Metro East weekly dev sessions - October 03
Meeting Purpose
Weekly development session to discuss progress and challenges with Metro East's digital asset management system upgrade.
Key Takeaways
- David is currently focused on a storage system upgrade, which is more complex than anticipated and involves multiple steps.
- The new server (dam1.metroeast.org) is now accessible, but some configuration issues remain, particularly with the Elemental transcoder setup.
- The team needs to consult with Christopher about the Elemental configuration, as the expected settings are not visible in the current version.
Topics
Storage System Upgrade
- David is working on a storage system upgrade to support mounting volumes for data storage.
- The upgrade is more involved than usual, requiring an OS update and intermediate version before reaching the target.
- Timeline is uncertain, but David aims to complete it in the coming week.
Server Configuration and Access
- External SSH is configured on the new server (dam1.metroeast.org).
- The server is running Rocky Linux, with a setup that doesn't allow direct root SSH access.
- NGINX was initially not running but was successfully started and enabled during the meeting.
- Firewall settings were checked and appear to be correctly configured for HTTP/HTTPS access.
Digital Asset Management (DAM) System Status
- The DAM system is accessible, but it's using default settings and lacks user data from the previous installation.
- The team discovered that user data is not included in the snapshot, as it's part of the system configuration.
- An issue with the logo upload was encountered, showing a blurred image despite successful file transfer.
Elemental Transcoder Configuration
- The team couldn't locate the Elemental transcoder configuration in the expected catalog settings.
- An elemental.conf file was found on the old server, containing login credentials but little other information.
- The configuration appears to be missing from the current version, and the team needs to consult with Christopher for guidance.
Next Steps
- David to continue working on the storage system upgrade and associated server updates.
- Consult with Christopher about the Elemental transcoder configuration and how it was previously implemented.
- Investigate and resolve the logo upload issue in the DAM system.
- Schedule a follow-up meeting to review progress and address remaining configuration challenges.

I've time queued this Friday to work with our team to get the upgrades applied to services and the SAN itself, to support modern linux versions.
I will be skipping this Thursday's meeting time, 11AM PT, Oct 10 to focus on other items.
Hi David, no problem, we can meet again next week. good luck with the upgrades!
Hi! We've spent much of the last week handling minor fallout from our directory upgrade; in prep for the new VM to mount the SAN. I'm still not ready to complete that portion of the build. Might be possible next week, not sure yet.
Oke, do you want to keep the meeting for today or aim for next week as well?
