Dev Notes

from docker machine do docker exec -it werecruit_prod /bin/bash to loginto werecruit container.

To figure out all open connections on pg, run following sql on db

docker exec -it werecruit_prod /bin/bash -> to get shell acess to werecruit_prod container.
- To get out the container shell without stopping the container , please enter ctrl+p followed by ctrl+q
docker ps -a
docker start werecruit_prod
docker pause werecruit_prod
docker commit werecruit_prod werecruit_image
docker images
docker unpause werecruit_prod

From main contabo machine do docker exec -it werecruit_prod /bin/bash to login to werecruit container.

cd to etc/werecruit .
Run ./werecruit_start.sh
if you get permission error please run chmod +X werecruit_start.sh. Typically file permissions are lost after you do git pull.

(optional ) find running gunicorn processes by running ps ax|grep gunicorn.
stop gunicorn by running pkill gunicorn
find weRecruit scheduler process by running command ps ax|grep cronjobs.py. In theory you should see only python process listed ( excluding gunicorn related python processes if any.)
To stop weRecruit scheduler note down the pid listed in above step and run kill <pid>
Confirm it is stopped by visiting werecruit website from browser & verify you get a gateway error.

if you want to stop and start werecruit, please follow the steps in stop and start section respectively.
Run wr_maintain.sh script to clean up *.log & *.out files
cleanup sessions related folder by ( TODO -> automate this step )
- cd /etc/werecruit/sessions
- rm *
DB backups ( Need to automate it)
- currently backups are being taken by connecting to pg thru pg admin and taking back up on laptop. Needs a better way
once in a while container may crash or stop , to restart do following from main contabo machine
- run docker ps -a command to ensure werecruit_prod is listed.
- run docker start werecruit_prod command to start the werecruit prod container
Please note : To come out of werecruit_prod container without stopping it , please enter ctrl+p followed by ctrl+q. You will be taken back to the main contabo machine.

from terminal login to the werecruit container. For creds contact admin.
run cd /etc/werecruit
stop werecruit
- run git status to list files you may changed on the prod.
- if the werecruit_start.sh is changed then you may first want to restore it on server b by running git restore werecruit_start.sh
Db upgrade if applicable
.env file update if applicable.
optionally clean up flask sessions folder
optionally clean up werecruit.log folder.
run git pull to get all the latest code
do chmod +x werecruit_start.sh. Note executable permisions are lost in every git pull which has a modified version of wercecruit_start.sh.
run we_recruit_start.sh
sanity test with test data
- test user acct -> [email protected]

From the main contabo machine run following commands

docker pause werecruit_prod ( this is our container name)
docker commit werecruit_prod werecruit_image
verify image is created by running docker images & ensure the new image is listed.
docker unpause werecruit_prod.
If you want to move the image created above from one machine (A) to another machine ( say B), run following commands
- on machine A docker save werecruit_image > werecruit_prod.tar
- copy the above tar file from A to B using scp from machine A to B.
- on machine B, run docker load --input werecruit_prod.tar
- on machine B, for first time only you need to run docker run -dit -p 0.0.0.0:8280:5000/tcp --name werecruit_prod werecruit_image. This will create and start the container.
