.amazonaws.com/metro-extracts.mapzen.com/tampa_florida.osm.pbf is being used on the server and copies it to map.osm.pbf if any changes occur. If this happens it will run the osm_build block to schedule a graph rebuild.

The OSM File is not automatically polled since changes would happen at least daily, but instead must be manually pulled from the metro-extracts URL and uploaded to chef the same way as Graph.properties.

cookbook_file "C:/OTPFiles/map.osm.pbf" do
	source "tampa_florida.osm.pbf"
	action :create
	
	notifies :run, "execute[osm_build]"
end

These two blocks copy any newly built JAR files from files/otp.jar into OTPFiles/otp.jar.stage, stops the service, and then runs copy_jar which copies this file to otp.jar and restarts the service. This will happen every time Jenkins builds the project and pushes the new JAR to chef when the build hook executes.

execute "copy_jar" do

	command "copy /y otp.jar.stage otp.jar"	
	cwd "C:/OTPFiles"

	action :nothing
	notifies :start, "windows_service[mobullityOTP]"
end

cookbook_file "C:/OTPFiles/otp.jar.stage" do

	source "otp.jar"
	action :create
	
	# XXX rebuild graph?
	
	notifies :stop, "windows_service[mobullityOTP]", :immediately
	notifies :run, "execute[copy_jar]", :immediately
	
	#notifies :start, "windows_service[mobullityOTP]"
end

Finally, this block makes chef ensure the OTP service is running every time it runs (30 minute intervals).

windows_service "mobullityOTP" do
	action :start
	startup_type :automatic
	
    supports :status => true, :restart => true, :start => true
end

Geocoder_Tomcat:

Sync the Tomcat/Geocoder configuration files from chef and restart Tomcat. This allows the path to tomcat to change based on the installation and is configured by node attribute.

knife node edit NODE-NAME

cookbook_file "#{node["tomcat"]["path"]}/conf/context.xml" do
	source "context.xml"
	action :create
	notifies :restart, "windows_service[Tomcat7]"
end

cookbook_file "#{node["tomcat"]["path"]}/conf/server.xml" do
	source "server.xml"
	action :create
	notifies :restart, "windows_service[Tomcat7]"
end

cookbook_file "#{node["tomcat"]["path"]}/conf/web.xml" do
	source "web.xml"
	action :create
	notifies :restart, "windows_service[Tomcat7]"
end

cookbook_file "#{node["tomcat"]["path"]}/conf/tomcat-users.xml" do
	source "tomcat-users.xml"
	action :create
	notifies :restart, "windows_service[Tomcat7]"
end

cookbook_file "#{node["tomcat"]["path"]}/webapps/otp-geocoder/WEB-INF/web.xml" do
	source "geocoder-web.xml"
	action :create
	notifies :restart, "windows_service[Tomcat7]"
end

Using either the default attribute for this cookbook, or the node attribute, copy the WAR from chef to the tomcat webapps dir, and restart tomcat.

cookbook_file "#{node["tomcat"]["path"]}/webapps/otp-geocoder.war" do
	source "otp-geocoder.war"
	action :create
	
	notifies :restart, "windows_service[Tomcat7]"
end

windows_service "Tomcat7" do
	action :start
	startup_type :automatic
end

files/: otp-geocoder.war context.xml geocoder-web.xml server.xml tomcat-users.xml web.xml

GTFSRealtime:

This copies new bullrunner GTFS data to the working directory and extracts the zipfile (as expected by the server) to bullrunner-gtfs.

windows_zipfile "c:/bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator/bullrunner-gtfs" do
	source "c:/bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator/bullrunner-gtfs.zip"
	action :nothing
	notifies :restart, "windows_service[mobullityGTFS]"
end

cookbook_file "c:/bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator/bullrunner-gtfs.zip" do
	source "bullrunner-gtfs.zip"
	action :create
	
	notifies :unzip, "windows_zipfile[c:/bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator/bullrunner-gtfs]"
end

As above, copy any new gtfsrealtime jars to a staging area, stop the service, copy it over, and restart.

execute "copy_jar" do

	command "copy /y bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.stage bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
	cwd "C:/bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator/target"

	action :nothing
	notifies :start, "windows_service[mobullityGTFS]"
end

cookbook_file "c:/bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator/target/bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.stage" do
	
	source "bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
	action :create

	notifies :stop, "windows_service[mobullityGTFS]", :immediately
	notifies :run, "execute[copy_jar]", :immediately
	
end

As above, just keep the service running.

windows_service "mobullityGTFS" do
	action :start
	startup_type :automatic
end

files/: bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Steps to Install/Provision Servers w/ Chef:

Install the following software manually:

Oracle Java 1.8 64bit
Tomcat 64bit service installer
http://nssm.cc (the non-sucking service manager) (OTP, GTFS)
Chef-client https://downloads.chef.io/chef-client/windows/

Install NSSM for OTP,GTFS:

Download package from website, extract win64\nssm.exe to desktop and in command prompt run:

nssm install mobullityotp java -jar c:\otpfiles\otp.jar -g c:\otpfiles -s --port 80
nssm set mobullityotp AppDirectory c:\otpfiles # for startup dir

nssm install mobullitygtfs java -jar c:\bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator\target\bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --tripUpdatesUrl=http://localhost:8088/trip-updates --vehiclePositionsUrl=http://localhost:8088/vehicle-positions

"Service "mobullitygtfs" installed successfully!"

Individual settings can be set via commandline:

nssm set mobullitygtfs AppDirectory c:\bullrunner-gtfs-realtime-generator

"Set parameter "AppDirectory" for service "mobullitygtfs"."

Chef

We use Opscode Chef (Hosted) on the free tier which allows monitoring of 5 nodes.

Install the client (instructions @ https://docs.chef.io/release/12-5/install_dk.html)
Setup the client and node information and keys: knife client create, knife node create
Add chef permission for client: (on manage.chef.io or knife download/upload /acls/nodes)

chef-client -c c:\chef-repo.chef\knife.rb -N mobullity2
copy new .rb config to c:\chef\client.rb for chef-windows-service to find

Install knife-spork plugin using embedded ruby: c:\opscode\chef\embedded\bin\gem install knife-spork

NOTE: Chef stores cookbook files @ Amazon S3 (knife cookbook show otp 1.0.4) Also, you may need to install the knife 'spork' plugin (used by development build hooks)

After this, you just have to specify which environment this node is in (production, development), and make sure the chef-client service is running.

Every 30 minutes (the default), chef-client will run and process the cookbook recipes specified in the environment. Upgrading or downgrading versions and files as necessary.

Install Chef Client Development Kit

These were done in a stock debian docker container, but are similar for other platforms.

dpkg -i chefdk_1.1.16-1_amd64.deb
chef verify
apt-get install git

create a directory for chef repo
copy knife.rb, user.pem, org-validator.pem into (chef repo)\.chef
knife download .

Now you can make changes to the cookbook recipes, files, or anything you can change in the manage.chef.io interface and upload them with knife.

knife cookbook show will output the direct Amazon S3 links to view the files.

Production Network Policies

We use a Netscaler appliance managed by USF IT to load balance requests to the production servers. It is configured to remember the server used by a particular session (sticky routing) for cases where that might be necessary or benefit performance (e.g. trip plans are faster after the first request, so using the same server will benefit a bit on subsequent requests).

Public-facing ports balanced by Netscaler appliance:

OpenTripPlanner - 80, 443 Geocoder - 8181, 8443 GTFS-RT - 8088

SSL is enabled on the 443 and 8443 ports, the others are standard HTTP endpoints.

The ACLs should allow 80, 443, 8181, 8443, and 8088 between mobullity.forest.usf.edu, mobullity2.forest.usf.edu, and mobullity3.forest.usf.edu)

Manual Deployment Steps

In case you cannot or don't want to wait until midnight to push a new version to each of the servers:

Push the desired changes to GitHub, PR and merge.
RDP into Mobullity
Login to Jenkins (http://localhost:8080/)
Click on the "OTP" project
On the left, click "Build Now"
When the build is finished, check the log (at the bottom) and make sure the Chef build hooks ran.
Restart chef client service

To update the production environment with the latest changes ahead of schedule:

Login to Manage.chef.io
Policy - Cookbooks - OTP (make a note of the latest version #)
Policy - Environments - Production
Cookbook Constraints - Edit: OTP (update the version to the version saved in step 2)
Optionally RDP into mobullity2 and mobullity3 to manually restart the chef client service

The steps are the same for the gtfsrealtime, and geocoder_tomcat cookbooks.

For OTP, you may also need to rebuild the graph depending on the changes needed. This should automatically schedule for midnight, but you can run them immediately:

RDP into each server
From a command prompt, run: schtasks /run /tn mapbuild

NOTE: This will cause service interruption while it builds, so try to do one at a time. You will know when the process is finished because the "Java" process will consume 99% CPU while processing the graph.
