CDN Service

Running a local CDN server with MongoDB

Note: These instructions are for running a local instance of CDN and not all of these steps are required. It is assumed you have MongoDB installed and running.

1. From your home folder create the ~/.cdn folder and clone the repo:

   $ cd
   $ mkdir .cdn
   $ git clone https://github.com/rackerlabs/cdn.git

2. Copy the CDN config files to the directory ~/.cdn:

   $ cp cdn/etc/cdn.conf-sample ~/.cdn/cdn.conf
   $ cp cdn/etc/logging.conf-sample ~/.cdn/logging.conf

3. Find the [drivers:storage:mongodb] section in ~/.cdn/cdn.conf and modify the URI to point to your local mongod instance:

   uri = mongodb://$MONGODB_HOST:$MONGODB_PORT

4. For logging, find the [DEFAULT] section in ~/.cdn/cdn.conf and modify as desired:

   log_file = server.log

5. Change directories back to your local copy of the repo:

   $ cd cdn

6. Run the following so you can see the results of any changes you make to the code without having to reinstall the package each time:

   $ pip install -e .

7. Start the CDN server:

   $ cdn-server

8. Test out that CDN is working by requesting the home doc:

   $ curl -i -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8888/v1/

You should get an HTTP 201 along with some headers that will look similar to this:

HTTP/1.0 201 Created
