Create storage dataset's for GROK

Create a jail for GROK

Setup jail mount points for src and data. You need to stop the jail to add mount points and then restart afterwards.

• /mnt/u03/opengrok/src → /var/opengrok/src
• /mnt/u03/opengrok/data → /var/opengrok/data

Find the JAIL and open a shell

root@ale[~]# jls
   JID  IP Address      Hostname                      Path
     1                  plex                          /mnt/u02/iocage/jails/plex/root
     2                  bind                          /mnt/u02/iocage/jails/bind/root

     6                  grok                          /mnt/u02/iocage/jails/grok/root
root@ale[~]# jexec 6 /bin/sh

Install opengrok and git. To generate the history caches from GIT based repositories we need the git command line tool.

# pkg install -y opengrok git

# pkg info opengrok

Description    :
OpenGrok is a fast source code search and cross reference engine.
It helps you search, cross-reference and navigate your source tree.  It can
understand various program file formats and version control histories like
Mercurial, Git, SCCS, RCS, CVS, Subversion, Teamware, ClearCase, Perforce
and Bazaar.  In other words it lets you grok (profoundly understand) the
open source, hence the name OpenGrok.  It is written in Java.

This installs tomcat8 we need to autostart this.

# ls /usr/local/etc/rc.d
tomcat8

Enable for auto start /etc/rc.conf

echo tomcat8_enable="YES" >>/etc/rc.conf

and start it

service tomcat8 start

This should fire up with an error. That's OK as we have not indexed anything the error will disappear after indexing.

Make a directory

mkdir /var/opengrok/etc

Create a helper script and run it.

cat <<EOF >~/opengrok-index
opengrok -c /usr/local/bin/exctags -s /var/opengrok/src -d /var/opengrok/data -H -P -S -G -W /var/opengrok/etc/configuration.xml
service tomcat8 restart
EOF
chmod a+x ~/opengrok-index
~/opengrok-index

The -U parameter only takes host:port and it assumes the WEBAPP is called /source which means the indexer can't tell the running opengrok to reload. So restart tomcat as part of the index run. A minor wart.

Moving tomcat from port 8080 to port 80 Edit /usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0/conf/server.xml file and replace 8080 with 80

    <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" />

Make opengrok the default web application by adding a <Context> tag inside <Host>
