Hi Linus,
I know you're just getting started as sysadmin, but I want to check in with you about something we're hoping to get for support.torproject.org: a search function. The ticket was temporarily closed since we couldn't figure out a way to do search: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25322. But maybe you can help?
Happy to provide more info as needed.
Thanks, Alison
So getting back to plan a reasonable setup to search our portals. The last time we talked about this, UX wanted the following:
- Text search per portal
- Results should be on a html page and not be fetched via JS
- The subdomain where results should be served should be the same of the portal where the user started the search
My original idea and test included setup for 1 solr instance. Results from solar were retrieved through a web service written in python that would only query solr and serve the html pages to the user.
Ideally the web service could live on a different subdomain and the pages be served with proxypass?
This setup though complicates a lot our static rotation architecture. There are a lot of questions open that I can discuss with Linus and Weasel separately.
Talk soon,
